Meet the Next President: Hillary Clinton remains coy about run

WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the most dominant figure in the crowded field of Democrats and Republicans mulling a White House bid in 2008, is also the coyest about her intentions.

“I am not thinking about that at all,” the New York Democrat insisted on ABC last week. “I know everybody else is and lots of other people are saying, ‘Oh, she is, she is,’ but the truth is, I don’t think about it. I haven’t made any decision about it because that’s not how I think and how I work.”

Her assertion was seconded by former President Bill Clinton.

“She hasn’t made up her mind, and I know that to be the truth,” he told the network. “We talk about it, and I’ve urged her to think as little about it as possible.”

Pundits find it hard to believe that the only person in the political universe who is not contemplating a presidential campaign by Hillary Clinton is, well, Hillary Clinton. That’s because when she’s on the stump, she sounds very much like someone who is running for president.

“Stand up! Stand up for progressive values and progressive politics!” she exhorted the Take Back America conference in June. “Let’s take back the Congress in November and begin our return-to take back our country.”

With scorching rhetoric, the former first lady implored Democrats to counter the “right-wing Washington Republicans who are determined to set this country on a disastrous path.”

Good article - especially the information included in the latter half.

Hillary doesn't think about running for President, except for every day that goes by. She thinks about it EVERY DAY and to say other wise is to lie or distort the truth. She is a snake and will never see the White house again in her lifetime, except as a visitor. She moved out of the White House stealing some of its furnishings. She said she didn't know they were not hers.

Coy

[sportsterinred]

I dont believe she is human.

[khnyny]

Yep, every day. I'm rather curious too as to what her thesis paper was all about at Wellesley College, seems to be a big secret, lol.

"Stand up! Stand up for progressive values and progressive politics"

Democrat code word for socialism is "progressive" (ashamed to call it what it really is)

Correct interpretation of statement=

"Bend over! Bend over for SOCIALIST values and SOCIALIST politics...."

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Can't wait for the Al Gore / Kerry / Hitlery debates where they rip each other to shreads.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Nothing would galvanize conservatives like a Hillary candidacy.

There is a solid 40% of the electorate who would never, under any circumstances, vote for her.

The only way she could win is if somebody like McCain pulled a Perot.

[Sacajaweau]

I'm sure someone has a copy of the thesis. Someone wrote about...the woman who died in the 9-11 crash in Pennsylvania.

By the way...we have two "known liars" making statements in the article.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Yep. The dem. candidate will be the one who can lose the most blood and still walk away. The scene will be very interesting, though.

Tim Russert:"I've never seen anything like it. Hillary seems to be bleeding ice cubes around her podium."

Brian Williams:"Never mind Hillary. Gore's got what can only be described as sap running freely."

Keith Olberman:"...blue blood??...Kerry has BLUE BLOOD oozing from his pores..."

Bob Shieffer:"..we're screwed..."

[khnyny]

I agree. Hillary is just not a likeable, and therefore; viable candidate, imho. Her "husband" is a big liability too. Bubba should not be in the White House with a lot of free time on his hands, lol.

"Though Clinton is rated as 100 percent liberal by Americans for Democratic Action, she has attempted to position herself as a moderate. For example, she voted to authorize the Iraq war and opposes a specific timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops."

Hildebeast would probably be the most leftwing President in US history. She may try to disguise her true philosophy, but we remember her socialist medical plan.

I know a lot of Democrats that seem amazed when I tell them that Hildebeast is likely to win the RAT nomination.

“She hasn’t made up her mind, and I know that to be the truth,” he (Clinton) told the network.

Well then, that does it for me!

[Mr. K]

Why is her Wellesley College Thesis so secret? Let's hammer on this.... if she wants to be pres. we need to see it.

When I went to college EVERY professor's thesis was freely available in the school library.

[jackv]

What liars.

Bill Clinton told The New Yorker: “I’m sick of Karl Rove’s bull----.” His wife agreed.

Read: We're insanely jealous of Rove's effectiveness and ability to vex us every November.

[Sacajaweau]

They HATE Rove. He's a Master Chess Player. And he's so quiet. Not a peep out of him. Just smiles!!! Our own little puffy Pillsbury dough boy.

Fitzgerald failed in his "job" to "GET ROVE".

Now the Dems are left with cleanup of the Plame Game.

Joe's out of Business. Valerie's out of Business. Matt Cooper is sleeping on the couch. His wife, Mandy Grunwald, is hiding behind Hillary.

Powell and Armitage shot themselves in the foot...along with the FBI Dem Operatives.

And Fitz will never get a Federal Judgeship.

[khnyny]

LOL. "Neuman". (shakes fist)
