Is Bill Clinton still campaigning regularly for President Obama?

I hope he is hitting OH and VA non-stop....

President Obama is in very good shape in Ohio and we need to get that insurance TD, we have the lead AND first and goal on the 1 yard line...Obama has a bigger lead there than he did at this point in 2008...

with the demographic change
with women
with all the college kids

soon it will be fact, but in 2012 it could happen had the 50 state strategy been in place

and once Texas turns, that is every major electoral state that can blue forever

There is not much advertising in the NY/NJ area as it is not contested, but last week in DC(where VA is right next door) I saw many ads with Bill Clinton in them.

Let's be realistic.

In fact, Obama's numbers seem to have gone DOWN in Texas over the course of the year. He's behind Romney by 19 points in a TX poll today.

Bill's time is valuable and he should only go places where it is close.

What I want Bill to do most is go to ARIZONA and help CARMONA. Bill Clinton WON Arizona in 1996, and he may be the only person who can help push Carmona over the finish line.
