Former first lady isn’t planning White House bid

PLATTSBURGH — Although speculation remains alive that U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton may yet wind up as the Democratic Party’s candidate for president next year, she says she doesn’t lie awake at night dreaming of becoming the first woman president.

Partly because she’s too tired.

"I don’t think like that. I’m so exhausted when I get in bed at night that I immediately pass out,’’ she laughed during an interview with the Press-Republican Editorial Board Friday afternoon.

On a serious note, though, Clinton said she is not thinking of a White House run at this time, even though prominent Democrats such as former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, a presidential candidate himself, say she would make a good leader.

"(Dean is) a friend of mine, and he’s been a very good governor, and I very much appreciate his kind words, but he, and the other people in this race, are going to determine who the next president is going to be,’’ she said.

"Three years ago I didn’t even know I would be sitting here as a senator. ... Right now I am just so interested in what I am learning and the whole process that I’m a part of now.’’

No matter who the Democratic candidate is, Clinton believes her party has a chance to recapture the White House even though polls show President George W. Bush with high popularity ratings.

"It’s hard right now. The atmosphere is so dominated by the administration for obvious reasons, but I do believe evidence and results actually do count for something, and eventually, the president will be held accountable for many of the decisions that he and his colleagues have made over the last several years,’’ Clinton said.

"The country pretty much is divided 50-50, so I think we actually have a good chance. I think that it will come down to turnout.’’

She wasn't running for the US Senate either.

She is soul-less.

Something hillary clinton and I agree on!

[Tamzee]

I don’t think like that

Big-Lie Alert! She's been thinking like that since pigtails...

[independentmind]

Yeah, right. The only thing we know for certain about Hillary is that she is an almost pathological liar.

"I don’t think like that. I’m so exhausted when I get in bed at night that I immediately pass out,’’. Does that mean her and Bill don't fool around anymore?

Does that mean her and Bill don't fool around anymore?

There is a Texas saying: "Don't keep trying to drill a dry hole".

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Bill's been out of the picture for decades.

[independentmind]

Hmmm. My guess it that they haven't done that for years...

Does that mean her and Bill don't fool around anymore?

LOL! He is got the best deal, While she is sound asleep in Washington he is all alone in NY.

[TC Rider]

This thread rated a BARF Alert. Lacking same, I assumed it was about Barbara Bush.

[Graewoulf]

If a democrat denys planning to do something, then that means that they really are planning to do it.

[Piquaboy]

Both these people are life time members of the Liars Club.

[mombonn]

he is all alone in NY.

Somehow I doubt he's all alone very often. The man gives alley cats a good name.

[mombonn]

Of course she isn't planning a bid - she's plotting a draft.

"(Dean is) a friend of mine, and he’s been a very good governor, and I very much appreciate his kind words, but he, and the other people in this race, are going to determine who the next president is going to be,’’ she said.

1. "Friend" hrumph. The "friends" of these people DIE when they become inconvenient; so dear Dean'd better lock step.

2. This soft little muffin jes' don't have no say in who the boys are gonna' select ... shucks if they choose lil ol' Hilly, she'll jes haaave to oblige cause she jes' understands that the men know best.

You all missed the obvious:
"Clinton said she is not thinking of a White House run at this time"
Allow Pres. Bush again by having a sideshow of Dem canidates then throw her in there 2008. -She is a sure bet-
