Clinton spoke first. That means there were SOME people who were there to see Clinton - no surprise. The fact is that the crowd was gigantic and at least from the shots on TV was still huge and enthusiastic after Clinton spoke. If I remember right - Clinton spoke for maybe 5 or 10 minutes, he was clearly not fully back physically and was a pale version of himself. Kerry, following him, actually seemed more dynamic that Clinton was.

The fact is Bill Clinton did not make a good case for Dukakis, for Gore or for Kerry. Both the Kerry and Gore speech were at least 75% justification of the Clinton years. It is interesting that his speeches for HRC aren't much better. It may make me think that it was just the way he is.
