Why They Stay: Sex Scandals, Deals, and Hidden Agenda of Eight Political Wives

By Anne Michaud

Why Do Good Women Stay With Bad Men? Are Political Wives are Just as Calculating as Their Infamous Husbands? Or Do They Have Other Motivations?

Wall Street Journal Reporter Provides Insights from Her Years on the Campaign Trail and Thorough Research

As a leading political reporter, Anne Michaud covered Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign, Anthony Weiner's 2005 mayoral bid and Eliot Spitzer's rise and fall as New York's governor from 2006 to 2008. Few folks have had the front row seat to the spectacular fall from grace of these politicians and the women who endured the cataclysm with them.

Which got her wondering--as so many of us have--why did most of these women stick it out--or stay for as long as they did? Were they simply doing the Stand By Your Man blues, or did they have other motivations?

Why They Stay: Sex Scandals, Deals, and Hidden Agenda of Eight Political Wives is the result of her musings and her deeply researched and fascinating analysis.

Now a Wall Street Journal reporter, Anne has chosen to look at eight couples and explore the similarities between them-how the women responded to the crisis and its aftermath. These women made bold decisions that revealed their own agendas. 

Hillary & Bill Clinton: One masterful decision launched her political career 

Jackie & John F. Kennedy: Coping in bed and all the way to the bank 

Eleanor & Franklin D. Roosevelt: A lifeless marriage sparks a social champion 

Marion Stein & Jeremy Thorpe: Riding out British scandal to provide for her sons 

Wendy & David Vitter: Married to the Party versus married to a man 

Silda Wall & Elliot Spitzer: Real-life drama spawns TV show The Good Wife 

Huma Abedin & Anthony Weiner: How to win against a man and the Media 

Melania & Donald Trump: A foreigner's desire to live the American dream 

 Anne found some interesting correlations between all of them and Elizabeth Woodville, the "White Queen" of English history. A widow, she married Edward IV for love, endured his promiscuity to stay and wield power, and ultimately, outlasted him to build the Tudor legacy through engineering her daughter's marriage to Edward's successor.

Anne looked at 5 factors in her books­--how deeply are these women committed to being the family emotional caretaker, how patriarchal values drive their actions, how motivated are they about building a family legacy, the degree of which financial and emotional security drives their actions, and do they have a sense of patriotism that inspires them to overlook the misdeeds of their husband for the greater good. She assigned each a "White Queen Quotient" measured against Woodville's iconic role as the ultimate political spouse in the face of scandalous male behavior.

While we as spectators can only speculate about what drives them, Why They Stay makes a great case for what causes each of these women to play out their roles as stay-beyond-the-embarrassment wives. If Hillary Clinton had left her marriage, she might only be known as the spurned wife of a retired politician. Instead, she became the first woman to run for U.S. president on a major party ticket, a U.S. Senator and Secretary of State. These political wives aren't powerless pawns. They are shrewder than you expect. Why They Stay pulls back the curtain to reveal why women throughout history stand by their man...for better and for worse. 

In addition to her reportage at the Wall Street Journal, Anne previously wrote a nationally syndicated op-ed column for Newsday from 2008 to 2018. She has won more than 25 writing and reporting awards and has twice been named "Columnist of the Year," by the New York News Publishers Association and the New York State Associated Press Association. Her work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, Newsweek, BusinessWeek.com, Crain's NY Business, Cincinnati Magazine and more. Anne has appeared on numerous television and radio programs, including WNYC's The Brian Lehrer Show, NY1's Reporters' Roundtable and Fox 5 News WNYW.

Did you know it is estimated that 70% of wealthy families will lose their wealth by the second generation and 90% will lose it by the third?

For 25 years as an Attorney Kaye Williams observed life stories and gained insights on building generational wealth. Kaye is an Attorney, a Commonwealth Fellow, and a proud Mum of three. She has helped business owners and professionals find joy in their wealth today and view personal planning as a part of a success mindset. Kaye lays out the critical element in her Amazon best-selling book “7 Legacy Steps to Building Generational Wealth”.

Kaye is on a mission to demystify and provides simple, practical personal development steps that anyone can take to start the generational wealth-building journey today.

