I know this may sound sexist but I can't help but think she wouldn't be where she is now if it weren't for her husband.

I wrote an article recently for a lte about the Clinton legacy - domestic policy-wise....stuck to the issues and didn't bring up Bill's behavior. But the point is, his campaign in 92 introduced the term 'twofer' - in other words if he is elected you get both Clintons....Can't recall if that term was used in the 08 primaries and I haven't heard it mentioned in this cycle. But the fact is many of the advisors for Clinton I are still there and working for Hillary.....And the fact that he is campaigning for her and she herself proclaims that he will be an advisor...it's almost like he's going for his third term....Yes, she heads the ticket but he's clearly operating as her senior advisor.
