Rawstory:Times plans page one story on Clinton's marriage

[cal04]

"When the subject of Bill and Hillary Clinton comes up for many prominent Democrats these days, Topic A is their marriage, and how their relationship might affect Sen. Clinton's possible bid for the White House in 2008," the New York Times' Patrick Healy will report on page ones Tuesday, RAW STORY has learned.

The story is slated as the offlead story above the fold on the front page.
"Democrats say it is inevitable that, in a campaign that could return the former president to the White House, some voters would be concerned about Bill Clinton's political role and his potential for the kind of episodes that led the House to vote for his impeachment in 1998.

"The dynamics of a couple's marriage are difficult to gauge from the outside, even for a couple as well known as the Clintons. But interviews with some 50 people and a review of their respective activities show that since leaving the White House, Bill and Hillary Clinton have built largely separate lives -- partly because of the demands of their distinct career paths and partly as a result of political calculations.

"Some friends say that they do not notice any tension now, though they are not sure when, or how, it lifted.
"'Who knows how any couple conquers the issues in their marriage, but they did it,' said Chris Korge, a Democratic fund-raiser who is close to both Clintons. 'It's like when he bought her a new diamond ring recently, you just saw the look in her face. When someone shows you something like that, "This is what Bill bought me," kind of gleaming, it meant something to get it -- it meant more to her that he bought it for her than what it actually was.'"
