Bill Clinton, who carried Nevada in two general elections, urged voters Tuesday to buck labor endorsements for Sen. Barack Obama and support his wife in Saturday's hotly contested presidential caucuses as the only Democratic candidate with the experience necessary to change the country.

The former president trumpeted New York Sen. Hillary Clinton's accomplishments while painting Obama as the "establishment" candidate who would bring only the "feeling of change."

"One candidate says you should vote for me because I've not been involved at all in the struggles of the past and therefore we need to turn over a new leaf and (try) something absolutely new. And if you want the feeling of change, then that is the person you should support," Clinton said in a 75-minute speech to about 300 people in a YMCA gymnasium.

I used to think the Hillary haters were insane, now at least I understand them. I used to worry that Hillary couldn't win in a general election, now I'm scared she could win. Seriously folks, it would not be a good thing for this country. Even if you like Hillary, you have to agree that she brings some major problems with her. I for one am tired of all the drama.

I think deep down inside Bill wants Hillary to lose. He's not dumb, but he's really been saying some dumb things lately.

It is astounding.. it seems that the name CLINTON is inserted as RED MEAT in headlines on the HUFFINGTON POST to trigger PAVLOVIAN RESPONSES from its readers.

COGITO, ERGO SUM.

So Hillary is for change, yet has all the experience and much money from the establishment. Bill is best buds with Bush, Sr. Both Clintons look the other way (until caught) while proxies make racial insinuations. Charge them with any accusations and they go into outrage and denials! Disagree with her voting record and you are immediately labeled a "Hillary-hater." This is like, vote for Hillary"or prepare to have your character smeared!!!!!!! What poison, and I so wish they would stop it and cut the passive-aggressive schoolyard bully behavior. It's sneaky and unhealthy.

As a lifelong Democrat (and yes I also voted for Bill twice), I have lost ALL respect for both of the Clintons. These double-talking, corrupt, power-hungry two are a disgusting thing to witness and the longer this fiasco goes on, the worse it gets! I have tried to be as fair and neutral as possible to all of the contenders, but this recent outburst of Bill's seals the deal for me! I have hereby eliminated Hillary as a possible choice in the SC primary.

The Clintonistas must either think we are all stupid or be in a state of panic. I'll bet it is the latter

Nice try, Bill. You're losing your credibility.

I used to like and even respect this guy in spite of all the shenanigans, but this is truly Rovian stand-the world-on-its-head 'logic'. Is there anything he won't say or do to get Hillary elected? I'm beginning to think the answer is no.

When it comes to Bill Clinton - Obama must sit at the feet of the master.

I think Bill has got this one right, on Obama establishment is right. Obama wants to be like Reagan, that's as establishment as you can get.
Ugh, God forbid this guy becomes President.

Bill has never seen a lie that"s too ridiculous to tell.

My question is why is Hil-dog even allows Bill to campaign for her in the first place. Every time this guy so much as parts his dentures, her percentage numbers drop deeper down the drain, while Obama"s popularity starts scraping the base of the stratosphere.

Not that I"m complaining, of course. (Queue evil laughter)

Do any of you even read the articles or does it say 'blah blah blah blah Clinton blah blah blah'...?

because 90% of the crap here is just stale talking points from the Clinton-haters...

I am worried about Bill Clinton. He seems to be delusional now. I hope his health care is better than ours - he needs help!

For all the good Bill Clinton did as our President, he has completely lost credibility by proving to be a serial liar. I am completely flabbergasted that Bill Clinton could possibly claim Obama is the Establishment candidate, with the clear implication that Hillary is the agent of change from outside the beltway. This is a lie in word and spirit, and Bill should be ashamed of himself. Unfortunately, he has demonstrated that shame is not part of his persona. Really, really sad...........

Bill:

"I was against the war from the beginning"

"I didn't have sexual relations w/that woman"

"I didn't inhale"

If the good people of Nevada actually listen to what the three Democrat candidates are saying and look at what they have done in the past, they will see that Hillary is the establishment candidate and that the real candidate for change is John Edwards. Edwards has laid out specific plans that go way beyond anything Obama has even thought of. All three say they don't want to dump nuclear waste in Nevada, but Edwards actually opposes nuclear power and has a sound energy policy that actively promotes development of the alternative energies our country needs.

The Hillary campaign would do better without Bill. Why does he stay engaged in this? The jackass is going to do her in, althouth I can't say that it will hurt my feelings.

Bill has spent way, way too much time hanging out with the Bush family. His brain is literally stuck in bizarro world, where he's somehow not a part of the establishment, and that you can be inexperienced at the federal level AND be an establishment candidate.

Oh wait, this is the Clinton campaign tactic...say something that makes no sense and may even contradict things you've already said over and over, and hope that something sticks with people. That's also referred to as brainwashing, by the way. That's usually the tactic most used by the establishment to maintain the status quo...and the person that went into this election thinking she was the inevitable winner, and that all other candidates should bow and scrape to her, was Hillary. Not anyone else.

Clinton simply has no credibility now.

Remember, Bill Clinton CAMPAIGNED FOR neocon Joe Lieberman in 2006. Ned Lamont, a good progressive, was the Democratic nominee. That's right: Bill Clinton CAMPAIGNED AGAINST the Democratic nominee.

To make things even more weird, Hillary was supporting Mr. Lamont. So in that election, Bill and Hillary were working at cross-purposes. Is this what America can expect if Hillary is elected to the White House? Will Bill be running around, trying to undo all the things Hillary is trying to get done?

I think they're both nuts, and too power-hungry.
