Bill Clinton

Former President Bill Clinton will join U.S. Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Joe Biden (D-Del.) at a scheduled campaign stop in northeastern Pennsylvania next month, The Washington Post reports.

While details remain unclear, Clinton and Biden, the vice presidential nominee, had already been scheduled to appear in Scranton Oct. 12.

No word yet if Clinton plans to appear at the same event.

"It's a big October," Clinton said, according to The Post. "I'm going to be out there a lot for him."

The headline speaker will be vice presidential nominee, U.S. Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.).

Featured speakers will include President Bill Clinton (D), U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), Gov. Bill Richardson (D-N.M.), U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and former U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.).

The full schedule is below.

U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) at a party for four state delegations Tuesday night: Clinton appeared with former President Bill Clinton, far left, Gov. Ed Rendell, center, New York Gov. David Patterson, back, and New Jersey Gov. John Corzine (not pictured).DENVER--A few hours before she delivered her highly anticipated keynote address to the Democratic convention here Tuesday night, Gov. Ed Rendell had predicted that U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton would "hit it out of the park."

Shortly after her speech, at a party for Pennsylvania delegates and delegations from three other states, Rendell said Clinton, the New York Democrat, had delivered.

"I think all of us just heard one of the best speeches ever," Rendell said at Invesco Field, both Clintons behind him as he shared the stage with New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine and New York Gov. David Patterson.

"We know what our job is," Rendell said. "Hillary Clinton gave us our marching orders. And we have to do everything we can to elected Barack Obama."

The party, which was attended by delegates from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Florida, was called "T-92," for the total number combined electoral college votes in the four states.

As Rendell heaped praise on Clinton, he thought back to his early support for her before the Pennsylvania primary, and remembered her asking if he was supporting her because of the substance of her candidacy or because of his personal relationship with the Clintons.

With a smirk, Rendell joked that he did it "just for her."

Taking the podium briefly, Clinton thanked Rendell and her other supporters.

"Thank you for eveything you did for me," she said. "Thank you for everything you always did for my husband. And thank you for everything you're going to do to elect Barack Obam and Joe Biden."

In 1992 when Bill Clinton was about to become the official nominee for the Democratic Party, two-term Pennsylvania Governor Robert Casey was denied a chance to speak at the Democratic National Convention.  16 years later when Bill’s wife Hillary Clinton came looking for support in Pa., Robert Casey’s son Bob Casey decided to join on with Barack Obama. 

The elder Casey was denied a chance to speak at the convention because he was a pro-life Democrat and wanted to address the issue to the convention.  Tonight the junior senator will have a chance to address the nation in prime-time and will focus on the economy. It is unlikely Bob Casey will bring up the life issue as his father wanted to do 16 years ago.

What did Hillary Clinton say to Barack Obama to cause him to react in such a concerned way?

And why is Bill Clinton there looking for the fist bump?
