Hillary Clinton Watch: Two for One?
Could Bill Clinton take over his wife’s Senate seat if he becomes the first first husband? Some think so.
The Examiner: Some mull idea of Sen. Bill Clinton
If Hillary Rodham Clinton wins the presidency, some top Democrats would like to see her husband, former President Bill Clinton, appointed to serve out Hillary’s unexpired Senate term.
“As a senator, he’d be a knockout,†said Harold Ickes, who was once a top White House aide to Bill Clinton and now gives behind-the-scenes advice to Hillary. “He knows issues, he loves public policy and he’s a good politician.â€
Some Democrats and political analysts say Bill Clinton would thrive in the world’s greatest deliberative body, much like Lyndon Johnson did before he became president.
“President Clinton would excel in the Senate,†said Paul Begala, who helped Bill Clinton get elected and served in the White House as a top aide.
“Why not?†Begala added. “He excelled as attorney general and governor of Arkansas, he excelled as president and he’s been a model of the modern Senate spouse.â€
Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, agreed.
“Clinton is a natural for the Senate,†Sabato said. “He loves to talk and schmooze. He could be a great vote-organizer. Majority Leader Clinton?â€
A TWOfer and another reason not to vote for Hillary.
Flap thought the polls said voters were tired of the same ol’ politicos.
And why not a three-some?
