Bill Clinton coming to Camden County
By Matt Friedman, PolitickerNJ.com ReporterFormer President Bill Clinton will appear in South Jersey tomorrow to campaign for his wife.
Clinton will attend a rally at the Papiano Gymnasium at Camden County College in Blackwood. The rally is scheduled from 10:15am to 12:15pm
The campaign stop comes less than a week Hillary Clinton attended two rallies and a fundraiser in northern New Jersey last week, and two and a half months after Bill Clinton headlined a fundraiser in New Brunswick.
The rally also comes at an interesting time, as the Clinton campaign -- concerned that Bill Clinton's recent aggressive role in his wife's campaign may have hurt her showing in South Carolina -- is reportedly reevaluating what role he should play.
Republican presidential candidate John McCain also plans to attend a rally in New Jersey next Monday.
In New Jersey, a Quinnipiac poll puts Clinton 17 points ahead of her nearest rival, Barack Obama,

Quote of the Day
“For a guy who’s got nothing but adoring press for seven years, and is unknown to 70 percent of the public, it’s not easy to win if you’re a single-issue candidate. Our feeling is, bring him on.” -- Democratic State Chairman Joseph Cryan, on Republican Chris Christie, who is resigning as U.S. Attorney to run for Governor.

Bill Clinton coming to Camden County
One would think that if Hillary Clinton really has NJ all sewn up, that there would be no need for President Clinton to come here.
The most accurate poll, the Quinnipiac poll, had her leading Obama in the first week of December [Quinnipiac 12/05 - 12/09] by 51-17 --by a commanding 34 points. However, in the latest Quinnipiac poll conducted 1/15-1/22, Obama has cut that lead to just 49-32, just a 17 points difference ---and this was before his huge win in SC. Also note that Mrs. Clinton has fallen below the 50% mark for the first time.
Obama definately has the momentum in NJ. Hillary may still win the state, but Obama will ride a wave of support in the state from this point on through the Denver Convention.
She's gonna win Jersey
She's gonna keep Jersey solid, but is is a fight for delegates and Bill Clinton is popular everywhere. Hillary is going to campaign in more competative states. It is a good strategy.
Clinton popular?
After this weekend, I bet Hillary reigns in her Commander-in-Chief a bit. If one thing was demonstrated, it ws that as much as some people like Bill, other people hate his divisive style of politics, which could ultimately backfire running against someone like Obama.
Will NJ be next So. Carolina???
After Bill lived in So. Carolina for the past week and managed to set off a race war within the Democratic Party there by attacking the most credible candidate in the Democratic field (either black or white), we can only hope he'll do the same here. Every time he shows up somewhere, all it does is remind people that (1) Hillary is no Bill and (2) Obama is the Bill Clinton in this campaign. Mark my words, the racial divide in the Democratic Party is growing right now and it will haunt them forever.
OBAMA
Obama is going to have to slay miss.Clinton if he's going to set the rank anf file democrats who are waiting for the standard bairer.but the kennedy endorsement might help him with the rank and file LIBERAL base.
You better
Lock up the interns!

Is Bill going to cruise the Jersey rest-stops with Governor McGreevey afterwards?
I wonder if he is going to thank Norcross for the warm welcome.

Who Cares?
Bill Clinton and Bill Clinton alone is personally responsible for the surge in the Obama candidacy.
Does anyone really think Camden voters are motivated for Hillary?
Today's Kennedy endorsement is huge.
Obama will win NJ.
Run, run he is coming.
It's a good sign for Obama. Definitely, keep Bill on the run.
