I do agree that they probably hate each other, on some level, but have too much dirt on one another to ever consider divorcing - in that sense they each have a gun to each other's head.
On the other hand, consider LBJ and JFK. No doubt they hated each other as much or more than the contempoary clintons. Yet there is at least a strong suggestion, if not outright evidence that LBJ blackmailed JFK to make him the VP candidate when JFK was all set to pick Symington, I think it was.
Now first husband is not the *same* as being VP, but in some sense it's roughly comparable - your as close to the throne as you can get without being actually on it - I would think that that would be a pretty strong inducement.
What do you think, Mia?
I think it's the classic approach-avoidance conflict.
On the one hand, it's the ultimate mulligan. But taking that shot would only underscore HIS utter failure... And then we must consider how he thinks SHE would handle it, knowing full well her propensity for revenge. Seems to me this is a losing proposition for him and he knows it.
>Now first husband is not the same as being VP<
LOL. I think a female president's husband would be referred to as "First Gentleman", and BuBill is NO gentleman. But then, as the president's wife, HuHill was no lady either! (What am I laughing about? Please, Lord...)
