Bill Clinton Visits ASU

Bill gets out the vote! Are you sure Bill can't run again?

Former president Bill Clinton brought his Democratic star power to Arizona State University Thursday, telling an estimated 5,000 students that their future depends on running Republicans out of office next Tuesday. Priscilla and I had seen him on his way through here in 1996, but got much closer this time. Clinton stopped in Tempe to stump for congressional candidates Jim Pederson and Harry Mitchell, stoking the momentum that has seen Democrats move dead even or ahead of longtime GOP incumbents in polls across the country. At one point Clinton moved the often rowdy crowd to silence. “Listen to how quiet it is. The sound of silence can be found everywhere in America,” he said, “because we know there is something fundamentally amiss in the rhythm of our shared life as Americans.”

Priscilla pushed her way to the front of the mob and shook his hand. Like many of the other women there, she shrieked in his face--what can I say, I didn't marry her for her sense of dignity. I finally made her wash her hand. It was one of the biggest thrills of her life--one of the highlights of her undergrad. years was working on his '92 campaign.
