Steven Levitt has written about the economics of gold-digging (as it is probably practised by the wannabe standard-issue trophy wife) and it makes for very interesting reading. For anyone who cares about etymology - NYT has an article on the origins of the phrase trophy wife. Not surprisingly, the phrase trophy husband has an entirely positive connotation :
Fortune reported that more than one-third of the magazine’s “50 Most Powerful Women in Business” in 2002 had stay-at-home spouses. The magazine called them “trophy husbands,” not for their looks or charm but because they deserve trophies for trading roles to help their wives’ careers flourish.

The pajamas media article was thought provoking.
I liken Hillary to the Indian activist Vandana Shiva. They have valid view points but both are polarizing due to their "shrillness" - Obama's strength is his calm demeanor.
For all the change messages, he is very practical and is surrounding himself with former Clintonistas.
