He He...Clinton sure knocked Ronnie off the front page!

[trumad]

And there are some here at DU who think old Bill's Ego is hurting Kerry... Fools!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

1. Reagan has a major disadvatage vs. Clinton in that he is dead. n/t

[Kahuna]

11. Yep.. Ronnie, who???

:bounce:

[smada]

2. Ole Ronnie's been dead two and a half weeks

His time on the front page passed about a week ago with or without Clinton. And Clinton IS taking away from spotlight from Kerry, probably by design if you ask me.

[trumad]

5. Horseshit...

First off, it was just 10 days ago they buried the dude... Now they ain't talking about him at all...

secondly... Just when should Bill have released his er completed book... 7 months from now after the election? Get real!

[smada]

6. How long would you have preferred to see Reagan's mourning dragged out??

He died June 5th!!! He's been bestowed a longer mourning period than probably any president ever, including Lincoln and Kennedy. Do you not think his time in the news cycle was dwindling naturally? Just asking.

[trumad]

10. He was buried June 12th

and no...I do not think the right wing news agency's were letting it die. Clinton buried it for good.... BTW: Have you seen the recent Kerry/Bush ABC poll... Looks like a Clinton bump for JK.... I betcha that burns your hide!

[lancdem]

7. Clinton being the target of the Repukes and the media

gives Kerry a breather. In a week or so, when Clintomania has died down, Kerry will announce his VP. Perfect.

8. I don't think Kerry is too concerned about it.

June 28 issue - As John Kerry toyed last month with the idea of delaying his official nomination, one voice broke though the babble of advisers and aides: Bill Clinton's. The former president told Kerry not to wait until after the Democrats' convention in Boston—a ploy that was supposed to help the senator spend and raise unlimited cash through August. (According to one former Clinton aide, the ex-prez thought the delay would be "a distraction.") Clinton's intervention was typical of the advice offered in the regular late-night phone calls between the ex-president and the presidential candidate. Clinton's friends and Kerry's aides tell NEWSWEEK that the former president hopes to tune up the message of a senator who lacks Clinton's political perfect pitch.

>snip<

Brushing off fears among Dems that Clinton might overshadow Kerry, the campaign has embraced the ex-president's book tour. "He'll mention John Kerry's name at every stop, like he's been doing," said one Kerry aide. "It's basically cost-free campaigning for us." Beyond the book tour, campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill envisages Clinton's raising funds and rallying the base. Kerry himself makes ample use of the former president's name, advisers and record. At a Detroit union hall last week, Kerry won his loudest applause when he invoked the Clinton economy. His team of economic advisers is led by Roger Altman (formerly deputy Treasury secretary) and Gene Sperling (Clinton's longtime White House economist). The same goes for his foreign-policy team, dominated by Sandy Berger (Clinton's national-security adviser) and Richard Holbrooke (his U.N. ambassador).

12. When did Kerry EVER have "the spotlight?" Clinton takes the spotlight

equally from Kerry and shrub. That's the part the idiot repukes keep leaving out. And if you ask me, Clinton is an awfully good surrogate for Kerry.

3. I'm lovin' it.

:loveya:

4. There is suddenly a proliferation of enlarged neck veins amongst the

members of the right wing community.

Big Dawg far outshines "their boy" in public interest. :loveya:

9. Yep! Fools! They need to stop being duped by the repuke memes.
