Strickland "One Of The Best," Says Former President

If you ask former President Bill Clinton, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland (D) is at the top of the class as far as state leaders go.

“He’s clearly one of America’s best governors,” Clinton said in a new fundraising memo out today. “I can honestly say that, both as a human being and as an effective leader, Ted’s right up there with the best of them.”

Clinton will be in Canton this weekend to campaign for Strickland, who is in a tight race against Republican opponent John Kasich. The trip will be Clinton’s third since this summer on Strickland’s behalf.

On Sunday, Vice President Joe Biden will campaign for Strickland in Toledo.
