To Avert Repeat of 2008, Clinton Team Hopes to Keep Bill at His Best

Bill Clinton wants to play a central role in his wife's presidential run, though he was often a frustrated and unpredictable presence in 2008, this time, advisers are trying to harness his gifts and rein in his impulses.

Advisers demand a "no open fly" zone when Bill is around women and warn against his smoking cigars while the political papparazzi are around.

"I will do everything in my power to get back into the white house, uh, get my wife back in, that is. That depends on what is is, of course, but that said, it is what it is."
