If/When Hillary loses the nomination, will she run under a third party or just divorce Bill?

Me

[Carling]

They have a longstanding understanding. He is seldom in DC with her, she is hardly ever in Ny with him.

It's even deeper than that. When was the last time the two of them appeared on the stump together? I'm guessing that the Hillary campaign is debating when to pull Bill onstage with her. I'm surprised they haven't done this yet in Ohio...or have they? Maybe they consider him too much of a liability to allow him to suck all of the air out of Hillary's room?

Nader/Clinton sounds good to me.. < /humor >

[buccaneer81]

because of those three little words... ...Secret Service protection.

I can do it in two words...

Spousal Immunity.

As long as they're married they can't be forced to testify against each other.

[Non-Sequitur]

I told you...she’ll never divorce the bum as long as he’s alive, or marry anybody else if he dies first, because of those three little words...Secret Service protection.

She'd get it anyway, federal law gives the former first lady protection. No, she won't divorce him because of those nine little words - spouses can't be forced to testify against each other.

[SandRat]

Spouses can’t be compelled to testify against the other in a court of law for either civil or criminal matters. So for mutual protection they will never divorce.

[Eye of Unk]

If I was head of her Secret Service detail I would make sure she has no access to weapons of a high rate of fire.

She is going to be so humiliated she will not recover, I suspect a nervous breakdown or a psychotic break is just over the horizon, her kind cannot acknowledge defeat.

This is not over. There is plenty of dirt on Obammie. You just wait. Tuesday or Wednesday the Gnu Yak Thymes will run a page 1 hit job on him, or maybe the Chicago Tribune. Yea, that’s right, Hometown Paper finds out the goods on the Dasing Senator. Mark my words, he is toast.

[Shady]

That’s Dashing..... Sorry!

[jslade]

As for her and Bill, I do wonder exactly to what extent they care about keeping this pretense.

Two words....."spousal immunity".

[Squantos]

My gauge of her fuglieness’s standings in this election is too watch real clear politics web site for latest polls. Thus far a large number of polls have her winning in Texas and Ohio .

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/tx/texas_democratic_primary-312.html

Why is everyone shoveling dirt on her ? She is still a threat to be attacked day and night IMO.

On the same site it is interesting to see if she runs McCain will win, If Obama runs he will beat McCain.

Of course these are just polls.......

The MahaRushie has opined that this is never going to happen. There have been rumors about their impending divorce since the days of Adam & Eve and it hasn't yet happened, so likely it never will. The reality is she is NOTHING without him. Zip, zero, zilch, nada.

[hkp123]

Arkancide is the answer. Watch the claws come out this week. It will be interesting. She will do ANYTHING to do it.

[RichInOC]

Except if she remarries after he dies.

I think she’ll go the way of Chappaquiddick Teddy: go on to be a bulwark of socialism for her state, and ditch her inconvenient partner in a sinking car.

[digger48]

If she loses, divorce Bill? Possible. More likely become Majority Leader in the Senate by kicking Harry to the side of the road.

Kill off Charlie Rangel, run for the House from Harlem. She could be the first First Lady turned Senator turned House Representative, kick Nancy to the curb, and voila, 3rd in line to the Presidency.

[RichInOC]

That said, you do have a good point as regards the spousal exemption.

[exit82]

I think it is more like:

A wife cannot testify against her husband and vice versa.

They are in a mutual protective society until death do they part.

Which is why they don’t live together.

[donmeaker]

I figure Bill knows where the local high schools are.

[xjcsa]

How is this not in breaking news?

[varina davis]

Those divorce papers have probably been ready for a long time.
