Typical Hillary-- offering up a "duh" statement that the MSM just eats it up like a sundae with hot fudge on top. Ooh, and the timing, classical crass Hillary opportunism at work.

As one who used to affiliate with Dem circles, I can tell you that all this hype about a Hillary nomination is way overrated. She is deeply unpopular with the core of the Democratic Party, she's regularly thrashed over at the Dem blogs and any polls favorable to her so far are only a reflection of name recognition-- Lieberman after all was the "frontrunner" before Johnny K. in 2004 and, I guess you could say he has a nice career in the private sector now.

Hillary has a better shot at the Dem nod than Lieberman did, and she is a contender for it, but a far weaker contender than a lot of Freepers think. Of all the ironies, most Dems seem to agree with most of us these days about her-- she's too unscrupulous and treacherous to be trusted. Even among young single liberal Democratic women she inspires distrust and dislike.

These days the Dems seem to be converging around Barbara Boxer as there nominee, or maybe Evan Bayh or Warner. But Hillary is in no way a frontrunner-- she's already in hot water and getting worse every day.

Me thinks the NYTimes will have a few comments on
this and will find a way to downplay the exact
wording of her highness. Now, with Bill and Bush, Sr. Buddie-Buddies...there is something in the air and
the shrewd ones are making some headway...watch the
talking heads and their mimi kimmies..on this one..Jake

Your analysis is right on. Hillary has no chance with the far left so she is trying to position herself as a moderate. An interesting strategy, to say the least.
