I cast my vote in the Virginia primary election several weeks ago, but I've been traveling in Oregon recently, where the primaries are yet to happen, and for perhaps the first time in the state's history, they will matter. (Because Oregon's primaries are so late in the political calendar, usually a candidate has already secured the nomination before the state's delegates are assigned.) And what do you know -- Bill Clinton and I were in the same place this morning, so I went to hear him speak about his wife's campaign for President.

The Clinton family is somewhat of an anomaly. We all know about the scandal that plagued Bill and Hillary's personal life (and bled over into their public lives in the political circus of the late 90's), but to hear the former President speak today, it would be easy to think him the most supportive husband in America. He's clearly passionate and enthusiastic about Hillary's campaign. Politics aside, this was refreshing to see.

Seeing President Clinton speak about what Hillary will do in the White House got me to thinking -- what will his role be if his wife becomes President? All our previous presidents have been married men, so their wives were First Ladies. When James Buchanan was sworn in as an unmarried President, his niece took over First Lady duties. So, if our President is a woman, will we have a First Man (Lord? Husband?) instead? Or will we still have a First Lady, and give the job to Hillary's daughter Chelsea? What do you think?
