...Though he swears he's "rusty," Bill Clinton was in full campaign form Tuesday. Hours behind schedule, he stopped to press the flesh with everyone in sight. "I love talking to people, doing all these town hall meetings," Clinton told reporters at Lizzard's Thicket, a breakfast joint in Columbia. He also took the opportunity to hit at his wife's opponent when he was asked: "Is Obama running against you, or Hillary Clinton, or both...
