The Clinton Factor

Morning Line: “While everyone is focused on what Hillary Clinton will do in 2016, don’t look beyond this election so quickly and what Bill Clinton is doing. Friday, for example, he’s in Florida stumping in Miami for Charlie Crist, the once critical former Republican governor trying to win again as governor — this time as a Democrat. Flying below the radar, Clinton has been to Kentucky twice for Alison Lundergan Grimes and will be in Iowa next week for the Harkin Steak Fry.”

Politico notes that Clinton has done “more than 20 events for Democratic hopefuls from Florida to Kentucky to Rhode Island as the party’s most sought-after surrogate and rainmaker… It’s President Barack Obama whom many campaigns are steering clear of, and Bill Clinton who is in high demand.”
