Bill Clinton
will tell anyone he loves living in
New York. Everyone also knows he loves visiting Washington. But
does he still love Arkansas? True, he’s spending some time down
south, campaigning and fundraising for Democratic U.S. Rep.
Mike Ross
in Hot Springs, Clinton’s old stomping
grounds. But he’s not doing it out of the kindness of his heart.
“Mr. Clinton doesn’t do charity,” says a campaign volunteer for
Ross. “We’re paying his expenses on this trip.”

You have to pay if you want Clinton to play. “Let’s face it, no one wanted Carter around after he left office,” says a DNC advance staffer. “Clinton’s really the first guy we’ve had in a while to move around the country. Of course we have to pay his expenses.”
Ross had extended invitations to Clinton in the past but those invites never included an all-expense-paid trip home.
p>”Clinton doesn’t have a home in Arkansas, unless you count the home his mother lived in,” says the DNC advance person. “Who knows if Clinton even considers it his home anymore? Most likely he thinks he’s a New Yorker.” br> /p>
