Too bad HRC can't have Bill by her side while campaigning

[Divernan]

But there are unique circumstances when you have a world famous spouse and where she needs to be seen to be running on her own record and abilities, not her husband's, and where Bill being the larger than life guy that he is, would distract attention from her. You would think, though, that when she returns from a grueling three day campaign trip, that she would want to have his support and company, and he would want to be there for her. It would be some quality, private, together time if they baby-sat their grand daughter together. One year old grandbaby tucked in bed by 8 p.m. latest, open a bottle of wine and decompress with a loving spouse after a grueling week? All marriages have their ups and downs, but there are times when it's all about spouses just being there.

Headline: Bill Clinton rocks out in the Hamptons while Hillary baby-sits

Bill Clinton partied with rock stars including Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Jon Bon Jovi, John Mellencamp and Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters in the Hamptons Friday night while wife Hillary Clinton sat home baby-sitting their granddaughter.

Spies told Page Six that Clinton was the first guest at an afterparty hosted by Jimmy Buffett at the Blue Parrot in East Hampton for the Bill Murray–Bruce Willis movie “Rock the Kasbah.”

“Clinton . . . held court at the bar,” said a spy. “He said he’d had to pick up Hillary coming back from a three-day campaign trip, but that she went home to baby-sit their granddaughter.”

Wow! What a guy! Your spouse gets home from an exhausting 3 day campaign swing
for President. You make the PR appearance to pick her up, but then take off to party hearty in the Hamptons.

Here's the spin Chelsea puts on her parents' separate activities:

Most recently, taking the reins on Charlotte’s care came after a three-day campaign trip. “My husband Marc and I were at a dinner for a friend who recently got a new job, and my dad was out with friends, so my mom babysat which was really nice,” Chelsea, 35, tells PEOPLE in an interview for the new issue on newsstands Friday.

Dad is "out with some friends" - not exactly an accurate a description as "rockin' out with Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen," etc. and it's not like he & his wife are even staying together - Bill's out in the Hamptons; HRC is in Manhattan. And it's also not like there isn't a full-time Nanny and Chelsea & Marc couldn't have gone to their posh evening at The Palm unless HRC was able to babysit.

1. They can live thier personal lives however they find to work for them.

3. They certainly can, but she deserves better, and always has.

8. Her campaign is not going well...

…and is pretty much in a free fall.

I think it's a bit sad that (and pathetic of Bill) to have spent the time with movie stars instead of his wife.

I think she's always been the smarter of the two. He's a charismatic wunderkind, but she seems to have the brains and the empathy. After all she's been through with him, I'm sure his "charm" can be nauseating to her.

Something that strikes me, is that they are oh-so yesterday, and establishment. I'm sure history will treat him well, as far as his Presidency goes. I'd put him in the top ten for sure. However, our country is in an anti-establishment mood right now. I don't think Bill appearing with Hillary on the campaign trail would really move the needle. It may even backfire.

2. Goooood grief!

4. him campaigning for her will be tricky

every dem would want a popular former pres stumping for them. otoh, she needs to be clear that this is hillary volume one not bill volume three.

its the undecideds they have to be concerned with. her fans wont care and her critics wont convert due to him. its the rest they have to wonder whether he steals too much of the spotlight.

as to the weekend plans, meh. after being out with people all week, i could see her wanting some alone time with someone who is not going to analyze the campaign with her. and the baby is too young for that thankfully

6. Valid point re weekend plans.

5. Frankly I would prefer Hillary decides to spend her time with Charlotte, giving up her push for prez

But that's just me.

7. Bill and Hill's "quality time", will improve now that the e-mail

bullcrap is in the rear view mirror. Meanwhile, I'm sure we can count on you for any updates on

the baby sitting crisis in the Clinton household.

Thanks in advance.
