The Resurgence of Bill Clinton
Howard Fineman, Newsweek
If you're President Obama, here is a galling fact: most Democrats would rather have Bill Clinton campaign for them this fall than, um, you."Part of it is that Bill Clinton is, at this point, a sympathetic story and has always been a likeable guy," says Eric Schultz of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee. "But his appeal right now has to do with the fact that voters associate him with a time of prosperity. You can't say that about either George W. Bush or, unfortunately, Barack Obama."
