Hillary Plays Second Fiddle to Bill in Iowa

Speaking of Mrs. Clinton: While she dispensed hand-shakes and hugs and chatted up Iowans herself, there were a couple of times when she stood by herself waiting for her husband to stop chatting up the crowd. Even Mr. Johnson had a moment where he stood alone watching the former president work his magic on the crowd.

“She has the experience, which is the key,” he said.

Asked why he wasn’t supporting a fellow African-American, Barack Obama, for the Democratic nomination, Mr. Johnson dead-panned about Mrs. Clinton, “Only 30 years of experience right here.”

"Well, the first thing she intends to do, because you can do this without passing a bill, the first thing she intends to do is to send me and former President Bush and a number of other people around the world to tell them that America is open for business and cooperation again," Clinton said in response to a question from a supporter about what his wife's "number one priority" would be as president.

Bill Clinton: He's a 1992 media-loves-me-and-doesn't-check-my-facts kind of guy in a 2007-2008 world.
