19. You have got to be kidding me. There is no comparison between the two
You people who continue to blindly support clinton and company no matter what crap they pull may get what they wish for with the nomination, but the rest of the nation may pay the price in the long run.

4. Why are people so bent out of shape
that he's campaigning for his wife? The other candidate's spouses are campaigning, too. They just don't get as much attention because they're not Bill Clinton.

11. Because Bill is working harder for it than Hillary is.
And because they're using Bill for attacks while Hillary talks nice. She's hiding behind him.

16. she does
and I bet she has a lot more scheduled events per day than he does. To say he's working harder than her is just a made up lie. But again, not unexpected.

18. He's got multiple events every day
And his comments get more media attention than anything she says. Bill cried when she lost IA. Did she?

but the notion that he's campaigning harder than she is is just bullshit. But again, not unexpected.

8. Well then you will see that HRC&WJC are the smartest people
in the room as compared to how the mediawhores sold bush, that he did not have to be the smartest person in the room, because people liked him (i e obama )
Hell, you do not have to like HRC, and when she is elected then the legislation she proposes and gets passed and how it will be of benefit to you and your family then you might like her....Folks we are in serious times and we need a serious person that knows the issues and can take america into a new direction. It is all well and good that obama can give a great speech, but as john lewis said
"You need more than speech-making. You need someone who is prepared to provide bold leadership."

Enough said....

9. Since he's the one running for re-election, I'd say yes.
It would give Hillary someone to hide behind.

after the Russert fiasco, Hillary has done very, very well in these debates.

17. Keep it up folks.....
Keep giving women voters more reasons to aggressively support Hillary Clinton.

Keep trying to make her look like a woman dependent on her man.......

Please keep trying.....it's working very nicely, than you.

22. Yes, Bill should be in every debate
The finger wagging, the false indignation, it should be broadcast in every debate so the American public can see who is running for office. Ah, the memories!

I would love to see a woman POTUS, a woman that does not have to hide behind a man that has humiliated her and lied to the American people and made all of their political allies and supporters lie for him because they believed him.

Yanno, a woman that can handle the primaries and the general election, and thus the tougher job of President, on her own. I don't think that is to much to ask. Hillary obviously is not that woman.

23. What will Obamatons do next
for a wildly posited push poll?

Is that flop sweat I smell? You do reek of desperation.

27. RE-ELECT BILL CLINTON!!!
It's the Economy again, Stupid!

The Comeback, Comeback Kid!

He still feels our pain!

Personally, I have no problem with Bill in the WQhite House. I would have voted him there if I could.

So even though I expect Hillary will be her own person and make the big decisions, I'm still very happy that the best president of my lifetime (and I'm old) will be there to advise her.

30. Well said

So I'll repeat it:

"So even though I expect Hillary will be her own person and make the big decisions, I'm still very happy that the best president of my lifetime (and I'm old) will be there to advise her."

I couldn't agree more. (and I'm old, too.)

31. I'd like to see a "First Lady" debate --
Michelle Obama, Elizabeth Edwards, and Bill Clinton debating amongst themselves. Somehow, I think Bill would win.
