Hillary Clinton: Bill advises me whenever he can

November 9, 2007

Democrat Hillary Clinton said today her husband, former President Bill Clinton, “counsels and advises me every day that he can,” in between the demands of his own schedule.

A reporter asked her this morning if Bill Clinton’s comments were “a distraction” to her campaign. On the campaign trail Thursday in Onawa, he quipped that he and his wife are “artifacts.”

"Hillary and I, maybe we're just artifacts," he said. "Sometimes I hear some of these candidates talking, it's like they make me feel like a mummy. I'm only 61. I don't feel like I’ve got a leg in the grave yet."

He went on to say that Hillary Clinton shares his belief that all that matters when your career is over is whether people are better off “when you’ve stopped your labors” than when you started.

This morning, Hillary Clinton answered the question by saying: “I’m thrilled to have his support and look forward to being able to call on him in every capacity I can imagine.”

Hillary Clinton said she is bringing the leader of a key swing state with her to this Saturday’s Jefferson Jackson Dinner in Des Moines.

Clinton wants Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, who endorsed her today, to experience “one of the great political events that we have in America,” she told reporters on a conference call announcing the endorsement this morning.

She said she wants Strickland to see “9,000 active Democrats being whipped up to get ready for the caucuses on Jan. 3.”

The dinner, sponsored by the Iowa Democratic Party, is sold out.

Clinton pointed out that Strickland is a popular in Ohio. His approval rating was 69 percent during an Ohio Poll in May. Among Democratic voters, 75 percent like the governor's performance; 65 percent of Republican voters agreed.

Strickland said “these are very serious times for our nation,” and Clinton has the best understanding of the problems and is the best prepared to lead.

“The road to the White House goes through Ohio,” Clinton said, adding that she’s proud to have Strickland traveling that road with her.
