Bill Clinton has gone too far, says Hillary
But it`s just out of love, she says
Follow the US presidential election with us

HILLARY Clinton admitted today her husband Bill`s hard-charging US presidential election campaign tactics had gone overboard, but chalked the ex-president`s fiery broadsides up to love and a chronic lack of sleep.

A day after rival Barack Obama trounced her in the South Carolina primary, the former first lady also mounted a vigorous defence of the two Clinton White House terms, which Senator Obama has said did not spark transformational change.

Senator Clinton was asked on CBS television`s Face the Nation whether her husband was "out of control" after he took the Illinois senator, and the media to task, during a foul-tempered week-long campaign.

"You know, my husband has such a great commitment to me and to my campaign," the New York senator said.

"He loves me just like, you know, husbands and wives get out there and work on each others` behalf."

She blamed the tensions of the tight battle for the party`s presidential nomination.

"Maybe he got a little carried away. You know, that comes with a hard-fought election," she said.

"It also comes with sleep deprivation which, you know, I think is marking all of us, our families, our supporters," said Senator Clinton, who herself is running low on sleep, as she jets back-and-forth across the country.

Senator Clinton said her husband would remain a premier member of her campaign team as she heads into 22 critical nominating contests on "Super Tuesday" February 5, though it was unsure if the ex-president`s campaign style would change.

Exit polls in South Carolina suggested that some undecided voters may have bolted to Senator Obama after the former president`s interventions, and claims he had deliberately raised the spectre of race.

Later, she said that she and her husband had dedicated their lives to "giving voice to the voiceless, empowering the disempowered" and in a shot at Senator Obama, who the Clinton camp portrays as a `talker, not a doer` said, "we did not just talk about it. We have done it".

Senator Clinton also portrayed her husband as a historic figure of inclusion, who united Americans, despite assessments by some historians that his White House tenure was a time of hyper-partisanship and boiling political anger.

"I am just proud of what my husband has done over the course of his very productive and positive career in public life," she said, but insisted her campaign was not part of a Clinton restoration.

"It is my candidacy, I am the one asking the people of America to support me. I believe I stand on my own merits."

Earlier this week Senator Obama`s campaign and Democratic party figures said it was inappropriate for a former commander-in-chief to engage in harsh attacks against a fellow Democrat.

"I think it`s not presidential, it`s not in keeping with the image of a former president, and I`m frankly surprised that he is taking this approach," said former Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle, who has endorsed Senator Obama.

And in an interview with a Nevada editorial board, which the Clinton campaign has pounced upon to hammer Senator Obama, the Illinois senator downplayed the achievements of the Clinton administration saying he had not been a "transformational president".

In his victory speech yesterday, Senator Obama branded the Clintons as a discredited relic of a politics of division.

"That status quo is fighting back with everything it`s got, with the same old tactics that divide and distract us from solving the problems people face," said Senator Obama.
