Bubba MIA for fellow Dem Thompson

He’s had time to stump for New Jersey’s embattled Gov. Jon Corzine, but former President Bill Clinton has been a glaring absence from mayoral hopeful William Thompson’s campaign.

“I don’t know,” Thompson told The Post this week, when asked about when Clinton would endorse him, adding he hadn’t “spoken directly” to the ex-president about it.

A Clinton spokesman declined comment repeatedly this week when asked about when a shared moment between the former president and Thompson would take place.

Even if he does hit the stump for Thompson, Bubba’s backing would come so late in the game that it would be difficult for Thompson to capitalize on it.
