Too good not to share

Seriously, though, I hope everyone noticed that Hillary suspended - not ended - her campaign last week.
Reading between the lines, one may conclude that she's ready to crank it up again if Obama stumbles on the way to the convention.

What about Bill?

As the talking heads on TV were analyzing and overthinking the presumed nomination of Barack Obama and the presumed demise of Hillary Clinton's presidential aspirations last night, I found myself thinking that this election year probably still has lots of surprises in store.
For the second time this spring, I heard the name of Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) casually mentioned as a vice-presidential candidate. You may recall that I raised that possibility here months ago.
And I thought it was brilliant of Hillary to let slip the idea that she might accept the #2 spot on the Democrat ticket while, at the same time, declining to concede.
As some of the folks on FOX News pointed out, her hint at being Obama's VP sucked a lot of the wind out of the sails on Obama's victory.
But the tantalizing thing about these scenarios is Bill Clinton.
I suggested earlier that Bill probably isn't eager to be relegated to the status of the husband of a president. But at the same time, it would be even more ignominious to be the husband of a vice president. Neither is a lofty legacy for a former president of the United States.
But then Jimmy Carter has turned into a treasonous moonbat, setting a new benchmark for presidential legacies.
And then there's the question of why on God's green earth would Barack Obama want a former president as the spouse of his VP? That would make for some awkward and weird scenes at state dinners and other such affairs.
And finally, I think Hillary is considering taking this all the way to the convention and making a fight out of it. The Clinton ego is pretty big, you know.

Is Bill deliberately sabotaging his wife's campaign?

The notion that Bill Clinton is sabotaging Hillary's campaign seems to be gathering momentum.
I heard it expressed last night on the Glen Beck show and the essence of it is that consciously or unconsciously, Bill Clinton can't handle the idea of going back to the White House as the first "First Man." Likewise, he may worry that she will overshadow his legacy and be judged by history as a better president than he.
Thomas B. Edsall has written a pretty comprehensive piece on the subject and you can read it here.
