she might get elected, but it doesn't mean she's some sort of genius... she's as clumsy a politician as she is arrogant

Come Monday, every regularly scheduled television show will be talking about Hillary Clinton.

Regarding the timing, perhaps she was trying to avoid Friday's open lines with Rush and the rest of the boys?

Maybe she's over confident and just doesn't care?

Well: I was certainly surprised when she announced she was running for President. I had no idea she even wanted the job.
I thought she was perfectly happy as the cheated on Senator-housewife of the rapist Bill Clinton.

indeed.
and you can see from her web video, what her "campaign" will be like. its going to be styled liked "Oprah" and "The View", a total media "fluff" campaign - no issues, no questions from the press, etc.

Now Gore can trump them all by not announcing until late in 2007. According to the KosNazis, this race is Gore's to lose.

>Im spent many years in
TV network news. I polled old friends and acquaintances today and with one exception, all agreed that Hillary Clintons announcement today that she is running for President (yawn) is a HUGE misstep
TV news? You mean
you asked the dinosaur's brains
their opinion? So?
To: MindBender26
One possibility...
She really doesn't want to garner lots and lots of public attention and spotlight on herself and her "persona", but she did have to announce something due to the exploratory committee thingy. The reason being, she comes across poorly.
The more people get a true "feel" for what she is like, the less they like the thought of her being President of the United States of America.
She would rather fly under the radar, to the extent that's possible, and just trade off her being a woman, a Clinton, etc.
Hmmmmm?

Next, she has based her campaign on Stopping Bush. Thats got about 30 days worth of legs. Yeah, because as of Jan. 21, 2009, Bush is "stopped" anyways. What's she got to bitch about after that?

I agree. It was way too early for her to announce.
She should have let Obama take the heat and questions and spotlight for months.
Although Dick Morris on Hannity said that the nominations would basically be over by December, that may not be true. The primaries won't have even started by then.
As you say, she has 20 months of exposure. Now every utterance she makes it political. One or two major flubs, and her candidacy falls into the trash bin of wannabes, right beside Howard Dean's.

I guarantee you she already spend hundreds of thousands on media consultants, some of whom insisted she make the announcement exactly when she did. Everything with her is mapped out like the genome project.

I notice that MSNBC gave her a full hour of free propaganda today. I wonder how many of their 300,000 viewers were watching.

Sunday talk show fodder.
And you're right, she blinked. :-)
To: MindBender26
For Hillary, the timing isn't that important. Everyone knew a long time ago that she would be running. She is the best known of all the candidates and has the best and most well funded campaign machine. Everyone else is trying to play catch-up.
It really has nothing to do with Obama. The first Dem Presidential debate takes place in South Carolina on April 26. All of the Dem candidates are getting into the race now.
Hillary's announcement is just ho-hum. It is almost anti-climatic. She is having a three day long announcement starting Monday. The MSM will be covering her non-stop from here on out. The Queen is ready for the coronation.
