DENVER (CNN) - Hillary Clinton will be on hand for Barack Obama's acceptance speech, but according to a source close to former President Bill Clinton, he will not: the source tells CNN that Clinton will not join his wife at Invesco Field Thursday night.

No lost. What a fool. I don't care for Hillary but even she doesn't deserve this jerk. She is the one that lost, not him. If she can show good faith and fain party unity, he can at least sit in his chair and be a good boy! Devorce this sticky wicket.
I think given how badly Bill Clinton was treated. Calling him
a racist. He should not attend. He deserves an apology
from Obama and his campaign. The only one pulling the race
card is Obama. Bush censored us Obama does the same.
Jesse Jackson is a long time friend of Bill Clintons.
Obama's campaign was vicious Bill Clinton has every
reason to be offended and to NOT attend.
Bill will be busy tending to his secret mistress.
SAD. . .
OBAMA/BIDEN '08-'12
According to the latest gallup poll McCain is up 2 points nationally since Obama picked Biden and not Hillary.
Why would Bill want to go see a loser?
vote for mc caine so we can see the clinton in 2012
Smart man, he may put his foot in his mouth. let's just make it past wednseday
Normally, I would think the former President is being silly about the whole thing. But, let's face it. These camps don't like each other too much.
I am glad Bill is not playing phony baloney like most politicians do.
I would never do it, and I don't particularly like or trust people who do.
People say "Watch your back with Bill!"
But that doesnt seem to be necessary. Bill is pretty comfortable being Bill, and in the political realm, that is a change I can believe in!
He is acting like a child. Who needs him anyway? When will the Clintons give it up and just go away?
I don't think there's enough room even in Invesco for all the Obama supporters AND Bill Clintons ego.
Pout away Bill, it's not your party any more, and NO it's NOT all about you. You and your childishness will not be missed.
I hear he has a hot date with a Broncos cheerleader...why not, eh?
Bill is trying to re live his presidential years and can't stand it that he won't be there in the White House again with his wife. What a pity that he has come to this. Time to move on Bill
Obama is getting the treatment he so richly deserves.
Maybe Bill can leave the Democratic Party and start the Clintonic Party!
Is Bill even in town?
Bill doesn't hang out with Hillary much anymore. It's not really news.
Clintons are getting way too much air time as it is and the Obama campaign is showing weakness trying to accommodate them. Wonder how that translates to dealing with leaders around the world, friend or foe.
Good Bill does not need to be there, who cares? Obama 08,12
why is this news CNN? Are there not more important things in this world to concern ourselves with? Once this election is over in November, I certainly hope CNN goes belly up.........that includes all their idiot reporters.
NO big deal. Hillary was the candidate and she will be there. Yawn at CNN for trying to keep the drama going.
Who cares...Bill Clinton's days off being the top dog are over. It's a new dawn and new day. Clinton lovers...build a rocket to Mars.
I would not look too much into this. The Secret Service is going to have their hands full with Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton being there already.
Clinton knows the Conventions are a party, a hype, and won't last.
DNC sounds so ignorant and ambiguous.

This isn't all about the clintons...my goodness. I love bill clinton – I casted my first vote ever for Clinton.
When will people wake up and realize that we are on the same team? Nobody is trying to quiet the voices of the 18 millions Hillary votes. Obviously, you all are recognized for the long hard fought primary season. Okay – you have an opinion about BO. Let's agree to disagree. But if you think by voting for McCain will offer you better options, then you really need to wake-up.
I truely believe that Bill Clinton doesn't want Barack Obama to win.
