Clinton inspires on Kerry’s behalf

/ 25 October 2004

You’ve probably seen the news by now, that Bill Clinton returned to the campaign trail today on Kerry’s behalf. I was particularly inspired by these words of his:

In the closing days of this campaign, John Kerry is going on being John Kerry -- talking about his hopes for America; his plans for America; his commitment to our security and our prosperity. Now, one of Clinton's laws of politics is this, if one candidate's trying to scare you, and the other one is trying to get you to think, if one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope. That's the best. My fellow Americans, we can do better. And in eight days we're going to do better, with President John Kerry.

I also found Kerry's explication of his own faith in relation to politics a moving statement, which you can hear at NPR.
