Clinton's reputation may sink his wife's presidential hopes(Belinda Stronach 38, glamorous Canadian)

WHEN he ran for president, Bill Clinton's campaign stressed the advantage his wife's experience and feminist credentials would bring to the job of First Lady. But now that Hillary Clinton is preparing a presidential campaign, his time in the Oval Office is as much a handicap as an advantage.

Yesterday the New York Times devoted a 2,000-word story on its front page to the state of the Clintons' marriage. Noting, without comment, that the couple have been together for just 14 nights a month in the last two years, the paper speculated on whether or not the baggage from Mr Clinton's eight tumultuous years as president might one day sink his wife's presidential ambitions.

"There's no question that it's a complicated candidacy for a lot of voters because of the history of that relationship and what they've been through," said Leon Panetta, Mr Clinton's chief of staff from 1994 to 1997.

The couple's respective spokesmen told the paper: "She is an active senator who, like most members of Congress, has to be in Washington for part of most weeks. He is a former president running a multi-million-dollar global foundation.

I heard she burned a ton of political bridges with her very vocal move from the conservatives to the liberals.
She wouldn't shut up about it.
I heard she's now out of job.
But I'm sure daddy won't let her starve and will give her some 6 figure, do nothing job at Magna. He must be very proud. She banged a married former US president. What an accomplishment!

Well hey. She's loaded and seems a little tacky, if the pictures are any indication. Bubba could work with that, I'm sure.

Her Daddy owns a huge corporation called Candian Tire. I think there are other businesses as well. Canadian Tire is a huge outfit here.

As to Hagala - God Help the USA if she is elected. She is a very wicked woman who is more than a Socialist - she's a Nazi!!

Just as many of us realize we'd have CO-Presidents - again - if Hill-Billy got back into the White House. Who wants it? I certainly don't!!!!

Welcome to Free Republic, Top, and thank you very much for your service!

Don't be concerned about typos or goofs being pounced on - most of the time you just get a lot of good-natured ribbing. However, certain topics are good for starting flame wars, I am quite sure you will see which really fast...

FReegards,
Reb

Bill's whole history of campaigning...has been to get negative stories out...with 50 percent of the story...and pretend when the story comes up six months later with the full truth that this epsiode is over now and we "must move forward". Count every single story in first campaign, and the eight years...he always did pre-release...and then pretty-up the damage control later. He is a master at this tactic.

It seems to me that Mrs Clinton as a candidate in 2008 could be a great asset for the Republican Party.
