Especially with young females.

Yup, he is an asset for the campaign.

Bill's been losing it lately...it'll be sad to have this process under a media microscope, if Hillary ends up winning it all. I can't stand the guy...but it would still be painful to watch.

I was there. Owensboro loves Bill and Hillary. The place was packed and it wasn't college students.

I think small up-close venues where people can ask questions are important, especially for politicians who are considered "celebrities" above it all, and can speak for hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's not always about impressive photos.

About 600 in attendance. Obama tripled that in the same venue in 08. Although for that they used the open air auditorium there and security was a lot tighter.

Bill is definitely going through a transition. Even though I always thought Hillary was the better of the two. I always admired him and voted for him twice. Then we had the big lie and I jumped the shark.

I agreed with Jimmy Carter in regards to his performance in 2008. Not much better this time around.
