Clinton's role crucial at Democratic convention

by Stephen Collinson 50 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) ..............

Signs of simmering discontent among Clinton's loyal army of voters, came with the general election race narrowing significantly in key battleground states like Ohio and Pennsyvlania, which both McCain and Obama need to win in November.

The former first lady, firing off an outspoken populist economic message, trounced Obama in primary votes in both states, and pointedly raised doubts about his appeal to conservative white, working class Democrats.
...............

Former president Bill Clinton, who has had a testy relationship with the Obama campaign, is meanwhile due to give his own speech on Wednesday.

In a bid to soothe simmering anger among Clinton's fiercely partisan supporters, the Obama campaign also agreed this month to put Clinton's name to a symbolic roll-call vote at the convention.
