Well... yes and no. I'd expect anyone to campaign aggressively for their spouse. But Bill Clinton is stepping on some toes.

DEM BIGS URGING 'ABRASIVE' BUBBA: COOL IT!


On a This Week Sunday morning panel discussion a few weeks ago, one of the panelists suggested that Bill Clinton might be somewhat threatened by Hillary potentially overshadowing his presidency, and with his charisma and rhetoric actually might be deliberately undermining her campaign. Despite campaigning for her, he might have ulterior reasons for not wanting her to win.

That's in the same mode as liberal pundits who (as I mentioned above) think that Bill and Hillary, being true progressive liberals, will at some point have to stand aside and let Obama, the first black man with wide popular support, be elected president. And that this would be the ultimate national healing for past U.S. racism, to elect a black man president, bla bla bla, liberal social theory ad nauseum.
