Clinton is coming to town.

Word is that former President Bill Clinton is going to campaign for Strickland at three stops this week.

But if the crowd Clinton pulled in Michigan is any indication, Team Strickland shouldn’t be too optimistic about improving their standing in the enthusiasm gap.

While the crowd hoisted signs that stated “Virg Surge,” the turnout at the rally was anemic. More than 500 people came to the rally, but the gym at Renaissance High School was only about one-third full, even though Clinton used to command full houses wherever he went, especially in Detroit.
