While the Clintons lead separate professional lives, they deal with some of the same leaders and issues. The William J. Clinton Foundation works in more than 40 countries on health, climate change and economic development, often collaborating with governments. The annual Clinton philanthropic powwow drew 33 presidents and prime ministers -- from Colombia to Kenya to Turkey.

Mindful of concerns about impropriety, and eager to be judged on her own merits, Hillary Clinton has played down her husband's influence.

Pressed whether she and her husband discussed North Korean leader Kim Jong Il or other foreign issues, Clinton told a Thai interviewer in July: "Sometimes we do, because I really value his advice. But he's so busy in his charitable activities right now that there's no real connection between what he's doing and my official capacity."

Friends say the Clintons talk and e-mail frequently and have always been deeply interested in each other's opinions and ideas. "A lot of the overlap in their interests and work you might see now are probably an outgrowth of having worked together on those issues when they were in the White House," said Doug Hattaway, a spokesman for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

Hope they're doing o.k.  They probably have to be apart a lot more than they've had to in the past.

Hope they caught up with each other this Holiday weekend.  It sucks they are so far apart.  I think the last picture I saw of them together was at a Barbra streisand concet last month.
