Hillary Clinton’s quiet campaign for President
Washington Times ^ | April 6, 2013 | Lisa M. Ruth

Hillary Clinton is running for President in 2016. Her silence gives it away.

Rand Paul made his intentions clear by boisterously launching a filibuster against CIA appointee John Brennan and making a stand on immigration. He has been on the cover of newspapers and magazines, making proactive speeches and commenting on the statements of others. He is, clearly, positioning for a run in 2016.

Hillary Clinton is taking a different, quieter, approach.

Clinton knows what the campaign will look like and how hard it will be. She knows she could retire and speak on talk shows and conference circuit, write her book and maybe even relax.

But Hillary Clinton also likely feels the pull of destiny, the possibility of winning the presidency, the possibility of redemption.

Clinton is building, quietly and carefully. Last week, long-time Clinton ally James Carville talked in glowing terms about Hillary Clinton and her capabilities. He discussed the Super PAC, Ready for Hillary that is trying to lure her into running in 2016 and how the group is trying to build grass-roots support for Clinton. Clinton stepped out of politicking when she became Secretary of State, he explained, so the Super PAC is working to rebuild her political base. It is also, of course, raising money.

Carville’s public appearances also reminded the public Clinton is still here, still viable.

We do not yet know when or how Clinton will announce her candidacy, but we do know it will not be accidental or unplanned.

I was about to comment that her periodic disappearances from public over the next few years will be to accompany a probably ongoing regimen of plastic surgery,although at this point it kinda needs a come-along for best results.

However I too think she has larger neurological/alcoholism issues.

How can it be a quiet campaign when every news agency is already pushing it?

No doubt. She makes Jodi Arias look like a one-hit wonder.

Which will be used by the MSM to bring out the pity, rather than she's not fit, vote.

All from their play book.

Rumor that Hillary is under “HOUSE ARREST” for money laundering charges.
Check Hillary and Chelsey’s financials.
