Bill Clinton is coming

In a tour of small towns in West Virginia, former President Bill Clinton will make a public appearance at Wayne High School at 3 p.m. tomorrow, Friday, May 9.

It will be the third of five stops Clinton is making tomorrow, the others being:

Madison, 10 a.m.
Williamson, 12:15 p.m.
Saint Albans, 5:30 p.m.
Ripley, 7:30 p.m.

Clinton is in the middle of a three-town tour today: Fayetteville, Fairlea and Athens.

It looks like Hillary is keeping the big cities, such as Charleston, to herself while dispatching her husband to the smaller communities. The only reason I can come up with now hearkens back to what little I know about auto advertising.

You see, car ads on tv have two purposes. One is to convince people who do not own your brand to switch. The other is to convince people who do own your brand to buy another one. I would say Hillary is doing the first while leaving Bill to do the second.

She probably has the harder job in this state, as I dare say there are very few undecided primary voters. Now that Rush Limbaugh has called off Operation Chaos before it could have an effect in West Virginia, we'll have to see how the turnout goes on Tuesday.

P.S. No, I'm not going to Wayne to see Bill Clinton. I've seen him once. That was enough. And I only did it because I was on the clock.

I've seen George W. Bush three times, all on the clock. Those were enough, too, unless I get an exclusive.
