“It helps her because we know Bill Clinton and we love Bill Clinton. We know him and his foibles. We know he loves his Dunkin’ Donuts; we know his love for burgers,” said State Representative Patricia M. McMahon, a longtime ally of both Clintons. “It shows that she’s human, too, and appreciates her husband and likes him as much as we do.”
One of the quotes in this article regarding Hillary Clinton (aka Rodham).
However, maybe someone could explain to me that if we all love Bill so much why couldn't he ever seem to muster more than 50% of the popular vote? And let's face it, he couldn't even muster that against Bob Dole (aka oatmeal, floormat, corpse, etc.).
It's one of the myths that I hope gets a silver bullet through the heart during this presidential campaign. Let's face it, everyone knows that Hillary is every bit as charming and warm as Bill is.

Bill Clinton didn't get a majority of the vote, because in 1992 Ross Perot presented the strongest third party challenge since George Wallace. While not as viable in 1996, Perot still garned 8%. Though some of Perot's support came from Republicans, its also likely that he drew independents or voters who normally don't participate.
None of this changes the fact that Bill Clinton is one of the most popular politicians around today.
