Has Hil chilled Bill? Has she muzzled the Big Dog? Has Bubba been banished?
Yes, yes and yes. And the result was win, win, win.
Add the case of the missing husband to the list of reasons why Hillary Clinton saved her political skin Tuesday. He was mostly off the radar for the past week and was nowhere to be seen during her pitch-perfect victory speech that celebrated triumphs in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island. Anyone who thinks all that wasn't planned doesn't follow the orchestrated stagecraft of the Clintons.
The former President is a double-edged sword and the subject of a tug of war within her camp. Even his critics don't deny his skills and popularity in some circles, but his biggest impact on her campaign has been decidedly more negative than positive.
He was supposed to be the bad cop in South Carolina, but ended up becoming a one-man disaster by demeaning Barack Obama as another Jesse Jackson whose appeal to whites was limited. The resulting landslide effectively ended Hillary's quest to split the black vote with Obama and helped him run up large margins and capture more delegates in subsequent states.

She keeps him in a back room where he spends his days ‘polling’ the electorate....
The beast will NOT be able to keep clinochhio hidden for seven weeks. He will appeal to the center sections of Pennsylvania on the race issue. Fast eddie rendell has already slipped and stated that “some conservative democrats might not be ready for a Black president.” Of course they aren’t “ready” for a woman ( or something reported to be a woman) either, but that was not fast eddie’s point. He stands to go down with the beast if Peter Paul’s lawsuit works, so protecting the beast is protecting himself. This Pennsylvania rat primary will be fun to watch.
oh...and cigars.
*smiles*..you picked up quick
Ann has some observations here.
HILLARY: STAND BY SOME OTHER MAN
For some reason the mod pulled the associated thread after only 2 replies?
I thought the albatross was campaigning for her all over Texas. He probably did her some good there.
He’s a liability, but a divorce would be deadly for her, politically, IMO.
He’s good on a leash, a long leash.
He is resting up to be VP.
Yes, but I was most concerned that Freepers has access to Ann’s acidic wit, in her blog posting.
Bubba can’t campaign effectively for anyone but himself.
We knew that back in the late 90s. Apparently McAuliffe and crew needed a reminder.
I understand that readers/listeners will easily confuse her with Bill Clinton if her last name is used, rather than her first name...but that's the point. If she wins, he will be in the White House again.
Thanks for posting that link! I wonder why it got pulled?
May I assume that you’re in the concrete business?
