Does she get credit for the good, blame for the bad, positives because she has him as an advisor, or negatives because she will be perceived as leveraging her husband's position?
Or should it have no effect?
I dunno. I remember that when Bill ran in 1992, they said "you get two for one" or something like that. That was criticized.
So what will happen? What SHOULD happen? I'm guessing relatively non-partisan answers will be best, because this issue could come up again with others in the future.
Thanks.

She gets experience points for being in the white house for 8 years as the first lady. She helped him be the man he was, and helped run the country. I think it looks good on the resume.

I think it will most definitely have an effect, and well it should. She and Slick Willy are cut from the same mold, have the same ideals, the same corrupt principles, plus she was a part of his presidency by her involvment in the health care fiasco.
And I hope her hubby's past - and hers - comes back and bites her right in the butt.
The absolute worst thing that could ever happen to America would be to have this "woman" elected president. You think Bush is bad? You ain't seen nothin' yet...let Billary get elected, and you'll be wishing for Bush to be back in office!

i dont think there should be any relevance between hillary and bills policies and views on anything. bill is not and can not run for office. this is hillary's time to show what she can or cant do and people need to leave her FORMER president husband out of it, since he will not be involved in the running of our country like he has before.

Absolutely NOTHING! She's her own creepy person. I think she should get CREDIT for the health insurance debacle during Bill's time.
As much as I dislike Bill and think he was a sleazy president, I dislike her even more. She is a socialist that insists that she's a moderate (LIE). She will say anything to get elected.

I don't think that it should be a factor. Let her run on her own merits.
The reality in this country though is that it will be a factor and hopefully it will help keep her from being elected.

she should run on her own merits, but it will be impossible for her to do that. Between the media and the right wing everything will be out in the open.

No effect. She runs on her own merits.

SHE GETS NO CREDIT FOR BILL. ALL SHE GETS IS CREDIT FOR DEALING WITH HIS WOMANIZING OTHER THAN THAT WHAT DID SHE DO? NOTHING LIKE SHE DID AS SENATOR OF NY. NOTHING.
HITLLARY WHERE ARE YOU? NY IS MISSING A SENATOR. YOU PROMISED TO FINISH YOUR TERM. WHAT OTHER LIES HAVE YOU TOLD US?
