Norman, you realize Hindraker contradicts himself with that, right?

Allow me to add that these people have been contradicting themselves all over the place. On one hand they say "she did it to run for President", but in the next breath say "this is political suicide if she wants to run for President". If it's so "obvious" that this would kill anyone's chance to run for President, then why would she do it to run for President?

I don't see any contradiction in Hindraker's thesis, at all. He saying that she's mounting a campaign for president, and at the same time she has created a flawed foundation from which to launch that campaign. At least, that's his premise or theme of his piece.

You're last question "then why would she do it to run for president?", is intimated in Hindraker's thesis. That's the question he's asking, "Why would a person with presidential aspirations quit the only job that, if successfully completed would lend them credibility upon which to launch their campaign?" It's a good question.
