The First Gentleman?


Here's an interesting article from The Economist about the potential first ladies, er, people.

It is clear, too, that the big winners from the debate will be the couple who pioneered the “two-for-one” model of the presidency. The array of second and third wives on the Republican side makes it more difficult for the Republicans to dwell on Mr Clinton's indiscretions (at least the couple stayed together). The Giulianis will provide a particularly rich target in any tit-for-tat claims of spousal abuse. And the fact that all the candidates are giving their partners a big role in their campaigns makes it less remarkable that Mrs Clinton is relying on the former president. The gods are smiling on the Clintons once again.
