Let's turn the memory clock back to 1992. Remember when Hillary (or was it Bill?) said "Vote for him and get me free"? I think the Clintons are playing the same game,for some very good political reasons.



Read all of the political reports and what you see is "Bill and Hillary campaign together" or "Bill campaigns for Hillary", or . or

"With her husband at her side, Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton last night pulled in more than $1 million for her 2008 presidential aspirations at a huge Manhattan dinner sprinkled with famous faces and political high rollers," Celeste Katz -The New York Daily News.

I started to ask myself "Why? Why is Bill always there?"



Well, it doesn't require a political genius to figure this one out. Bill is far more popular than the incredibly polarizing Hillary, so by having Bill front and center on the campaign trail voters can get the feeling that they can vote for Hillary knowing that Bill will be there. It's really rather brilliant. Women who might not vote for Bill because of his personal peccadilloes see Hillary at his side and figure that since she has forgiven him, they can, too. Hey, Clinton seems like a great president in retrospect so why not get the guy back into a position where he can project his incredible magnetism ( and do his lower lip-biting thing), bolster the wooden Hillary, make people think he is in on the deal to run the country ( "vote for her and you get me free.") and also provide some entertainment to the country. It will be like a combination of (insert soap opera of your choice) and "West Wing" . A real winner!
