Senator Hillary Clinton suffers from a couple of “political limitations”. She isn’t a particularly warm or eloquent speaker, especially in front of large audiences. Any woman running for President will face a toughness conundrum for the fact that she will have to constantly prove her strength and be careful about showing her emotions. Not only would Senator Hillary Clinton have to worry about how she displays herself before a hungry nation waiting for a reckless moment to attack, but her marriage has also become a dilemma. Hillary's marriage is making people think twice about electing her. They view her husband as a “one-man tabloid”, a little bit too distracting for the White House. Back in May of 2005 the New York Post ran a photo of Bill Clinton leaving a local restaurant with an attractive woman. The White House wonders if we’re all ready for that again. Bill Clinton is a big guy; known by everyone and loved by many, and has a big personality to go along with his big fame. Some voters question what role he’ll play in Hillary’s administration. With such a huge personality many wonder if he’ll have a less active role in her administration then she had in his. Would he also try to reform health care as well? As we remember Hillary doing during his administration?
