Bill Clinton in Wisconsin

In The Washington Post we have Greg Sargent writing "Bill Clinton hits a home run in Wisconsin.  Will it be enough?"

Bill Clinton, in his speech in Wisconsin just now, framed the recall election as a stark choice between unity and division, between cooperation and conflict, and between shared prosperity and right wing winner-take-all economics.

On the other hand, on the ground, reporting from Wisconsin we have Professor Ann Althouse saying "Bill Clinton did not come to Wisconsin to help Tom Barrett win the recall election."

The Democrats have given so little help to Tom Barrett in his effort to oust Scott Walker, but Bill Clinton did show up for a rally yesterday, 4 days before the recall election.

She then proceeds to suggest that the Clinton visit was all about Hillary in 2016.

It is all about Hillary and 2016.

Strategic Vision combined with the art of the political compromise.  But isn't that what politics is all about, compromise when it works?  William Jefferson Clinton is a master at this sort of thing.
