Bill Clinton on Obama: ‘He might win.’

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Bill Clinton said Friday that Barack Obama’s campaign was very impressive, and the Democratic presidential candidate “might win.”

“He’s put together a great campaign. It’s clearly not a fairy tale, it’s real,” Clinton said. “He might win.”

Clinton had called into activist Al Sharpton's radio show to try to address the controversy over his remarks just before the New Hampshire primary that seemed to say the Illinois senator’s campaign was a “fairy tale.” On Friday, he said that reference was meant to describe news coverage of Obama's war vote, and of his campaign, and not the viability of his presidential run.

“I was addressing a specific argument. That doesn’t have anything to do with my respect for him as a person or as a political figure,” said the former president. But he said black voters should support his wife Hillary Clinton over Obama because “You know where her heart and where her life has been.”

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against Obama. My choices are in this order:


(KUCINICH - who will not win now and probably not ever, of course)

EDWARDS

OBAMA

H. CLINTON

But it's pathetic and sick that the way elections are designed in this country are so that the winner is whoever gets the most $ from corporations AND whoever has an adviser and campaign manager that puts together a great advertising and manipulation-of-the-voters campaign.

The more you talk, the less anyone wants to listen - including Hillary.

Can he make it any worse for her? Is he jealous of her candidacy?
