Bubba to the rescue!

Alarmed by his wife's slide in the polls and disarray within her backbiting campaign, a beside-himself Bill Clinton has leaped atop the barricades and is furiously plotting a cure - or coup.

...

Sources familiar with the ex-President's thinking say he doesn't believe his wife's situation is desperate. But he's unhappy with her operation - once hailed as a juggernaut - and concerned she could lose the Democratic nomination without major alterations in strategy and staffing.

...

Another Democrat with close connections to the Clinton campaign describes Bill Clinton as "very engaged and very agitated. He's yelling at [chief strategist] Mark Penn a lot."

...

Campaign officials and a source close to both Clintons flatly denied the head-rolling buzz. "Can this change by the end of the week? Yes," the source said. "But at this point, everyone's on solid footing."

Another Hillary Clinton operative told The News, "Nothing will happen until after Iowa," referring to the Jan. 3 Hawkeye State caucuses. The candidate last night rejected the scuttlebutt.

"These stories are false. I have the best staff in the country, and I have total and complete confidence in them," she said.

Campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle is the biggest target, sources said. She recently took over personal command of the Iowa operation, and a Clinton defeat there could damage her future.

...

... friction inside her headquarters has flared. One post-Thanksgiving meeting erupted into finger-pointing over the loss of her advantage.

"They all want to kill each other," said a source aware of the closed-door meeting.

The backstabbing involves several high-level people in the campaign, including Penn, Mandy Grunwald, Ann Lewis and Howard Wolfson, sources said.

It disgusts me that people in this country are on the brink of electing someone President on the credentials of her husband.

I know this off the topic but I saw him on barbara walters special last week and holy ####### he looks so old now!

By your thinking, we already elected someone based on the credentials of their father... is this really so different?

I'm not a fan of Hillary, but credential-wise, she stacks up to any of the other front runners.

Not really. In fact, her stances are quite contrary to the ideology of the people supporting her.

By my thinking you should look at a poll of Hillary supporters. More people listed Bill as a reason for supporting her than people who listed her credentials.

It's more like a 2 for 1 deal.

Her stance on issues for the most part are what I like about her. That part of her resonates well with many Americans. She has a persona issue with the public, whether it's partially imagined or all real that is something she has to overcome...and she represents the same 'ol, same 'ol to a lot of voters. If she were elected President, I think a lot of people who had aprehensions about her will warm over to her eventually.

I guess I should have said actions rather than stance, because they're quite different with politicians. Quite frankly, I doubt I will ever vote for a major party candidate again. They're just the left and right hands of the same demon squeezing the life out of america.

For the THIRD time....it is an even split, as to why they are supporting her - and in ONE POLL. But honestly - if he is working for her, all the more power to her. It's certainly not hurting her campaign like many would like you to believe!

Meanwhile, rival Hillary Clinton's biggest celebrity endorser — her husband Bill Clinton — is likely to have more of an impact. The poll suggests 44 percent of Democrats are more likely to support the New York senator because of her famous husband, while only 7 percent are less likely to do so.

In fact, the former president is such a campaign asset that according to the poll, roughly as many Democrats are supporting the New York senator because of her husband as are supporting her because of her experience. 26 percent of Hillary Clinton's supporters name Bill Clinton as the top reason they are backing her, while 23 percent say her own experience is the biggest factor.

Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has been sworn in as president of Argentina, six weeks after her convincing win in October's election. She took over the presidential sash from the outgoing president - her husband, Nestor Kirchner.

That's not even.

Yeah? So what? I'm certain I was talking about America here. I don't know how Argentina found its way into the discussion.
