ASPEN — Democrats should perform well in November if they focus on issues like climate change, former president Bill Clinton told an Aspen Ideas Festival audience Friday.
“Historically, we should win,” Clinton said. “We might well win one or more houses.” In a wide-ranging, hour-long interview, Clinton discussed AIDS, Sudan, limits to executive power, climate change, Rwanda, oil, Iraq, Democratic Party strategies and GOP mastermind Karl Rove.
The Republican strategy is weak, he said.

And why he never took action on any of these issues!
"Bubba heard those hippie chicks still put out for guys who spout the right politics."
Also naive young college women who have been indoctrinated by our public schools and universities (apologies to any intelligent young college freeper women, but you are a rarity, esp. in the humanities). I'm betting Clinton is done and over with hippie chicks aka was Hitlary really used to be...
"Anybody here see my Legacy?"....
"No, not HILLARY, MY Legacy!"
What's Bill been inhaling? Please. Let's have a months' long discussion of the previous administration's brilliant diplomatic manuevers as a genocide slowly unfolded before our very eyes. With a sidebar on our reliance on the U.N. Hero of Rwanda, Kofi Annan, ordering the peacekeepers to stand down.
That should win a lot of votes.
Coming from Mr. Hot Air who's married to Mrs. Freeze!
In other news Clinton remarked "The French soccer team BLOWS!"
1)He is partly playing to the crowd.
2) He is sending a signal to the other dem candidates as to what direction they should take.
3) If they take the bait and run left, Hillary will cover the middle. As the left implodes, she gets a lock on the nomination.
With every passing day I become more convinced that Bill Clinton is really just a Republican mole -- planted in the Democratic Party to ensure that they look as silly as possible.
How else could one explain this idea that his recipe for Democratic success in November is to focus on the one freaking issue that hardly anyone cares about?
At least they have a stategy.
Clinton's character is "weak".
Oh please oh please oh please.
I *pray* they go for this as an issue.
It's so easy to slam dunk.
This a$$hole is bullsh*tting more now... than he did when he soiled the Oval Office. Where the hell is a disgruntled, office-seeker when you really need one?
thank you so much for posting this. Be sure and repost it on Election Night so we will be reminded of Bill Clinton's prediction.
The day after the election could be a lot of fun.
Somebody tell this pervert to shut up.
Two things: First, don't be an idiot and run when you said you weren't going to run. Second, don't trust Ross Perot.
If the Democrats pick this issue, I have no doubt that the Republicans will rise to the challenge of missing the slam dunk shot anyway.
Republicans will agree that human-induced global warming is a reality, and then will focus on competing with Democrats over how best to grandstand by claiming a solution (that will not work).
Talk about a weak strategy. Ask any pollster, no one votes on this issue -- no one.
