They always struck me as a happily married couple too! I cant stand Al, but she always seemed alright to me. I'm sorry they are calling it quits.

Wow. 40 years. I had to check Wikipedia for their ages, because I had no idea they were in their 60s.
And ditto on Munchkin03's ETA.

It is a matter of priorities I guess!

I heard an interview with Mark Halperin, one of the authors of Game Change. He was asked about the book's descriptions of the relationships of the Clintons, the McCains, the Edwards and the Giuliannis. He said you knew there was something wrong when the Clintons had the least dysfunctional marriage of the group.
After 40 years, the Gores just grew apart and decided splitting was better than growing back together? Consign ThetaPrincess on priorities. And I know they said there's been no affair, but I wonder . . . .

It was kind of a rhetorical question. I've always suspected that the Clintons' marriage was based more on ambition--both of them were very determined about what they wanted, and they fit in with each other's life goals and were determined do whatever it took to get the other--and themselves--where they wanted to be. Not that this is a recipe for a bad marriage.
Of those four marriages, it would come to pass that the Clintons were the least dysfunctional. It's well-known in some circles that the McCain marriage is problematic; add to that that the Giuliani and Edwards marriages are kaput now...

Munchkin, I just choken on an Asian salad!
Tipper probably found out that Al won the Nobel Piece Prize.
Seriously, didn't they just buy a multi-million dollar house? In a 50-50 state, no less? What couple who has been drifting apart does that, unless they're doing it for the "other" spouse?

I think it's sad. If you've managed to stay together for 40 years, why bother to split up ... what Munchkin said about the Clintons. Their marriage works because they are both about power and ambition, and she's willing to put up with his running around as long as she gets what she wants otherwise.

This is what I had in mind when I made the statement about priorities.

No Lewinski, no spunk covered dress, no dirty knees, no Oval office.
No trips to South America on taxpayers' dimes
No ill gotten men's rooms in airports
No $1000's of dollars spent on one hooker.
Not even coming out of the closet.
Just remember, it could be worse.

I heard that she found out that he didn't really invent the Internet and was devastated.
Maybe they thought the house could "save" the marriage? 
I kid, but I actually really like Al. Tipper I'm lukewarm about.

Maybe Tipper didn't like the music Al was listening to?

He wants to listen to 2Live Crew and misses album artwork without a parental warning, and she wants to drive something other than a Prius and not be married to a robot.
