Hillary Clinton Not Strong Enough Without Bill?

J.J. Jackson* | January 9, 2008 

Seems like every time Hillary is in trouble she runs to her man, Slick Willie, to try and bail her out of the situation. For someone that is supposed to be a strong woman and a great leader, it seems that she does an awful lot of using other people’s perceived clout among her core constituents to bolster her own position.

DURHAM, N.H. — Is this what it would have been like had Elvis been reduced to playing Reno?Bill Clinton in North Conway, N.H., with Jen Bella, middle, and her daughter, Veronica Schartor. Ms. Bella wrote a favorable article about Hillary Rodham Clinton in The Conway Daily Sun.

Former President Bill Clinton has been drawing sleepy and sometimes smallish crowds at big venues in the state that revived his presidential campaign in 1992. He entered to polite applause and rows of empty seats at the University of New Hampshire on Friday. Several people filed out midspeech, and the room was largely quiet as he spoke, with few interruptions for laughter or applause. He talked about his administration, his foundation work and some about his wife.

“Hillary’s got good plans,” Mr. Clinton kept saying as he worked through a hoarse-voiced litany of why his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, is a “world-class change agent.” He urged his audience to “caucus” on Tuesday for Mrs. Clinton, before correcting himself (“vote”). He took questions, quickly worked a rope line and left.

…

Mr. Clinton’s presence is at the heart of the tricky two-step that Mrs. Clinton’s campaign has been trying with mixed success — to convince voters that it is wise to reach into the past to change the future; that these old familiar faces can convincingly sell a “new beginning.”

Of course with Bill trying unsuccessfully to give Hillary credit for anything that was even remotely positive during his presidency while taking the blame for anything Hillary tired that failed (i.e. Socialized Healthcare) you really have to wonder how effective this strategy is. After all, if Bill was a failure what good is his support of Hillary?  And if Hillary was a failure what does that say about her ability.

A catch 22.
