Correct me if I'm wrong, but did Laura and Hillary stand behind

[onecent]

their husbands EVERY SINGLE TIME their husbands spoke while campaigning?????

I think there is an invisible leash there.

1. No, they didn't.

She is there to try and make him look younger. Just makes him look older.

2. Let's face it. Laura has to babysit, in case DUH-bya falls off a bike or something.

Hillary had to get her face our there for her future presidential campaign.

3. I don't think she likes the limelight and it is standard practice for prez's wives...

to stand a step or two back as they are not elected officials.

You'll consistently see Eleanor Roosevelt standing half a step back in a lineup with FDR, Churchill, King and Queen of England, etc.

Nancy Reagan got trashed for walking evenly.

4. AND, were Bush/Cheney and Clinton/Gore on the stage together

at EVERY appearance? No. Nor were Mrs. Cheney or Mrs Gore, the VP's spouses.

So now, if you go to see McCain, you get McCain, Cindy, Palin and Todd, all for the price of one! It's spooky.

[curious one]

5. McLame is old and everyone want to be around to catch him if he falls. Or they are there for

support since he does not have self-confidence!
