Former president Bill Clinton returned to Little Rock yesterday in an effort to boost John Kerry`s chance of winning
Arkansas` six electoral votes. Less than two months after quadruple
heart bypass surgery, Clinton appeared before a crowd estimated at
more than 4,500 at the Statehouse Convention Center. Actor
Danny Glover and Arkansas` top Democrats sat behind him on a stage
adorned with pumpkins, mums and bales of hay. Clinton urged
Democrats to turn out at the polls tomorrow.
Clinton had been scheduled to appear at an aerospace museum near
Little Rock National Airport, but the heavy demand for tickets
convinced organizers to move the rally downtown.
Sounding winded at times, but still strong in his delivery,
Clinton spoke for 40 minutes.
