Reply #64: Yes, Bill is Hound Dawg - so WHY did Hillary stay?? [View All]

I do not think her reasons were on the side of the angels - he was her ticket to prominence and then power. She resented that HE was Pres. instead of the more studious and digigent Hillary and he dutifully sought her opinion on many issues so she wouldn't leave and "expose" him entirely. While he respects her acumen - it is his ability to synthesize creatively and connect across cultural and international lines that led to the ultimately successful presidency.

She will not dump or banish him completely until she does not need him anymore -- sometime in 20013 if she needs him for another term -- and if he lives that long. Unlike Bill, I doubt she will consult him on matters other than sheerly political. She can only play the "you owe me" card so long. Her supposed presidency will fail without his vision and communication abilities.
