FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:

Of all the differences between Barack Obama and John McCain, here’s one that could really make a difference down the home stretch: One has a president to help him and the other one does not. And at first glance, it’s not what you might think.

After his appearance with Barack Obama tonight at a rally in Kissimmee, Florida, former president Bill Clinton plans to criss-cross the country on behalf of Obama in the closing days of the campaign. Tonight will mark President Clinton’s first joint appearance with Obama on the campaign trail. Despite his lukewarm support at first,President Clinton as well as Hillary Clinton will campaign hard in the next few days to help Obama try to close the deal.

But what about John McCain? He has a sitting president in his party. President Bush has been dubbed “the invisible man” when it comes to campaigning for his dear friend and fellow Republican, John McCain.

Here’s my question to you: President Clinton is campaigning for Barack Obama. Why isn’t President Bush campaigning for John McCain?

1. Because we've got the best of all possible scenarios.

John "the Maverick" hates his republican colleagues, and they in turn hate him.

So they all lose.

3. On the other hand, we all win.

2. Who needs Bush when you have Palin and Joe the Plumber? nt

4. Remember, Bush is the guy who treated John, after he won the nomination, to... wait for it

HOTDOGS!



McCain is lower than shit, to him.

13. That might have been just for Bush. Really.

Remember, this is man who, when hosting a dinner for Saudi royalty at "The Ranch," served:

Steaks, beans-n-fixins, and hot fudge brownies with ice cream. Which is a great menu choice, for an 11-year-old boy's birthday party.

5. 4 words. They . don't . want . him.

Dear friend, my ass.

6. Bush is taking off early Friday and spending the whole weekend secluded at Camp David

Always doing his part for the party.

7. 66% vs. 27%. (NBC/WSJ) - nt.

8. Cafferty is an idiot

I wonder if he remembers Bill campaigning for Gore in 2000, oh wait, didn't happen.

[CJCRANE]

12. I think Cafferty knows the answer already.

But it's more fun getting other people to say it.

[Idealism]

9. Because

Apparently McCain still does, despite what I believe, want to win this race. Thats why Bush won't be allowed outside of his bomb shelter (or Cheney for that matter).

10. Uh, for the same reason ...

that you don't want a French Kiss from an Italian Godfather ?

11. Bwahahahahahahahaha

That would be great - Mr. Hated stumping for Mr. Hopeless.

14. McCain wants to distance himself from *

15. Mr. 25% would sink him like a rock
