I don't see what the problem is here. If the Clintons are as opportunistic, manipulating, and scheming as the majority of posters at TPM Cafe seem to think, then it will be just another day at the office for Bill. I mean, the Clintons have no honor or loyalty (Hillary pulled the trigger on Vince Foster, you know).

Hillary won't drop out until half-way through Obama's second term.

Reminds me of Kennedy's speech in 1980.

The only hope is that Hillary's harboring aspirations for another shot in 2012 or so and/or a shot at Harry Reid's post as Senate Majority Leader. If Bill can't restrain himself from being obnoxious, he just may blow any chances she might have for either of these.

Bill Clinton would see his convention speech as an opportunity to distance himself from the bitter taste people got from the divisive campaign by calling for unity and healing. It should be easy to dismiss the negative attacks as old school politics. He could co-opt Obama's position and say something like...

"what we've all learned from during this election is that people want to move beyond the game playing. We are on the cusp of something new, something exciting about America. People want to talk about the sun rising, not how hot it's gonna be today."

His legacy would mend, and he could still be a major player, not only within the party, but perhaps an Obama Administration.

One can only hope.

Those facts are like saying the Cubs are going to win the world series...that only happens in movies.
