ABC's Kate Snow is apparently no fan of Larry David's HBO original series. On this morning's GMA Snow showed herself utterly incapable of curbing her enthusiasm at the prospect of a presidential run by Hillary Rodham. In to discuss an indication that Hillary might soon be announcing her candidacy, Snow, literally wriggling with excitement, told Robin Roberts:
"It’s the latest sign that maybe, just maybe, we might have a woman trying to run for president of this country.”
Snow claimed that by the end of the week Hillary would be calling on all top New York Dems "not to tell them that she's running, but to get their advice and support, if she goes for it." Right. Shy, retiring Hillary, not telling her Dem minions anything. Just asking advice. Say, why not call it a "listening tour"?
Snow, concerned Hillary might be procrastinating, offered up some unsolicited campaign advice:
"Sen. Clinton hasn't even been to Iowa or New Hampshire. The consensus among smart political thinkers is that she can take a little time now, through the holidays. But Robin, she better start getting organized soon."
Don't worry, Kate - she will.
Later, Snow reported that the campaign had brought in a high-level Democrat to serve as devil's advocate, making the case as to why Hillary shouldn't run. Observed Diane Sawyer with mordant humor:
"I don't think I'd want to be that person who came in make that case. I wouldn't volunteer for that job."
Ouch!

Will we be having an election or a coronation?...........
Is she related to Tony?
I just don't get it. The excitement over the gender or race of a candidate when MLK pointedly said, the "content of character" is one of their mantras. Talk about cognitive dissonance. These MSM people are overly-paid, pandering idiots.
Kate stopped just short of exclaiming "you go, girl!"
Kate, not Tony....whew!
Is there something wrong with me? I'm a woman, but the idea of a woman president or a woman in any job doesn't automatically make my heart beat faster. I have no doubt a woman could perform well. Look at Maggie Thatcher! I just don't feel that politics is the women against the men. Am I the only one who just doesn't care about the sex of the candidate?
So if Ms. Kirkpatrick ran for President, would there be the same enthusiam for a woman running for President?
I think Snow's enthusiasm is kind of phony. It's more about politics than sex. I don't think Kate would be wriggling in excitement at the prospect, e.g., of a Condi candidacy.
Bingo. See #10 - GMTA.
Two more years of this crap. Then, horror of horrors, she might get elected. Isn't our nation fortunate that two self-serving bast__ds like the Clintons would insist on running for President?
Katie's got a little pup-tent in her pants just imagining a Hillary candidacy.
"Am I the only one who just doesn't care about the sex of the candidate?"
As far as I can tell... yes.
Elizabeth Dole ran. Don't remember the media swooning over her.....
"Ah, the little people.
How I love them!"
