"painting Obama as the 'establishment' candidate"

And this was attempted because there are plenty of Democratic voters who believe it!

"Bill Clinton’s role in the campaign is something of a first. Usually a relative or former President let’s his/her preferences be known if someone close to them is running. But Bill Clinton is basically running as if he’s running for his own third term or as if he’s a Vice President candidate acting as dart-tongued “surrogate.'"

I actually wouldn't expect anything less from a former President whose spouse is now running. Since they are married I would expect to see them support each other. Whatever one's feelings are about Bill, if she's elected you get them both. A marriage is a partnership and it's great that Bill is on the campaign trail with her.

It's actually a good strategy because they can cover twice the territory than the other candidates. Even though candidates' spouses campaign now it's not the same as an ex-President campaigning simply because everyone else is virtually unknown, by comparison.
