Bill Clinton Inhales, with disaster

OTL: Bill Clinton finally figures out how to inhale at his 22nd birthday party. Unfortunately, he drives home higher than a kite and dies in a horrible crash. He therefore never enters politics or marries Hillary Rodham.

Who, if anyone, does Hillary marry? And what, if any, career would she have?

More importantly, the consequences for Arkansas of not having Bill as governor and for the U.S. of not having him as President?

Any thoughts, realistic to wild 'n' crazy, welcome.
 
New Democracy comes later (it will come eventually, there were others like Hart), and once their ideological civil war resolves itself, the New Dealers and ultralibs (Mondale, Dukakis, et al) reassert their authority. Hillary could stay, in her own words, a "Goldwater girl" and become a Rocky Republican.

There was a joke about that wasn’t there?

Bill and Hillary are driving through Little Rock, Hillary points out of the Limo and says; “Look Bill, see that guy cleaning the street, I dated him in high school!”

Bill says; ”Just think honey, if you’d married him instead of me you’d be the wife of a street cleaner instead of the First Lady.”

Hillary leans over, pats Bill’s knee and says; “No Bill, if I’d married him He’d be President of the United States.”
:p

Ouch.

There's a lot of truth to this. Many Americans wonder if Hillary really ran the shop while Bill was in the hot seat.

Hillary would have made her mark in politics with or without Bill. I could also see her becoming a Harvard/Yale law professor. SCOTUS anyone?
 
I think that bloke was a mechanic, Hill ran into him and had a chat and the media asked her the question.

Laura Bush killed a guy and still became first lady, so why can't the same happen for Bill?
