I've begun to discount the Clinton Imperial Plan theory. Sure, Hillary is an ambitious opportunist, but not Bill. Bill is basically a lazy person who takes the easiest way out of everything. I think Bill is just going to be happy with riding the periphery and earning speaking fees. It's why he became president IMHO. A former governor of Arkansas might book two speeches a year from the Elks Club in Hope and Hot Springs. The perks from being president are many and enduring.

The only way Bubba would participate in some familial run for the Whitehouse in 2008 would be by death threat from Hillary. But we all know Bubba can be scarce when he wants to be..........

In all honesty, I've thought much the same as you've related here. Would Bill really want to be "First Man" to Pres. Hillary? And perhaps more importantly, would Bill want Hillary to potentially (in her mind) create a more stellar legacy than he? I think Bill gives her lipservice about what a fine president she'd make, but she's not all that smart, politically, and I'm sure she depends upon his political instincts. He'd figure out a way to torpedo her presidential run, without her ever knowing it.
