Not likely, most people love Clinton (including Bush himself).
Just look what the White House says about Clinton.

Oh, and as a side note: Bush brought and condoned scandals to the White House, so he cost his party the elections.

He's still immensely popular. Since he's not running for office anymore, he's not that much of a political liability. Frankly, he's not going to hurt much. He only got into so much trouble b/c he was the President and a Democrat. Thus, he was the biggest target for the Republicans. The Republicans HATE Hillary already. They think she's worse than him. However, George Bush is soooo unpopular now that Clinton looks much, much better to even some Republicans. I really don't think he's going to hurt her chances at all.
Think about it. His scandal was boinking an intern. However, she was of legal age AND female. Republicans have their own sex scandals on their hands, and some are much worse than a guy having a traditional affair.

No, Hillary already has. She cuts her own throat every time she is seen in public with her face all contorted in that arrogant 'I-am-so-far-above-everyone' expression. She looks like a bitter aging woman on ludes, and her voice has the same tone.
During the telecast of Pres. Ford's funeral, the camera panned the crowd of VIPs. They showed Nancy Reagan, Jimmy & Roselyn Carter, the Sr. Pres. Bush and Barbara Bush, the currant first lady, and Bill & Hillary. Every person they showed looked pensive, polite, and respectful. Except one...you guessed it...Hillary. She looked like she had hemoroids from hell and would not even turn her head in the direction of Bill. Her expression speaks at a much higher volumne than her voice.
By the way...if you really want to learn something...you should check out a video called 'The Clinton Chronicles'. You won't be able to count the skeletons in their closet. Not that anyone is perfect, but this one is a hum-dinger.

Hillary is her own person. She is a very intelligent woman & a strong candidate which is why she has garnered so much support. All the bad has been already rehashed about her & her husband and it's old hat. It's only the stupid & infantile people, like the ones that gave all those asinine answers here, who are obviously too young to vote, that can't understand that.

He's still pretty popular with people who understand the witch hunt he went through was very unfair, and especially with the scandals of the republicans lately. Intelligent people also know & understand the benefits they will garner with a two-for-one presidency.

I don't think she needs the help. But, I think this will remain theoretical, because I don't think she'll get the Democratic nomination. I think she's the Howard Dean of 2008. I think nobody who wants the job will announce before next year, and we're bored and making things up while we wait for primary season.

Hillary's biggest barrier to being elected is Hillary. Politically she is way left of the mainstream, and people seem to see her as unlikeable.

The fact she is a woman will be her greatest barrier, followed be the fact she is a democrat in an america not ready for liberalism.

Hillary's greatest enemy is Hillary. Rampant speculation of her candidacy over the past few years will do nothing but bring her grief. I don't think Obama will win the candidacy either... but what do I know?

Hillarys biggest barrier is being a woman, Bills rep is her 2nd biggest!
