So there we have it: Bill has backed his ‘best friend’ and wife Hillary Clinton for President. That he would do so was never in doubt, of course, but the words he used are what matters. He started his yarn with a tale of courtship: ‘In the year of 1971, I met a girl’. Bill went on to talk of how he first wooed his wife by following her around and started ‘something I couldn’t stop’. But this wasn’t a speech about the former President’s dating techniques. Instead, Bill was trying to reveal the answer to a somewhat less exciting if not frequently discussed question: who is the real Hillary? Despite being in the limelight for going on thirty years, Hillary is still something of an enigma to many. It’s something that she has herself touched on: ‘Look, I am a real person,’ she told a TV show host last September.
