Clinton Planning to Use Book Tour to Assist Kerry

[JI7]

<As former President Bill Clinton prepares for a barrage of publicity and a cross-country tour to promote his memoirs, his political advisers are consulting with the Democratic Party and Senator John Kerry's campaign about ways that Mr. Clinton can lend a political hand in the process.

But they also say that whenever his book-selling obligations allow, Mr. Clinton is eager to pitch in for the party by plugging Mr. Kerry and subtly putting down Republicans at book-selling events, and by speaking at fund-raisers or campaign stops on his tour.

"We have met with the campaign so that they can be aware of what we are doing and where we are going. He wants to be helpful in any way that he is asked. He knows John Kerry and he likes him a lot and thinks he would be a great president. At book events, I think he will be asked about and he will be able to talk about John Kerry in a very thoughtful and compelling way."

But unlike Mr. Gore, Mr. Kerry plans to embrace Mr. Clinton, capitalizing on his support as much as possible in places where he is popular, aides to Mr. Kerry said. The two men speak personally roughly once every 10 days, their aides said.

"I intend to get him to campaign as much as he can," Mr. Kerry said in a recent interview about Mr. Clinton's book. "I think he's good." ?>

1. It's great to listen to him speak..

He is so eloquent. Not that they are the same but he is in the same category as Raygun. But he is a lot more intelligent..

4. Excellent. I hope Kerry can capitalize on this.

Bush has Arizona by 0.58% and West Virginia by 0.37% according to http://electionprojection.com/elections2004.html "> Election Projection

Perhaps Clinton can help knock down Bushs' 4.35% in Arkansas as well.

5. Great pics, I agree and I toast them also...

additionally, I read another thread saying top ex military and envoy brass were coming down on the Bush admin. like a cement cloud!

None of them held a particular political party, they just feel it is imperative that we get this whack job out of office pdq.

So, between that article and this one, I'm nearly orgasmic with glee!!

Keep hope alive!!
