Bill Clinton moves on to another campaign battleground
(CNN) - Bill Clinton’s impact on his wife’s presidential campaign is still being hotly debated, with exit polls out of South Carolina suggesting that his presence on the trail may have been a net negative for Hillary Clinton at the polls.
But as votes are still being counted in South Carolina, the former president is already stumping for his wife in a Super Tuesday state.
This evening, he appeared at an event in Independence, Missouri. The state, which neighbors Barack Obama's home state of Illinois, is expected to be a major battleground on February 5.
Barack Obama has already been endorsed by two of Missouri’s most high-profile Democratic women – Sen. Claire McCaskill and former Sen. Jean Carnahan, the widow of highly popular Missouri Gov. Mel Carnahan.
The state's largest paper, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, has also endorsed Obama. In a Sunday editorial posted to the paper's Web site Saturday night, it pointed to what it called "Clinton fatigue."
The paper's editorial board also backed John McCain in Missouri's Republican primary vote.

Thanks to the Clintons!
They gave Obama the challenge that makes him the 2008 Dem nominee.
To nadeem: The Clinton concession speeches are far superior to what Obama did when he lost in Nevada. Many of us remember that he skipped town without thanking his supporters or congratulating Senator Clinton on her win. Your guy has no idea how to run a respectful campaign.
im suffering from "Clinton Fatigue"...that's right im sick and tired of dem Clintons...
Again I am appalled at what Hillary Clinton says. This morning on Face The Nation
when she was asked about the endorsement of Caroline Kennedy she replied
" endorsements mean nothing,it is the voters who makes the decision".My question ....is she stupid or what? All important movers and shakers of this country should take note....GIVE YOUR ENDORESMENTS TO SOMEONE WHO WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND INFLUENCE..... OBAMA......
By the way, I understand that Senator Edward Kennedy will endorse Senator Obama on Monday....OUCH! Hillary, and the two of you were so close.
From Ohio here so still have time to decide who Im going for..One thing I have noticed since watching the blogs and comments for several weeks now , is that some of the obama supporters are so hateful in their comments and resort to name calling..Why do they feel so superior that they must resort to such tactics..As for the candidates, there are qualified ones on both side of the aisles..I just know whom I am NOT going to vote for, as I do NOT want to support someone who has a NON-NEGOTIABLE commitment to another country..I am commited to AMERICA only!!
Go Bill!!!! Go Hillary!!!! All the Way!!!!
At least they made a concession speach. Obama didn't even bother to concedde in Nevada. Go Hillary, go Bill, go Edwards!!! Obama is a mirage who can speak well. Let's hear more about his 130 present votes. Who was he avoiding alienating. Wonder what he would do in a cuban missle crise with the nucs aimed at us. Vote present?
I would agree that Bill's statements help Obama, except for the fact that some people actually BELIEVE him. After all the lies and his being DISBARRED for lying. Incredible.
Im suffering from media bia and hypocrite obama fatigue
Bill Clinton;s is right on about Hillary and John McBORE. their matchup would put everyone to sleep.
Billary Clinton will not be back in the Oval office and if they are...god bless America...we will need it all over again.
Go Billary, all the way to the white house.
Dont be distracted by all those nonloyals who want to risk everything for a
science experment.
Bill please define "it" and then go home!
OBAMA save us!!!
