Everyone appears to have their NYTimes this morning, so I hope y'all read Katharine Q. Seelye on BillClinton, "Back in the Thick of Politics."She gets the controversial remarks and she gets the dynamic duo strategy, but she also gets why some Democratic voters love it."While pundits debated the degree to which those comments were strategic and whether they helped or hurt Mrs. Clinton, those thrusts and parries made up only a fraction of his public appearances here, and voters were not that interested in them."Instead, they sat in rapt attention at Mr. Clinton's town-hall-style events, which were essentially mini lectures on public affiars."She notes that Bill Clinton has attraced an unusual and outsized press contingent gobbling up every remark. "...He has become so enmeshed in the campaign that the candidate who is running is often called 'the Clintons.' And that seems just fine to many of the people at these event; they often say how happy they would be to have him back in the White House."Just a little reality check!Here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/27/us/politics/27bill.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=Seelye&st=nyt&oref=slogin
