**EXCERPT**
SILVER SPRING, Md. — After losing two caucuses and a primary to Senator Barack Obama Saturday, Senator Hillary Clinton’s campaign seemed like it might need a prayer. Or two. And so Bill Clinton started off his day of Potomac Primary campaigning with a stop at the Temple of Praise, an African-American church in Washington, DC.
Then he attended services — again — at another church: The Greater Mt. Nebo African Methodist Episcopal Church in Bowie, Maryland.
Throughout his five stops Sunday — one in the district and four just outside the Beltway in Maryland — former president Clinton struck a measured, almost conciliatory, tone while campaigning for his wife, never mentioning her Democratic rival by name and referring to Mr. Obama only once, in a cursory aside at his final campaign stop.
“I have loved this election because I didn’t have to be against anyone,” Mr. Clinton said. “I like all the people. I even like the people who aren’t running anymore.” (Presumably even more, now that they’re no longer competing with his wife).

OMG. Does Barry Lynn know about this?
So Bill... trolling for chicks in the church?
AME church in Bowie? Boy, the neighborhood’s changed.
Thank heaven Bill’s back and taking an active role in Hillary’s campaign! I’m really hoping for a Clinton II administration because they’d be SO much better than McCain!!!
Walkin’ around money - walkin’ around money.
Oops, messed up that post and the hyperlink.
Wanted to add that there is a vast difference in the text of Clinton’s speech and in Huckabee’s, however. Huckabee spoke more briefly, and mostly about God, and mostly in generalities. The word “vote” wasn’t in there (although I’m sure Huck was hoping to pick up some votes). But Clinton’s speech was an extremely blatant “vote for my wife” plea and nothing more.
God is so very patient, but one day BJ Clinton is going to play the heretic 1 too many times and he’s going to get struck down where he stands. It’s appalling that such a narcissist gets away with standing up in church and spouting lies.
I predicted from the beginning that Bill Clinton would be the Kiss of Death to Hillary’s Campaign and that is just what has happened in the last 6 weeks.
With a handful of exceptions almost anyone and everyone Bill Clinton has campaigned for since 1992 has lost.
Hillary now is experiencing it. Bill Clinton’s mouth and colossal screwup in South Carolina have put the once inevitable nomination of Hillary in serious trouble if not now out of reach by a real lightweight like Obama.
Give Obama real credit he has taken the mis-steps and his fresh face and message of change and run with it. Maybe all the way to the nomination and the White House. But who of any of us thought Obama would last this long and be the one in the Cats Bird Seat at this point.
Almost feel sorry for Hillary. But the chips are falling and where they land is what it is.
5 pound Bible.
How much “walkin’ around money” did the Clintons have to pay the ministers to let Bill speak at their churches?
Clinton to worshippers, “hurry up and pass the plate around I’ve got other donations to collect!!!”
I don’t understand why they don’t write their own checks. The Clintoons are worth north of $40 million.
Huckabee
bubba can kiss everybodys arse but mine
Hasn’t billy boy been the “kiss of death” to everyone he’s campaigned for?
1. Why only African American churches?
2. Agreed, why are none of these churches having the tax status questioned?
The pervert is out trolling in the black churches with his big black Bible again. What a pathetic loser.
Why must Candidates rent a hall from City Hall, or a School District, unless that candidate is trying for “System Votes”?
