Former President Bill Clinton raises money for Baldacci, party

By Clarke Canfield, Associated Press Writer | October 16, 2006

PORTLAND, Maine --Former President Bill Clinton raised an estimated $180,000 for Democrats on Monday while telling party supporters that Americans are growing more concerned about the leadership in Washington and where the country is headed.

Clinton told about 500 people at a fundraiser for Gov. John Baldacci's campaign that Baldacci represents what is right in politics today -- while the Republican administration in Washington represents what is wrong.

People across the country are feeling uneasy about what's going on in Washington, Clinton said.

"People know the wheels have run off," he said. "People know things are seriously awry."

Clinton's talk at the University of Southern Maine raised about $80,000 for Baldacci's campaign. He also appeared at a separate private fundraiser at USM that raised about $100,000 for the Maine Democratic Party.

It was Clinton's second visit to Maine this year to raise money for Democrats. In May, he spoke at two fundraisers and raised more than $200,000 before paying a private visit to Kennebunkport with former Republican President George H.W. Bush.


Plenty more, I am sure.
