At a time when many potential 2016 presidential contenders appear to be starting the ignition of their campaigns, Hillary Clinton has pressed the brake pedal.
Or so it seems.
Clinton’s calendar, which was jam-packed throughout most of last year with paid speeches, award ceremonies, fundraisers, book tour stops, campaign appearances and official Clinton Foundation business, is now virtually empty.
Over the past six weeks, the likely Democratic presidential candidate has made just two public appearances -- both on the same day, and both in Canada. She doesn’t have another event scheduled until late next month.
Although Clinton still insists she hasn’t decided whether she’ll run, it is widely believed that she will, and an announcement is expected this spring.
Until then, Clinton appears to be lying low and staying out of the public eye. Meanwhile, much of the focus has turned toward potential Republican candidates like Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush and Rand Paul. A dozen others tested out their possible stump speeches at a summit in Iowa last weekend.
A Clinton spokesman declined to comment on reasons for her light public schedule. But, according to Democratic strategists and Clinton insiders, this is exactly how it should be.
Here’s why:
Playing It Safe
After a rocky book rollout last summer and a few flubs on the midterm campaign trail, some see Clinton as politically rusty. Keeping out of the spotlight now lowers the chances of making mistakes that could come back to haunt her later.

It’s ‘cuz we can take only so much ugly and stupid.
It’s all about politics with these jerks
Rehab and cosmetic surgery.
I think she has had work done or she had a cerebral episode and is staying at trembling hills till she gets better or she can’t stand by her man another time if I were her put out a hit on the bent one as a widower she may get a bounce for the sympathy vote
Face lift.

Unfortunately, that might work. Especially among the LIV’s.
Half of her voters weren’t even born yet when she was murdering attorneys and getting away with other high crimes and misdemeanors.
Well, after Barack Obama, I suppose my work boot is just as qualified to be president.
Or she’s ill.
Or more accurately; the more Mrs. Clinton is out there the more it's obvious she's a fraud who has never accomplished anything and is incapable of accomplishing anything.
Hubby’s back in the news...with Bimbo’s. Whodathunkit!
I am ready for Hillary-—to be led away in an orange jumpsuit.
She’s waiting for her media to “deem” her president.
An oatmeal cookie to the first reporter who dares ask her about Sex Fiend Island.
I am guessing a crash diet and plastic surgery are also taking place.
You be correct. Democrats play to win control and the power that comes with it. Republicans not so much.
Having hillbilly Billy Jeff liquidated for enough votes would be no problem for the Stalinist in a pants suit. She probably has a lot of experience there.
Exactly. Cosmetic surgery. Cataract removal and or Lasic surgery. A chin lift and a face lift. Heck, Chelsea is probably being worked over too.
By the time she’s finished she will be a worthy successor to Joan Rivers.
