Seattle PI: "Have Clintons worn out welcome?"

Have Clintons worn out welcome?
By JOEL CONNELLY
P-I COLUMNIST

IN THE DAYS before the Bush restoration, office walls of several senior White House aides were decorated with a picture of Bill Clinton holding forth at a Pike Place Market rally.

The shot, by Seattle P-I photographer Grant Haller, was taken from behind Clinton and showed a mass of people extending all the way up the hill. For a president who loved adulation, the Market was nirvana.

As the Clinton restoration faces a key test here Saturday, however, the urgent message from local organizers this week was blunt: We want Hill; please don't send Bill.

After a conference call described as "intense" by one participant, the former president was dispatched to Maine and the former first lady headed West for a nighttime Seattle waterfront rally hours before a huge Barack Obama happening scheduled for Friday at KeyArena.

2. Hillary Negative Factor = 47%

The choice is clear to defeat the Vulture Republicans - nominate OBAMA! Put Hillary on the ticket and you will have at least half of the Republican males going to the pulls to defeat Hillary. WE MUST WIN THIS RACE - HILLARY IS NOT AN OPTION!!!!

5. This is a recurrent fantasy of Clintophobes. They think everyone suffers from their pathology.