Kaye is inspired by her Mother, to whom her book is dedicated. Her Mum was born in the 1930s grew up in the 1940s and ’50s. Given the economics of the time, 1940’s, her formal schooling ended at age 11 or primary school. In the 1950s as a young adult, she was caught in a hurricane, holding her toddler niece. Running across the churchyard as a shortcut as she struggled to make it home, and was fortunately blown into the fork of a tree where she was rescued and sheltered at the local church. She called it her second chance at life and grabbed every opportunity with both hands. Her formal schooling ended early, but she didn’t stop there. Life didn’t hand it to her so she went after it. She was entrepreneurial, learning how to sew, and using the income from sewing to self-educate. 



Kaye’s Mum had sensible and highly effective money management skills few could ever match; yet was able to leave a legacy of love, value systems, and commitment to excellence. Her powerful story is shared during this intriguing interview.



Starting from a typist pool, she self-educated in her career with Government until, up to her retirement, she had all the qualifications to retire as a senior secretary to a Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Trade. But her biggest skill was her natural financial savvy. At the time as a young child, Kaye didn’t realize that she had a front-row seat to her mother’s ability to save, invest grow, and yes, enjoy her money. She had a comfortable retirement. A generous, giving person, Kaye’s Mum still enjoyed the fruits of her labor and traveled widely – London, toured Europe, Middle East, the USA, and several cruises.



That was indeed a rich inheritance.

A few years ago, Leon McLaughlin was traveling through Mexico, and met a woman who told him about a previous American visitor. The visitor had drained her bathtub of standing water, thinking he was doing her a favor.

Instead, the woman cried. It turned out that was her water supply for a month. Gone down the drain.

The incident brought home to McLaughlin how vital safe, clean water is to people's lives - and how easily it is to take it for granted. But McLaughlin wasn't going to take it for granted.

He had an idea that could bring life-sustaining water to the woman in Mexico and millions around the world for mere pennies a gallon.

It is a fascinating journey of one person's determination to make a difference.

McLaughlin, a Cleveland native, arrived in Seattle three decades ago. He worked as the staff adviser at the Paramount Theatre until the early-1990s, then landing at the Seattle Repertory Theater and investing a bit in real estate. By the mid-1990s, McLaughlin had another idea - selling coffee-making equipment in Canada.

The coffee business and McLaughlin's global travels got him interested in one of the key ingredients - safe, clean water. McLaughlin was struck by how much of the world didn't have reliable supply of safe water, whether for drinking, cooking, or even brewing coffee.

He started researching the issue, taking online courses from Sacramento State University in California to get a degree in water management. From there, he created his own company, LAM, LLC, (the name drawn from McLaughlin's initials) to deliver water to developing countries and areas hit by natural disasters such as floods or hurricanes.

All along, McLaughlin did a variety of things to generate income. He ushered nights at the Rep. He sold real estate. And he shined shoes at the Columbia Tower. In fact, his shine stand functioned as both a convenient meeting place for all kinds of informal advisers and the de facto world HQ for LAM, LLC. In 2008, McLaughlin founded the Clean Water Foundation, a non-profit corporation.

McLaughlin came up with an approach elegant in its simplicity. Like a child's Lego ® set, McLaughlin envisioned a water purification system that could be snapped together like the plastic blocks, not dependent upon written instructions, that could be assembled and put into operations anywhere in the world. He identified US manufacturers of purification equipment, piping, water bags for storage, even individual containers so children could get fresh, clean water at a school or hospital and take it back to their families.

It was a powerful idea, but McLaughlin knew he couldn't pull it off by himself. He needed a partner with truly global reach. He found just such a partner only a few miles down Interstate 5 from Seattle's World Vision, the highly regarded global humanitarian agency headquartered in Federal Way, Washington.

World Vision would provide the global distribution network McLaughlin needed to take his idea from the theoretical to the real. When flooding hit Bolivia, McLaughlin got to put his concept to the test. World Vision asked he could install six machines in Bolivia. McLaughlin delivered, pulling together the needed equipment, dispatching it to Bolivia, and making sure it was installed properly and turning out hundreds of gallons of safe, clean water for flood-stricken Bolivians.

Now McLaughlin and World Vision have a new mission. Their goal is to install 100 Water purification machines - a number of schools and hospitals around the world.

It will take a renewed effort by McLaughlin but anyone who knows this determined man with the infectious grin has no doubt he'll find a way to succeed.
