Hillary's claim to be "ready to lead on Day One" rests on having served as de facto Veep when Bill was in office. Now it's his turn, wielding the hatchet in New Hampshire as he hacked away at the "fairy tale" that is Obama's candidacy and taking Hillary's place in South Carolina so she could focus on Super-Duper Tuesday contests. Some party elders were disturbed enough to tell him to knock it off. Some...
