Former president Bill Clinton campaigns for his wife, Hillary Clinton, during a Washington Get Out The Caucus rally on Monday, March 21, 2016, at Spokane Falls Community College in Spokane. Story here. (Tyler Tjomsland/SR)

The Bernie Sanders for President campaign rolled into Spokane, followed by ex-President Bill Clinton stumping for his wife, Hillary, all in less than 24 hours. If that isn’t a columnist’s, um, nocturnal fantasy I don’t what is. If Donald Trump shows up next week, I’ll have to be hospitalized. What a great time for Spokane. The Zags are winning. The weather is warming. And all of a sudden we’re ground zero for political wrangling on a national scale. This is due to the state’s Democratic caucuses to be held on Saturday, of course. That means 101 convention delegates are up for grabs for either Sanders or Mrs. Clinton, which explains why we’re suddenly on the A-list/ Doug Clark , SR. More here.

Question: And, imagine, Spokane didn’t have to pay $2M to attract political star power, like the Idaho GOP did. Thoughts?
