CANTON, Ohio -- A fiery former President Bill Clinton rallied the Democratic faithful in Ohio on Saturday, where several of the party's incumbents face long odds Tuesday.

Clinton rallied with Gov. Ted Strickland and freshman Rep. John Boccieri in Canton, while House Minority Leader John Boehner headlined an event less than two miles away for Boccieri's Republican opponent, Jim Renacci.

Clinton assailed Republican claims about Democratic economic policies as "fact-free," calling this year's midterm elections, "the most fact-free environment I've ever been in."

The former president launched an impassioned defense of the Democratic agenda in Washington over the past two years, highlighting healthcare, Wall Street reform and the stimulus, telling voters the country is on the road to recovery under Democratic control.

"We are coming back. You do not want to put us at risk," Clinton warned. "You gave {Republicans} 8 years to dig the hole. Now give us four years to prove we can take you where America needs to go."

and then expecting to get the impossible score on the final to save the GPA (something that I'd do). We should have been a little harder core about getting what we wanted these past two years to avoid this panic mode mentality.
