Wow. Hillary has gone from being an author would could sell over a million, with Living History, to one who can’t crack 200,000 hardcover sales with her latest book. Wow. Just wow.

I expect she is still running for pres and will have strong support. But I think her bad book tour and slow sales show that there is not great excitement about the Clintons anymore. If there ever was.

Strong support, hmm..

I’ve spoken with a few of the party-line liberals I know (a few oddball family members, a few co-workers) extensively on this topic, and they mainly seem to support her because of this perception that she’s a shoe-in electorally.

But here’s the kicker: while they’re not crazy about her personally (not liking the “Clinton baggage,” not liking the idea of a dynasty, thinking she’s shrill, etc), they know that she’ll stack the courts for their pet causes. They’re looking at the ages of certain Supreme Court members, and they’re betting that the court system will be theirs for a generation.

I despise their politics, but their long view on things is remarkable.

I would have expected at least a million feverish feminists to buy her book just for sisterly support. Guess not. It may be that the most fatal blow to a politician's ambitions is indifference among the base.

Hillary’s day is done. She will never be president or a senator or anything—too old, too played out. Sad really —in 2008 she would have been a better choice than Obama. I feel we would be in better shape with her than the Boy-Clown. She should just faid away!
