The Clinton’s are now campaigning in Iowa. Things are not always running smoothly, as Mr. Clinton causes some divided emotions. At the one hand, Bill plays an increasingly important role in his wife’s campaign, or so it seems, while at the other hand he is attracting a lot of attention to himself, something that some say could harm the campaign of Hillary Clinton.

Advisors of the Clintons say that Bill Clinton’s presence in Hillary’s campaign has grown because of several reasons: the first is that Bill believes that winning or losing in Iowa is crucial to the rest of the bid for presidency and that the New Hampshire primary is a determining factor in this. The second is that Bill has become quite competitive and is anxious to succeed.

Bill Clinton is not very keen on a certain kind of publicity, expecially publicity in which Barack Obama is being portrayed as the one that will bring change in the American political arena while the rest of the Democratic candidates- including Hillary- are being portrayed as the older generation of Democrats.

Last week Bill Clinton prepared a speech on behalf of his wife in which the word “change” was strikinlgy apparent. Whether this will do Hillary any good, however, is not certain, since Bill, in that same speech, also stated that he was against the war in Iraq from the beginning, a statement that is more than contested.

Some sources say that Bill Clinton’s approach to Hillary’s campaign might not be the most effective one. Although Bill is a very strong element in Hillary’s bid for the presidency, he might also become too strong, something that strategists have been warning him for from the beginning.
