Reply #54: Her marriage is fantastic

They are still together, and they will be TDDUP--and that pisses a lot of people off--HOW could she forgive him, they ask? Who knows what she was up to; who knows what dimension their relationship exists on. And the "First Gentleman" thing could well capture the imagination. It is still a tough row to hoe for a female, but I think it is past time. If the UK, India, Pakistan, Israel, Germany, Ireland, and so on can manage it, it's high time we ignorant rubes with cash and a large military learned that the ladies are a dab hand at leading.

I'll wait and see, though. I am not sold on any candidate. If Russ can make it, more power to him, but I just see him as target-rich for the GOP machine. You won't be able to hear the message over the salacious details of his failed relationships (and it is the PLURAL that kills him, plus the fact that the latest failure is so fresh)...

They did the same thing with Judy Dean. Even though she tried to keep out of the limelight, they raked her over the coals for her lack of fancy clothes, hair, and so forth. And Dean was a helluva focused guy in terms of message, but even that crap distracted him to the point that he changed his schedule to do a soppy tv interview at home with the Missus. They tore John and Teresa to shreds because Mama T got cranky once in every other blue moon. They LOVE that personal shit, especially if it is breaking news, fresh to a national audience. And there's no news on the Clinton front--it has been done to death, and ain't news any more.
