Hillary Clinton "Too Tired" To Run For President
Press Republican ^

Posted on 05/31/2003 12:42:04 PM PDT by rs79bm

PLATTSBURGH — Although speculation remains alive that U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton may yet wind up as the Democratic Party’s candidate for president next year, she says she doesn’t lie awake at night dreaming of becoming the first woman president.

Partly because she’s too tired.

"I don’t think like that. I’m so exhausted when I get in bed at night that I immediately pass out,’’ she laughed during an interview with the Press-Republican Editorial Board Friday afternoon.

On a serious note, though, Clinton said she is not thinking of a White House run at this time, even though prominent Democrats such as former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, a presidential candidate himself, say she would make a good leader.

"(Dean is) a friend of mine, and he’s been a very good governor, and I very much appreciate his kind words, but he, and the other people in this race, are going to determine who the next president is going to be,’’ she said.

"Three years ago I didn’t even know I would be sitting here as a senator. ... Right now I am just so interested in what I am learning and the whole process that I’m a part of now.’’

No matter who the Democratic candidate is, Clinton believes her party has a chance to recapture the White House even though polls show President George W. Bush with high popularity ratings.

"It’s hard right now. The atmosphere is so dominated by the administration for obvious reasons, but I do believe evidence and results actually do count for something, and eventually, the president will be held accountable for many of the decisions that he and his colleagues have made over the last several years,’’ Clinton said.

"The country pretty much is divided 50-50, so I think we actually have a good chance. I think that it will come down to turnout.’’

Hey Hillary if the country REALLY were divided 50-50 you'd be the only ONE running for the Democratic nomination and you know it. What a line of bull and I don't think your own supporters believe it either. If you thought President Bush could be beaten you would have run.

I knew it! He's putting something in her coffee. Won't be long now...

Unless that's her excuse for not having sex with the serial sex offender, perjurer and convicted felon she sleeps with.
