Rendell: Lundergan Grimes Brought Bill Clinton to Kentucky to Talk to the ‘Hillbillies’

‘This is a hillbilly state, and Bill Clinton’s a hillbilly’

"Well, that's the genius of Bill Clinton. In New York, in L.A. he can talk to leads. In Boston and Philadelphia he can talk to academics and in Arkansas, West Virginia and Kentucky he relates to ordinary ‘Hillbilly’ citizens who work in the coal mines, work on the farms. So, she's distancing herself on policy from the president. She hasn't said anything negative about the president personally. She shows she's willing to disagree, and she uses the popularity of Bill Clinton, who really does relate -- I've seen him relate to people in West Virginia and the Western Pennsylvania, and boy, he talks their language!"
