You're bagging on the guy who's been out of the White House for 8 years, yet Republicans sure aren't cheering about any Bush legacy. Will GWB be showing up as a special guest at the next Republican convention in '12 like Reagan did in '92? I'm not counting it. Conservatives might want to be a bit more concerned on the fading appeal of the Republican party than a supposed fading appeal of the man who, as the last 2-term democratic president, is still more popular (and will most likely remain so) than the most recent 2-term Republican president. 2: Very correct.

He came off badly and seemed to sulk around like the sore loser, even though he wasn't running. I mean I laughed at how obvious it was that he was unhappy Obama won the primary and seemed to subtle say things that supported McCain. If he had solidered up and went with the program, he might have gotten some kind of post in the administration or gotten some job. Every star fades after awhile, Clinton was the brightest star of the Democratic universe for a decade and its ended. I think the test of whether he still has any real electoral power might be with this Virginia primary. He is backing and campaigning for McAuliffe, and if Mcauliffe is unable to win it might be another indictment of Clinton's power loss. Hillary Clinton's presidency would have been the last attempt to revive his fading influence, and probably would have. That is probably why he took it so personally when she lost and unable to accept it. Clinton Democratic dogma has been ended and Obama's is now in place, its probably hard to deal with...to go from the King to the pauper.

A Democratic ex-President is drawing small crowds at political rallies a year and a half ahead of an election - so what? It wasn't so long ago that a <i>sitting</i> Republican President couldn't campaign for his party in a Presidential election year because nobody likes him and his record is a flaming train wreck.
