The former president follows a hugely successful appearance last weekend by Barack Obama. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer said Obama "worked the shrieking, whistling crowd like a rock star." Bill Clinton is becoming an increasingly visible advocate for his wife's campaign. Will anyone be surprised if he, too, works the room like a rock star?
