As Al Gore learned in 2000, having one Clinton, let alone two, hover over you as you campaign for the presidency can be a trying experience.
The Gore campaign had hoped to choreograph Bill Clinton out of the picture at its convention, in Los Angeles, giving him the prime-time speaking slot Monday and then staging a symbolic “passing of the torch” to Gore the next day in Michigan.
But Bill Clinton started to steal the limelight on the prior Thursday, in a lengthy public confessional in which he said that voters should not hold Gore accountable for Clinton’s personal failings. The president then arrived in Los Angeles on Friday and was the toast of the town for three days leading up to his convention speech. He dominated the torch moment in Michigan and continued to preoccupy much of the news media for the rest of the campaign.

Great history lesson...let’s hope history repeats itself in two weeks.
I still wonder if, besides Hillary’s now nomination, the Clintons don’t have SOMETHING else up their sleeves.
