Does Bill hurt Hillary?

Apparently some 'high level' Democrats have asked Bill to tone it down with his attacks on Obama. The former president, either because he's listened to the requests or because he's playing on a new strategy seems to have done just as much.

Some see Bill Clinton's actions as being 'out of control' when it comes to falling in with the rest of Hillary's campaign. This has raised the question of what role he would be playing if Hillary makes it to the White House, and if Hillary's staff there would be able to keep him 'under control'.

So when all this is added together, is he actually hurting Hillary's chances to win the nomination?

It's a valid question and I have to say to an extent, I think he is. For the most, I like Bill Clinton. However, he really needs to step back and let Hillary just run. Right now, he's putting himself in the limelight a bit too much, and I think this can potentially turn off voters that might be undecided and wish to see Hillary being Hillary, not Bill Clinton's wife.

The best thing Bill Clinton can do now is to step back, be supportive, be there for Hillary; but be a background figure of sorts. A reminder of the good old days, but also a willing participants in letting Hillary execute the changes that this country needs.
