The Obama campaign announced on Friday that former President Bill Clinton will campaign on President Obama’s behalf next Wednesday in New Hampshire.

Clinton has been one of President Obama’s best weapons in this campaign, from shooting commercials to delivering a widely acclaimed convention speech. Clinton’s win in New Hampshire in 1992 was the first for a Democratic candidate since 1964.

Clinton’s event comes on the same day Obama and Mitt Romney go head-to-head in their first presidential debate.
