Only Obama Can Stop The Referendum

Only in the Clinton machine could anyone debate whether a wife should embrace her husband, even figuratively. Did she think that anyone would have separated the two of them in considering her for the Presidency? Of course not; without Billl, Hillary becomes nothing more than a Senator with eight years of experience in public office. Without him, she's got less experience in that arena than Barack Obama.

Also, let's not forget that the Clintons did not keep their anger over Al Gore's strategy in 2000 to themselves. Gore deliberately distanced himself from the Clintons, disgusted with their personal behavior and wanting to separate himself from the taint. Bill and Hillary, through their lieutenants, made it clear to any media outlet willing to listen that Gore had squandered his opportunity to win against George W Bush by not embracing their legacy.

Bill wants to turn this election into a referendum on his own administration. The Republicans wouldn't mind that referendum, either
