Gingrich reflects fondly on negotiations with Clinton

Washington (CNN) – You know the debt ceiling debate has reached a new level of intensity when former House Speaker Newt Gingrich starts reminiscing about his 1995 government shutdown negotiations with former President Bill Clinton.

I don't think there's any comparison of the environment."

Democratic Rep. John Dingell of Michigan is a 28-term incumbent, but he’s in a tighter reelection battle than he’s seen in a while, hence the Clinton campaign stop.

“Michigan was good for me and I tried to be good for Michigan,” Clinton said. “John Dingell’s been good for you and he’s been good for you in the last year and a half, as he has in his entire career."

Clinton uses sports to get out the vote

(CNN) – Former President Bill Clinton's advice to voters in Maryland? Treat this election like a sports game.
