Bill Clinton praised Sarah Palin Wednesday, saying he found the Alaska governor an appealing person and her and her family gutsy, spirited and real.
I think that she and her husband and their kids come across gutsy, spirited and real, he said in an interview to be broadcast Wednesday night. I have significant disagreements with her about any number of social and economic issues but I find her an appealing person and I think that its best to say that Senator McCain looks like he knew what he was doing. He picked somebody who gave him a lot of energy, a lot of support.

"Are you kind of feeling Jewish that you're waiting until after the Jewish holidays?" asked King. "No. But I think it would be if we're trying to win in Florida, it may be that you know, they think that because of who I am and where my political base has traditionally been, they may want me to go sort of hustle up what Lawton Chiles used to call the 'cracker vote' there.
"But Senator Obama also has a big stake in doing well in the Jewish community in Florida, where Hillary did very well and where I did very well. And I just think respecting the holidays is a good thing to do," he said.

"You didn't say what year, did you?""
Does he mean Hannukah?
Oy Gevalt!
Sounds to me like Bill Clinton is campaigning for Palin.
I hope Bubba was wearing a bib when he met the Governor.
Bill has never amused me so much as he has this election season.
Wow, now clinton was not only the first black president, but the first jewish one as well.
I think that for Bill the end of the Jewish Holidays is "Next Purim." For those of you who don't know, that's Jewish for endless procrastination.
Todd should keep an eye on Klintoon around not just his wife, but his daughters:

...”I’ll get up 1st thing November 5th and start campaining”
I think he said after Oct 9, Yom Kippur. Joe Lieberman should tell him what Purim is.
This election season has been the funniest and most exhilarating one I have ever experienced. You never know what’s coming next. One could write a seven volume set on the 2008 Presidential elections.
i think he’s more concerned about Obama 08 which would be a total disaster, than think 4 years ahead.
I’ll stump for Obama
After I organize my sock drawer.
Next Clinton will be saying he’ll campaign for Obama after the Thanksgiving holidays. ;^D
I know! I could enjoy it a heckuva lot more though if the future of our country didn’t hang in the balance, LOL!
Any Jew who votes for Obama deserves to be buried underneath a pig farm.
I’m Jewish and Jewish liberals make me sick. They give a free pass to Black antisemites. Black people could burn down an entire Jewish neighborhood, and Jewish liberals would say “some dumb Jew must’ve said something to make those poor oppressed dears really mad, it’s our fault not theirs”.
Jewish liberals represent the majority of Jews. The Jews who danced around the golden calf were also the majority. So were the Jews who marched passively to their death during the Holocaust, believing right to the end that “the Germans weren’t that bad”.
Most Jews simply don’t know what’s good for them or who their real friends are.

Bill Clinton says he was sent by Obama to secure the “Cracker Vote”.
You know, they think that because of who I am and where my politic[al] base has traditionally been, they may want me to go sort of hustle up what Lawton Chiles used to call the cracker vote there.
