Clinton will campaign on behalf of Kerry

Associated Press

DAYTON, Ohio – Former President Bill Clinton will campaign for Sen. John Kerry early next week in Philadelphia, a senior Democratic official who is familiar with the former president’s plans said Tuesday.

It was unclear whether Kerry would be there, too. Clinton, who is recovering from heart surgery, has agreed to appear for his fellow Democrat, who is locked in a tight race against President Bush, the official said.

Kerry’s campaign also has outlined for Clinton other ways he can help rally voters and participate in the last two weeks of the presidential campaign, including visits to battleground states.

“There has been some discussion with the former president about things that will be great for him to do,” said Kerry adviser Mike McCurry.
