72. Well, that and.....
Bill's micromanaging should send chills up the spine. To the Clinton's I'm afraid, this would be nothing but Bill's third term, Hillary's first and Obama may or may not even be recognized.

Not to mention, it would be terribly unfair to Obama to have to endure the embarrassment of say another Lewinsky, Trooper gate, Flowers, Jones scandal, true or fabricated, haunting his whole term.
Obviously we'll never know the validity of those past claims against Bill, thats not the point, but it is a fact that Bill had to spend a tremendous amount of time defending himself against them, baggage Obama doesn't need. Bill, was for that time in history, a good President. He did some good things for this country. I have no doubt in my mind that Obama couldn't be every bit as good or better even with the absence of Bill and Hillary.

Now, on the issue of getting votes. Obama will pick up some R's and I's straddling the fence. Some Republicans may stay home. With Hillary on the ticket they will do anything but stay home. Conservatives have a genuine dislike for Bill and Hillary and they will do anything to keep Hillary or Bill out of the WH again.

With Barr lurking in the shadows, Obama can pick up the Presidency easily.

Thats just my opinion.
