NORMAN, OK -- For a second-straight day, Bill Clinton did what he rarely does: not make news.
He didn't mention John Edwards' departure from the presidential campaign, and didn't say anything of note about last week's South Carolina results.
He did mention McCain in passing, as he often does, when he referencing his wife's bipartisan projects, saying that she respects McCain but disagrees with him on issues like "100 more years in Iraq."
Bill Clinton was slightly stronger than normal on electability, trying to debunk the perception that she is a polarizing figure. "The big rap on her is Republicans don't like her. She's so polarizing, nobody'll ever vote for her. Here's what happened: She goes to the Senate, and more than any other person running for president has a stunning record of passing legislation with Republicans. "
Chelsea accompanied her father to the largely student-attended rally here (somewhere upwards of 4,500 in attendance.) She will appear with him later tonight in Denver.
