1. I'm encouraged that Barack has finally put the gloves on against Bill's personal attacks.
Hillary has abdicated her fighting to her husband. The media is now aware of it, too and all I can say is "finally".

This is a contest now between Bill Clinton and Barack Obama with Hillary providing the legal cover for Bill getting around the constitution.

5. problem is, Bill out actively campaigning will galvanize GOP voters
like NONE of the GOP candidates, and end up getting out the vote on that side come November.

Nobody is as fun to watch as the Big Dog on the trail, but damn, do we really win with the effect he has in November.

And does Hillary look pale hanging onto Bill's coat tails?

A most talented and powerful gent, Bill Clinton, but his skills might better serve the NATION as the wise elder STATESMAN instead of the ringer roll he seems anxious to take on.

It is perfectly understandable that he not cotton to harsh things being said about the wife who helped him to so much success, but he IS the guy so many in the GOP love to hate. Do we need that in the campaign? Do we need HRC looking like she needs the protection of a big dog?

It seems problematic.

9. Agreed. I'll bet that we won't win if Hillary makes it to the general election.

10. Sadly, the turnout to reflexivly vote against a Clinton, reinforced by Bill's face on the campaign
might do the trick of getting the vote close enough to be stolen yet again. x(

7. Both, unfortunately
It would have been nice to see a woman run for president and possibly win on her own merits.

8. I voted "both" and I hope I'm right.
By every objective measure, Bill Clinton was the best president of my lifetime, and he says that Hillary is the best presidential candidate he has ever seen. But even though she is already the most qualified, she is bound to have the best advice and the best advisor any sitting president ever had -- which makes her potentially an even better president than she would already be.

So from a logical, patriotic, sensible, practical, pragmatic, results-oriented point-of-view, I want them both in the Oval Office.

11. Won't the extra desk and executive chair spoil the decor...
..I had this vision of them both chasing after each other fighting over the chair behind the desk...

Where's the pain-killers?
