Sadly, Our Charming Billy...

... may indeed be squandering his capital of charm.
I hesitated to endorse this web site because I'm such a fan of the would-be first hubby, but I think, after SC, the time has come for Bill to take a little break from the campaign trail.
His harsh language is not only hurting his wife's campaign, but it's hurting his legacy. As Fareed Zakaria pointed out on "Late Edition" this morning, the party (and arguably, the nation) needs Bill, as the first popular Democratic president in recent memory to survive his presidency, to be a statesman, not a political operative.
(Some of) that stuff may have been taken out of context by the press. But the press has always had its own conscience to grapple with, and I wouldn't be holding my breath that it's going to start grappling now. But what the press does is no longer the point.
Bill's staked quite a lot, in the past, on not letting Hillary down, but let's hope that, this time around, he won't stake too much, and lose it for both of them.
Hillary's a respected senator, and he's a respected former president. They'll survive this race, one way or the other, if they can keep some perspective. Easier said than done, but they have a lot of people counting on them to do just that.
