He's Back: Bill Clinton gives his wife's campaign new momentum

...As evidence of Mr. Clinton's impact, the campaign cites the Pennsylvania primary, which Sen. Clinton won by a margin of nearly 10 percentage points over Sen. Obama. Campaign data show that Sen. Clinton won by huge margins in several rural counties that her husband visited: 44 percentage points in Armstrong County, 44 points in Cambria County, 48 points in Carbon County and 50 points in Greene County. This compares with an edge of 26 points for Hillary among rural voters statewide. In Bucks County, a Philadelphia suburb that Mr. Clinton visited, Sen. Clinton won by 26 points, compared with only three points in suburban Philadelphia as a whole, according to the campaign data.

Mr. Clinton has been deeply involved in the campaign since the days after his wife's surprise third-place finish in the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses. With the Secret Service taking positions in and around campaign headquarters, he showed up for meetings, even bringing in bagels and chicken nuggets for the staff. He also brought in his own people, including former advisers Howard Paster and Steve Richetti and his foundation's chief of staff, Laura Graham.

Cheryl Mills, who had been Mr. Clinton's lawyer when he faced impeachment proceedings in Congress, suddenly took a much greater role in the Clinton campaign, where she had been the general counsel. She began arranging meetings for Mr. Clinton and presenting his point of view at staff meetings.

I also heard what you heard.

I suspect he was homosexual, and that drove his invective against Christendom and the Bible.
