Reply #7: The criticism in your excerpt is of Obama and other Democrats, not Clinton

[karynnj]

It is saying - without backup - that he is a bigger draw than Obama - and then laments that this is troubling for the future because Clinton won't live forever. In fact, while Clinton is doing a very useful good job on the campaign trail, I don't think he is getting the huge crowds that Obama is getting.

That said - it doesn't matter who is drawing 30,000 people and who a smaller number in the the tens of thousands - it is better for the Democrats to have BOTH of them out there. In addition, there are people who might be swayed by Bill and not by Obama - just as the reverse is likely true. Together they reach and excite more Democrats to get out there. Unlike 2008, no one has to choose between them.
