With Hillary's campaign showing signs of increasing disarray, hubby Bubba has, in his own words, 'jumped ship for greener pastures'.
Besides mixing his metaphors, the former President-in-heat had become alarmed at his wife's dismissal of several top aides from her campaign. 'I could have been next. I could see blood in the water and the handwriting on the wall. I figured I would change clubs and trim my sails.'
Pundits have speculated Mr. Clinton's role in Hillary's campaign in recent weeks may be the primary reason for the precipitous collapse of her fortunes and that Mr. Clinton's endorsment may yet be another classic case of 'triangulation' the Clintons are so famous for. As Bill Blogenfelht, senior analyst with the Institute for Political Nebbishes, said 'Man, if he does for Obama's poll numbers what he's does for Hillary's then she's a shoe-in at the Convention'.
The Obama campaign was leery of Mr. Clinton's motives in the wake of his announcement and was keeping him at arm's length until he shows his true colors and declares his major.
