David Brooks and Gail Collins blog about the candidate’s spouses. Interesting comment by Gail:
I’m sticking to my original conviction, though. We’ve had a couple of
first ladies who affected policy in a negative way, by being
overprotective of failing spouses (Edith Wilson, Nancy Reagan). And
we’ve had a couple who captured the American imagination in a way that
made them significant in their own right (Frankie Cleveland, Jackie
Kennedy). But the only two who had a real impact on policy in the White
House were Eleanor Roosevelt and Hillary Clinton.
