Usually a relative or former President let’s his/her preferences be known if someone close to them is running. But Bill Clinton is basically running as if he’s running for his own third term or as if he’s a Vice President candidate acting as dart-tongued “surrogate.'"</p><p>I actually wouldn't expect anything less from a former President whose spouse is now running. Since they are married I would expect to see them support each other. Whatever one's feelings are about Bill, if she's elected you get them both. A marriage is a partnership and it's great that Bill is on the campaign trail with her.</p><p>It's actually a good strategy because they can cover twice the territory than the other candidates. Even though candidates' spouses campaign now it's not the same as an ex-President campaigning simply because everyone else is virtually unknown, by comparison.</p><p></p>StockBoySFWed, 16 Jan 2008 01:59:21 -0000
