"The father-son connection is nothing compared to husband-wife."

Charles Krauthammer on dynastic presidential politics. Bush, father and son, is one thing, but Clinton, husband and wife is quite another:

The relationship between a father and an adult son is psychological and abstract; the connection between husband and wife, concrete and quotidian.

Are Bill and Hillary concrete and quotidian? Put more plainly: They live together.

George Bush, pere, didn't move back into the White House in January 2001....

From day one of Hillary's inauguration, Bill will have had more experience than her at everything she touches....

The cloud hovering over a Hillary presidency is not Bill padding around the White House in robe and slippers flipping thongs. It's President Clinton, in suit and tie, simply present in the White House when any decision is made. The degree of his involvement in that decision will inevitably become an issue. Do Americans really want a historically unique two-headed presidency constantly buffeted by the dynamics of a highly dysfunctional marriage?

Well, do we? Krauthammer unintentionally makes it sound kind of fascinating.
