CLINTON, Iowa (AP) -- America feels Bill Clinton's pain.

On New Year's Day, when many sports fans plant themselves on the couch to watch a day of college football games, the former president was stumping through the snows of Iowa for his wife, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.

As Bill Clinton put it, "This morning, as I was walking out to come here, Hillary looked at me and said, 'Finally, after all these years I know you do love me.' And I said, 'You do?' She said, "Absolutely, you're missing six football games today."

Clinton laughed along with about 300 people at Ashford University, then added:

"I am the quintessential indolent American male on New Year's Day. I just sit around and watch the games, but this is more important."

The stop in Clinton was one of four scheduled for the former president, who is campaigning hard for his wife in the remaining days before Thursday's caucuses.
