Alex Castellanos on CNN is saying Clinton won the election for Obama tonight if

Obama wins. It is obviously a GOP meme to make Clinton win and Obama lose relatively speaking. The GOP have nobody who they contrast Obama to and win so they've been using the Clintons to make Obama look lesser for the last 3 months.

Here is what he actually said: "This convention is done. This will be the moment that probably re-elected Barack Obama."

and he brilliantly countered every lie the GOPers threw out at their hatefest last week. I think Bill DID win the election for Obama.

But I can't say I mind having President Clinton help them along in the process.

Funny, though, that they can say that before the current President even speaks one word. PTB really hate the Clintons, they will now officially try to smear Obama with everything any democrat has ever done.

They got nuthin', bless their hearts.

Not to be taken seriously. I think he deliberately put an "aw shucks, we're done for!" spin on last night.
