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.
Clintons 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 doesnt have another event scheduled until late next month.
Although Clinton still insists she hasnt decided whether shell 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.
Heres 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.
Why take the risk? said one prominent Democrat with ties to Clinton, who requested anonymity in order to speak candidly about Clintons vulnerabilities. The more youre out there -- I dont care how prepared you are or how experienced you are -- shes going to slip up.
But, the source added, its about the optics, -SNIP-

What role does orgy island play in this?
Hear, hear!
Like I said - she’s probably not going to run. It’s either run and have a stroke or pass away, or don’t and have a few more years.
“she had a cerebral episode and is staying at trembling hills till she gets better”
LOL! And if Billy were out of the way she’s a widow & there’s no chance of “buy one get one free” like in ‘92.
Huma Abedin will then sub as 1st lay-lady-lay.
she will be a worthy successor to Joan Rivers
Remind you of anyone? Like, say...
Just heeding the advisers. The voices in her head told her to lay low for now.
Probably getting a full face and body lift.
“Rehab and cosmetic surgery.”
That would be my guess, too.
I would bet all of my Solyndra stock, my place in line at the obamacare clinic, and any future Nobel Peace Prize I might receive that this is likely true.
.
LOL!! The “Hillary 2016” bumper sticker I saw didn’t look like this!
The flip side of that is that these same voters will see her (accurately) as a tired, worn-out old hag.
People seem to forget that it was Democrats who threw her under the bus in 2008 in favor of a jug-eared nitwit exchange student from Kenya.
One positive thing to consider. The Democrats. They’re old. Old as dirt.
Joe Biden: Age 72
Hillary: Age 67
Squaw: Age 65
she's been picking out some new boobs...they needed a reconfig..
They wanted her to go to rehab,
She said, no no no.
Cataracts take about ten minutes. And nine of that is getting her into the chair.
ANY plastic surgery would be seen in two seconds by the E TV crowd.
You know things aren't looking good for the Democrats when the Senate Minority Leader has to come out in public and explain this by claiming that he can't even navigate his way up a treadmill:
