McCain Goes Negative, Now More Than Ever We Need Bill Clinton

Submitted by anniefey on August 1, 2008 - 7:44pm.

McCain has gone negative.  He's gone over to the dark side, using the very fear-and-smear playbook that was used against him in 2000 by Karl Rove.
 
The GOP has used this playbook to defeat Governor Dukakis, Vice President Gore, Senator Kerry, and now they're targeting Senator Obama.
 
The ONLY Democrat to withstand the GOP slime juggernaut -- to come out on top, victorious -- was Bill Clinton.  He is the only Democrat to successfully run that gauntlet, and his wisdom is needed now more than ever.

"You could argue that no one's ever ready to be president."

-- Bill Clinton, in an interview with ABC News, when asked if Sen. Barack Obama has the necessary experience to be president.

This is not what I had in mind when I said we need Bill Clinton.
 
I understand President Clinton is still upset about Sen. Clinton not getting the nomination. But does he fail to see the bigger picture, what's on the line in this election? 
 
Showing such ambivalence is detrimental to our efforts.
 
President Clinton, there is too much at stake for you to sit this election out. Worse, damning the nominee with faint praise.
 
Someone needs to broker a peace between President Clinton and Obama.  And then President Clinton needs to get on board.
 
The fierce urgency of now demands it.
