Why Hillary Clinton Should Divorce Bill Clinton: Reason #4

Mr. Bill Clinton might have actually caused Hillary the Democratic nomination for the 2008 primary elections, after all.

How can we fully explain this? Hillary Clinton went from presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party to runners up. How did she go from "It's her turn, she's got the nomination all but wrapped up" to losing to Barack Obama, the rookie Senator from Illinois, a guy loaded with much baggage, a guy who has never held one executive office, and perhaps the most liberal person who ever ran for America's highest office?

No loops around it, one reason Hillary lost to Barack was Bill Clinton. His careless remarks and insinuations about Obama being another Jesse Jackson. His injecting race into the campaign. His childish tirades and temper tantrums on the campaign trail. His giving the impression that a Hillary Clinton presidency could be a third term for President Clinton.

The political reality is simply this: Bill has become too costly to Hillary's political future. For that reason, Mrs. Clinton must distance herself from the former president. But how can she do this when they are married? By by making Mr. Clinton her former husband.

Well, sort of ~ Hillary may sweeten the deal by keeping the Clinton last name, since that name recognition still sounds like a winner. Or is there any legal way for Bill to force Hillary to drop his last name after the divorce? I don't know of one. Do you?
