Bill: Successful campaigner? The numbers
In North Carolina and Indiana, Bill Clinton became Hillary's chief Bubba-vote campaigner, spending a lot of time stumping in rural towns.
How'd he do?
First Read finds that he made 50 campaign stops in 41 NC counties -- and just 18 went for Hillary. That was better than Hillary: She made 22 stops in 15 counties, and won only 3 (although she racked up a big margin in those three).
In Indiana, where Hillary pretty much dominated the rural geography, the stats were much better. Bill visited 35 counties in the Hoosier state, and Hillary won 27 of them.
Here's the final NC map -- deeper green is more and more Clinton, deeper purple is more and more Obama:
