The Big Dawg's doing his part

Clinton regularly phones Kerry and his aides to offer advice, and he plans to tape a phone message that will be sent into voters' homes. Campaign officials say it's likely he'll also record radio advertisements, but his slow recovery from heart surgery is making it questionable whether he'll be able to do any physical campaigning.

Democrats who have spoken to Clinton say he is eager to get more involved, but his doctors and his wife are not sure he is strong enough to travel five weeks after he underwent quadruple bypass surgery.

One senior Democratic official who recently saw Clinton said the former president looked wan and reported that his recovery had been harder than he had expected. But Clinton told the official to begin planning a couple of events for the final days of the campaign.

Another Democrat who has talked to Clinton said that may be wishful thinking, and it's unclear whether there will be any appearances.

3. Clinton runs the track at my cousins high school

Says he's lost a lot of weight and looks a bit pale but is looking stronger every week. I'm hoping he can do some campaigning in some of the battleground states but don't want him to risk his health.

BTW, I missed meeting him by 10 minutes when I was meeting her for dinner. Was very disappointed.
