If Hillary wins in '08, how much presidential power will Bill have?

[wakemewhenitsover]

[Kenroy]

1. Probably less than Hillary had from 1992-2000 n/t

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

2. How much Presidential Power does Laura Bush have? Sheesh.

[wakemewhenitsover]

3. But Laura Bush wasn't President for 8 years.

Also, she's Laura Bush.

25. He'll look lovely in the Chanel suit and pillbox hat though

Classiest First Spouse we ever had, I betcha.

(time to go to bed, I think.)

[BlueEyedSon]

4. Hopefully 100%

[LibertyorDeath]

5. & why would Diebold ES&S & Sequoia Voting systems

let Hillary win in 08.

Why?

Better yet why would Americans throw away hundreds of years of tradition
in Electing only male Presidents to vote for a female candidate in 08
and a Liberal Dem no less as far as the red states are concerned.

Oh yeah why in the fuck are all the nascar dads gonna run out & vote
for a female democrat for President the Wife of the former President they Loath.

Why?

Enjoy the delusion.

[ladylibertee]

8. Why? I will tell you why.....

The same reason why America broke the tradition in allowing women to vote,blacks to vote,blacks to be de-segregated,women to make the same wages as men,women to join the military and go to war and fight on the front lines,Theres a lot more but I think you get what I am saying.Enjoy change.Enjoy reality.

[mattclearing]

10. Someday there will be a female president. It will not be Hillary. n/t

[ladylibertee]

17. We shall see.Noone ever thought Bush would make a liberal speech?

[mattclearing]

19. He was lying through his teeth, though.

Give me a break.

[ladylibertee]

24. He was not lying...He just did'nt want to tell the truth.

[LibertyorDeath]

21. I would have tears of joy in my eyes if this became "reality."

From everything I see I just don't see this happening in 08

[Child_Of_Isis]

11. Red states think women have their "place". eom

[ladylibertee]

6. Quite a bit.But I would suspect, he will be hanging out a lot....

with the Vice President.

[cornermouse]

7. Probably very little.

But given the comparison between Clinton's economy and Bush's economy, I wouldn't have any problem with it if she did.

[ozymandius]

9. I am reminded of the deal that Reagan and Ford tried to make in 1980.

The deal was to establish a formal co-presidency at the time of the nomination. Of course, it failed.

I think that if Hillary Clinton were POTUS, we would see a co-presidency of formal power, although of informal arrangement. In all likelihood, we would once again have a time when the Vice President is practically invisible.

[wakemewhenitsover]

23. That's fascinating. Can you explain? How formal was plan?

I'm wondering if Bill's pre-health-care plan debacle that he and Hillary were "a twofer" would apply again. One can hope.

Won't Clinton nostalgia accelerate now?

[ozymandius]

26. The plan was haggled in the back rooms at the convention.

It was only as formal as a serious discussion, weighing the constitutionality of a double-ticket. It was reported on TV enthusiastically.

[wakemewhenitsover]

29. Thanks. Really interesting.

[Drifter]

12. That is the reason she will NEVER be president ...

The impression that Bill will actually be in charge.

I love Hillary, she is my Senator, but she is damaged goods, and will never be elected.

Cheers
Drifter

[brmdp3123]

13. Actually, I think the impression is that

she was really in charge when Bill was President!

[JNelson6563]

14. Yeah, most Rush listeners think that

too.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Why are you asking? 1) 2006 comes first, 2) This is a fav Reich wing Q.

[Binka]

22. Why Indeed

Check profiles they explain much.

[JNelson6563]

16. Personally

I'll be working hard to make sure she doesn't get the nomination.

[Berserker]

18. Well Said JNelson6563

[TallahasseeGrannie]

20. I think there is a better chance

of BC getting a third term than Hillary getting elected. Too much baggage, too many people who will vote against her rather than FOR the GOP.

But if she did: I think he would have pillow talk power and that's all. That is provided they are still married.

[pepperlove]

27. She has one vote

mine.

[truebrit71]

28. Won't happen. Moot point. If Hilary runs the rethuglicans will win.

..they probably will anyway, what with Diebold and everything...
