A Third Term for Bill?

Jan. 22

He joked about it when he first ran for President. With Hillary, Bill Clinton said, you get two for the price of one. Some people didn't like that much, but some 16 years later, we're still getting two for the price of one. Bill seems to be campaigning almost as hard as his wife, and receiving a good bit of press in doing it. His criticisms of her main challenger (Barak Obama) seem un-presidential to many (including me), but despite some party leaders telling him to cool it, he may find it impossible to keep quiet.
If nothing else, it raises the entirely legitimate question of what kind of role will the former president play if his wife does win the White House. Try as he might, it's hard to see Bill Clinton being satisfied to remain in the background.
