<p>It seems inevitable that she will withdraw or lose. What do you think about the state of the marriage in the future? I think this was their deal - She - I stay with you and you help me into the White House. Or have they made me too cynical? Maybe it was ducking that sniper fire in Bosnia</p>
<p>I think you are right that they have some sort of pact to stick to together until she becomes Queen of America to his having been King. Beyond that what marriage is present there? </p>
<p>I think she’ll stick with wild bill till it’s clear to her she has no chance to run again. I’m sure her present hope is that if not her, that mccain is elected and she’ll take another shot in 2012. If that doesn’t pan out the charade may be over sooner than later. These are not two people of the highest moral or ethical values IMO.</p>
<p>" I’m sure her present hope is that if not her, that mccain is elected and she’ll take another shot in 2012."</p>
<p>Wow thats sad bull, but you may be right. I wouldn’t put anything past her when her ambition is at stake. My personal hope for the Clintons is that they their 109 million dollars in earnings and go off and enjoy it quietly.</p>
<p>I’m guessing that she’ll run for NY governor, and Bill will stay with her expecting that she’ll use the governorship as a platform for another presidency run.</p>
<p>And I think that if Obama does get the nomination and loses in Nov, Hillary will never get another chance to run, as she will be labelled a “spoiler” by many in the Dem. party.</p>
<p>I don’t think there’s much of a marriage there in the first place. But it works for them, so I don’t see any reason for either one of them to give it up now.</p>
<p>…until Bill finds some sweet young thing that makes him feel young again!</p>
<p>Menlo he may then die of a heart attack like Nelson Rockefeller (you may be too young to remember the Megan Marschak affair)</p>
<p>LOL ,no, I do remember that!</p>
<p>I would not judge someone else’s marriage, however, I do believe they will stick together to the <em>bitter</em> end. Ha, ha pun intended!! :D</p>
<p>P.S. Megan Marschak??? I need to Google that name!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t presume to know how authentic Bill and Hillary’s feelings are for one another, but I do suspect that they have a unique arrangement somewhat predicated upon love and mutual respect. After all, they are very much like two peas in a pod. Both of them, extremely ambitious, intelligent, and comfortable with moral relativism. I suspect that Hillary has made her peace with Bill’s dalliances, since they’ve gone on for so long, and he can’t seem to control himself. She just hates it when his affairs make the news, and she has to publicly deal with the fall out. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they stayed together, even if she does loose the nomination. </p>
<p>Why do people believe that their marriage is strictly one of convenience? People are very complicated, and the human heart is a very mysterious thing.</p>
<p>I don’t think you have a right to judge someone else’s marriage. Even if you think there’s no emotion in it, this thread is still rude and presumptuous. Their marriage is a private matter. They’re political figures, but they’re still people and you can give them some basic respect instead of talking about their marriage so casually as a “political deal.”</p>
<p>Yea, I must agree with the above two. This is pretty crass, and I’m 17. I’ve laughed at poop jokes before.</p>
<p>I too find this thread offensive. How dare any of us judge what a marriage or relationship is to those involved! They have stayed married through many rough times, and their family is intact. Kudos to them. Shame on those who mind.</p>
<p>"How dare any of us judge what a marriage or relationship is to those involved! "</p>
<p>Interesting point. However, it is the Clinton campaign that insists on dissecting any and all relationships (real or not) that Obama may have had with people that they think could damage him and his reputation.</p>
<p>Shame on them.</p>
<p>This is very crude thread indeed, and let me tell you something. Make nice to us. You will need us in November if your master gets the nomination.</p>
<p>Simba, Obama supporters don’t think in terms of “master” and “servant.” That’s really more of a Clinton thing.</p>
<p>Hmm. I don’t find it offensive. I figure Hil and Bill gave up their privacy based on his behavior. Their marriage became our business when he had an affair with a White House intern in and around the Oval Office.</p>
<p>"Obama supporters don’t think in terms of “master” and “servant.”</p>
<p>may be. How about Prophet Obama and his deciples?</p>
<p>Dissecting a political and/or business relationship is one thing, but amateur psychoanalysis and judgment of a marriage is another. Re #18 “I figure Hil and Bil gave up their privacy based on his behavior.”…why is it that folks get to invade her privacy and consider it a public right…give me a break. Their marriage is no-one’s business. The only morals and ethics involved in this thread is the mean-spiritedness of some of the posters. Surely as parents we expect a loftier dialogue, and we should follow the same standards.</p>
