Bill Clinton has to decide whether to leave Arkansas and run for president, or to remain and guard his legacy. The Arkansas constitution mandates that whenever the governor leaves the state, power passes to the Lieutenant Governor or the Senate President Pro Tem. If Hillary is elected, she will be Arkansas’ first female president. Clinton, intensely ambitious, is torn; possibly he could be a long-shot presidential candidate. Now ambition has goaded this Democrat to the brink of a presidential bid, and a fundamental choice. He was elected governor at 32, defeated once, then reelected for four more terms. His accomplishments include educational reforms: he raised the sales tax, investing the proceeds in improved schools.
