From New York III

In an article about Bill Clinton's role in the Clinton campaign, Clinton campaign aides are reportedly unhappy about what they consider to be the bad press the former president often received on the campaign trail.

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.”

I wonder if one reason why the press focuses so much upon Bill Clinton's gaffes is because people find it unseemly that a former president would campaign so actively and so negatively in a Democratic primary.
