▲During the [[Democratic Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2008|2008 Democratic presidential primary campaign]], Clinton vigorously advocated on behalf of his wife, [[Hillary Clinton]]. Through speaking engagements and fundraisers, he was able to raise $10 million toward her campaign.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/07/30/bill-clinton-2007-speech-haul-tops-10-million/ |title=Bill Clinton 2007 speech haul tops $10 million |author=Robert Yoon |date=July 30, 2008 |publisher=CNN |accessdate=August 30, 2011}}</ref> Some worried that as an ex-president, he was too active on the trail, too negative to Clinton rival Barack Obama, and alienating his supporters at home and abroad.<ref name = "CBS-Tarnish">{{Cite news |url=http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/01/26/politics/main3755521.shtml |title=Analysis: Bill Clinton's Lost Legacy |publisher=CBS News |date= January 26, 2008 |accessdate=August 30, 2011 |author=Vaughn Ververs}}</ref> Many were especially critical of him following his remarks in the South Carolina primary, which Obama won.
