One of the best things about Bill Clinton is he is a good photography subject. He constantly uses his hands when he talks, just like my landlord (who also shares a birthday with him). But unlike my landlord, Clinton does not drive me crazy with the gestures. He knows how to use his hands to make a point.
One of the concerns addressed by Bill in his speech was whether his wife is electable. He recounted the fact that while John Kerry won New York State in 2004, he lost in most of the counties. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, won the vast majority of counties in the state when she ran for re-election. I would add, though, Hillary had very poor opposition, and the fact she did helped give her an ample campaign chest for running for president in 2008.
Bill Clinton certainly seemed comfortable campaigning in front of the crowd. Earlier in the day, he attended the 10th Lake Tahoe Summit. You can also watch a video of the forum here.
