Almost like he didn't deserve a first name.
More to the point: since she's the one running for office and Bill's position would be informal, it makes more sense to call her "Clinton" and to call him "Bill." Calling her by her first name just doesn't sit right. People never called Jimmy Carter just "Jimmy." We never called John F. Kennedy "John" and don't do it now.
I wouldn't mind if it were used just informally, but even her own website refers to her that way.
