As the election is getting closer, both candidates are looking for endorsements to help get them votes in November. Patty Murray has recently got support from a few major representatives of the Democratic party, including Barrack Obama, Joe Biden, and Bill Clinton. In fact, Bill Clinton was in Everett, Wa at a political rally with Murray on Monday, October 18th. The focus of Clinton's speech involved creating jobs and decreasing the deficit. Clinton said, "I am pleading with you, folks. I'm not running for anything. I just look at the facts". Bill Clinton was trying to persuade the people that the Democrats have a history of doing a much better job with creating jobs and lowering the deficit. These two issues are a major concern in this Senate election. One of Dino Rossi's main claims is that he will do better job reducing the debt than Murray has. Clinton also simply urged voters to not stay home and go vote on election day, and to not be remember that change takes time.
I think this visit by Clinton helped Murray get votes from liberals who were losing faith in Patty Murray. Clinton said he supports her and gave the people reasons why they should continue to vote for the democrats.
