Related: About this forumGood news from Dr. Richard Carmona! Bill Clinton is coming to AZ!
I've been pestering the Carmona campaign for weeks with suggestions to get Bill to come to AZ to campaign for him since Bill won AZ in 1996, and I wasn't the only one.
Now it is happening!!!

(9,249 posts)This is very exciting news! I got the email today from his campaign. I don't think I can get up there on the 10th... I wish there was more notice so I could change a few things around.
Oh well, I'm sure it will be great for everyone that goes. It will be interesting to see the local news coverage and watch the polls afterwards. Hope his numbers go up, up, UP.
Bill Clinton is probably one of the only Democrats who can close the deal in a red-leaning state like Arizona right now. He has the cross-over appeal with Independents, and he won AZ in 1996 - something no other Democrat has done since Truman in 1948.

(10,716 posts)Now that we're closing in on Election Day, it's a good time to hit those close senate/congressional races with a big name and eloquent voice. We really need MT, NV, IN, WI, MA and ND. There hasn't been a poll in the ND senate race since July. I feel sure Heitkamp is pulling ahead of Berg.
