Clinton Asks Allies' Help - Balt Sun

Clinton asks allies' help

With Sen. Barack Obama looking to sweep tomorrow's Potomac primaries, Sen. Hillary Clinton unleashed powerful allies in Maryland yesterday for a strategic push aimed at traditional Democratic groups who have helped her in other states.

Former President Bill Clinton crisscrossed Maryland, calling his wife "the best change-maker I ever saw" during a speech at the Charlestown Retirement Community in Catonsville. Daughter Chelsea Clinton made appearances in Baltimore's Belvedere Square shopping district and later went to the University of Maryland, College Park.

The vigorous activity - intended to keep Clinton competitive in the hunt for delegates even if she loses the popular vote in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia - illustrated the importance of tomorrow's regional contests in the presidential race.

If Obama wins all three Democratic primaries, he would continue momentum gained over the weekend, when he carried primaries and caucuses in Nebraska, Washington, Louisiana and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The surge was continuing yesterday, as Obama won the Maine caucuses by a healthy margin. "Seems like everywhere we go, the longer we are in this race, the stronger we get," Obama said in an interview aired last night on CBS' 60 Minutes.

2. Bill says wife is "the best change-maker I ever saw"

They are really grasping at straws. No campaign theme, so again they borrow(I am being generous here) one.

I can do that too, Bill. "Give me a break!"
