That's only one person's opinion...his columns are published nationwide--many Americans disagree with your assessment.

Mr. Purdum issued a statement late Monday saying the article spoke for itself and was “based on interviews with dozens of high-level people who either still work for the Clintons or have worked with them or known them for years, and who continue to admire the former president in many ways.”

Mr. and Mrs. Clinton’s aides have complained all year that the former president has received uneven coverage in the news media, with attention mainly focused on flare-ups and gaffes and not on his daily successful campaigning.

“Ninety-nine point nine percent of the time, he has been the happy warrior on the campaign trail,” said Terry McAuliffe, the Clinton campaign chairman and a close confidant of Mr. Clinton’s. “The other stuff doesn’t make news.”

Defenders of the former president were quick to argue on Monday that Mr. Clinton’s prodigious political skills still far outweighed his liabilities.

“The only people I know who think Bill Clinton should not be campaigning for his wife are people who don’t want his wife to win,” said Paul Begala, a former senior adviser.
