Vote for Hilary = a Vote for Bill?
 

How cool would it be to have Bill Clinton back in the White House! Do you think he would actually live there and hang out in the oval office in his slippers and robe, listening in to Hilary's speaker phone conversations, telling her what to say to Kim Jong Il with his facial expressions?

Don't you think that if there was a moment of great national importance everyone in the meeting would look at him, not her and he'd basically be president again?

Oh man, Hillary would throw such a hissy fit if that happened.

I think you've perfectly captured the essence of why the president must be a man.

What I find ironic is when he was first elected the buzz around my campus was that SHE was really running things and now the roles are reversed there's buzz that HE will be in charge. Sweet.

Yeah I would be suprised if she would allow him around during anything important other than public appearances.

I really don't think there is all this animosity between them and I'm sure she realizes how brilliant and effective he could be, so as long as he stays in the background, her legacy will be all the better.

I'm still in favor of giving him an official position.

That's the thing, she will be worried about HER legacy being tainted by his presence. She wants the glory and I don't think she wants her run to be tainted by people saying that she was taking marching orders from her husband.

It's obvious to them that his legacy could cause issues, and they are sensitive to that. I really don't think he will have any official capacity in the cabinet because of this. If she is elected, I'd imagine he'd continue his work with NGOs and try to limit his face time in the White House entirely.

Remember back to when Bill ran against Bush 41, they had that whole "two for the price of one" arguement. If they're smart I doubt they will try that silliness again
