Maybe to the editors of the New York Post it's not. To hillary it is.
hillary may be a total witch and a totalitarian bitch but there is no doubt she and her assembled court-in-waiting is a crafty one. She doesn't tilt with windmills. She runs them.
She is making herself all things to all people plus setting a precedent for her run in 2008. If she loses in the polls it may be possible she can win it all in the Congress if the Democrats can get their majorities back. This little flap will be long forgotten and buried by the time 2008 rolls around - but the precedent won't.
This sets a precedent - a good one - for her to gain her ambitions!
'I'm not ambitious, I just want to take over the country.'
