Experience check

Dick Morris, former Clinton advisor and political pollster/analyst, comments:

During the Bill Clinton presidency, it became obvious that the president and the first lady were locked in a zero sum game of perception. The stronger people perceived her, the weaker they felt he was. Early in his tenure, news stories were rife about Hillary’s extraordinary influence on appointments, policy and political strategy. Each of these leaks sapped confidence in Bill Clinton’s strength and led to a drop in his ratings.

The solution was to exile Hillary from the White House. She stopped attending strategy meetings, no longer had a direct or public role in policy formulation and redoubled her schedule of foreign travel and writing.

A major part of HRC's pitch is her "experience." I've always questioned exactly what she did do (successfully) in the White House, but this reminds us that for a large portion of WJC's presidency, she wasn't even there. Sure, she could advise Bill remotely, but if she stopped attending meetings, how much involvement did she really have? Is this why she doesn't really want to release the internal communications between Bill and herself?
