Meanwhile, earlier in the day, former President Bill Clinton shook off criticism he’s only offered lukewarm support to Obama by campaigning for him in Florida.

Bill Clinton: “So, that’s my case for the people that aren’t here, for the people that are still undecided. You do not have to say one bad word about Senator Obama’s opponent. You just have to go out and tell them the truth. The job of the next president is to rebuild the American dream, repair the financial system, restore America’s leadership. On those issues, the Obama-Biden ticket, and particularly Senator Obama, have a better philosophy, better answers, better understanding, better advisers, a better vice-presidential candidate and a better plan for Florida.”
