Clinton's First Lady: Hillary
Clip: Season 24 Episode 3 | 2m 26s
First Lady Hillary Clinton was unsatisfied by the traditional role of the First Lady.
First Lady Hillary Clinton was blamed for the poor showing during the 1994 midterm elections. "Voters thought that it was a zero sum game, that for Hillary to be strong Bill would have to be weak, and as a result the perception of Hillary's strength became a perception of Bill's weakness," says Political Consultant Dick Morris.
