…and we know this is true HOW exactly? And we find out about this AFTER the nomination fight has ended purely as a matter of coincidence, right?

The spot was both 1. very effective(which was easily foreseeable) and 2.very controversial.

#1 assures me that Hillary was involved in the decision and comfortable with it. No one with a brain is going to believe that Bill is the only one willing to play hard ball and that Hillary is Mary Poppins.

#2 assures me that, now that Hillary has lost in 2008 and wants to plump her rep for 2012, she’s eager to get for Bill to be cast in the role of “bad cop.” In the time between now and when Hillary next runs, we’ll find that the majority of the mean and iffy decisions will be laid at Bill’s feet. Then, the next time Hillary runs, she’ll run as her own woman making her own decisions. I would not even be surprised if Hillary is contemplating a divorce or separation as part of the next story line. Either way, Bill gets to take the hits to burnish Hillary’s image. That’s how it works. If Bill doesn’t play ball, Hillary threatens to someday reveal details on the full extent of Bill’s infidelities and peculiar appetites.
