Not a Big Truck

He has a chance to bring the house down tonight.  He had some bumpy moments during the campaign and word has it he is still angry with the Obama campaign.  He could give a bland speech talking about unity and defending his record.

Or he could really go for it, skewer McCain, prop up the party, praise Obama, and use his natural political talents to express the empathy that Senator Obama struggles to demonstrate.  Pointing out how Obama’s policies will directly address the pain that people are feeling could go a long way to firing up the base and bringing home working-class Democrats. Bill Clinton, especially in light of Hillary’s speech last night, could use his speech as a way to change the narrative.  This primary was seen as Obama overcoming the Clinton dynasty.  With solid support, with the Clintons positioning themselves as Obama’s strongest backers, they could transform from the defeated to those who pass the torch.  Not to mention, such strong support would position the Clintons well for their future in Democratic politics.

We will see how it goes.

Here are a couple of Bill moments, expressing his empathy in the debate and showing some fire dealing with a heckler in the other.
