How much of the Hilary dislike do you think stems from her riding Bill's coattails? -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 07:54 58

- Elizabeth Warren would have the same level of distrust from liberals if she had been Bill's wife and taken the same path to the nom - Max Jun 29, 08:16
- I think some of it stems from Bill and the fact that she stayed with him after the humiliation of Lewinsky. - Jim Jun 29, 08:00 9
  - Polling that's out there showed staying with Bill accounts for a large percentage of her lack of support in women in midwestern states. (MI, OH, etc.) -- nm - MDH Jun 29, 08:03

    - and may again! -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 29, 08:05
- ha. Bill wouldn't have been President at all without her. -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 07:56 6
  - but also vice versa -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 29, 07:58 1
    - yes -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 08:01

  - This. -- nm - MDH Jun 29, 07:58
  - do you think she ever gets to where she got to without being first lady? -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 07:57 18

    - That's slightly different than the coat tails argument I think. - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 07:59 1
