He's past his prime
Bill Clinton is past his prime; they really should take him off the campaign trail altogether. It seems like every time she gets her mind wrapped around one message or another, he muddies it up. It's almost like he's got a passive-aggressive thing going; he's apparently working for her to win, but deep down he doesn't really want her to. He's definitely lost the magic touch, though, that he had when he was the "Obama" -- the young, upstart candidate from Hope who wanted to change things in Washington.
Seeing the Clinton's campaign now reminds some of us who were inspired by the Hillary and Bill-Al and Tipper campaign back then of how entrenched they've become and how far they've moved past their prime politically.
I'm not talking age; I'm in their age group. They just both seem flat and tired and "so 90's" as the kids say. They don't seem to have come into this time. Al Gore moved into the future; they seem stuck in the past.
I'm coming to believe Hillary when she talks about what a hard job it is to be president. Isn't that George Bush's mantra? If the job is too hard, then stick with the one you've got. I'm voting for the person with energy, passion and enthusiasm for the job who respects its importance but doesn't seem weighed down by it.
