She knows that it helps Peter's campaign if she's seen as the good wife who has cookie recipes … They referred to Hillary back in the '92 campaign where she in a sense had to pretend to be the housewife and mother. Does Alicia Florrick have to do that because it helps Peter seem more like a family man? That's what she struggles with."
