Although former President Bill Clinton has held more than 100 election events, his wife is unable to campaign because of her foreign policy role. She is currently on a two-week tour of Asia and Australasia that includes stops in Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and Australia.
In Siem Reap in Cambodia yesterday, Mrs Clinton met a group of about 50 victims of human trafficking at an American-funded facility and promised continued American support.

At the facility, they receive an education and vocational training including weaving and sewing lessons.
Mrs Clinton listened as one young woman, Vann Sina, recounted her story of being abducted at 13 and forced to have sex with 20 to 30 men a day for more than two years before being rescued from a brothel. "You motivate me," she said.
The US Secretary of State later visited the famed 12th century Angkor Wat temple complex before heading to Phnom Penh for talks with senior Cambodian officials.

Don't be so sure - If I were going to run, I'd stay away from today's bonfire as well.
Hillary is symbolically washing her hands off Obama. And foreign observers are noticing. She and Bill are probably the only Democrats who will be celebrating tonight.
Yeah, Hillary has that effect on people.
That’s exactly what she doing. Staying of the carnage. Obama had better watch his back.
***If this doesn’t tell you that Hillary isn’t going to run I don’t know what will.***
Something’s going on. Rahm and Axelrod bailing. Then we have BO taking a 4-nation trip to India, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan.....trying to steal his SOS’s thunder?
IMHO Hillary has been a dud as SOS - unless the media has been instructed to ignore her.
Add to that the HILLBUZZ diatribes threatening to destroy the DEMOCRATS!!!!!!
This is weird stuff.
Is this just bad writing, or do we really fund this human-trafficking facility?
She’s going to run. She wants to stay as far away from this conflag as she can.
By the time she gets back to the states, the shouting will have already died down and the bloodstains will have already been wiped up. She’s going to skate through it completely untouched.
Please explain your thinking here - I see no indication from this that she is not going to run.
Michelle would never let her run WITH Obama in 2012 and the party would look jerkier than they are. They screwed themselves and we're gonna Republicanize our government again. We need another Reagan...but I don't believe it's Palin.
Hillary will begin her campaign next Monday on the National Geographic channel of all places.
Doesn’t the SOS takes orders from the president? I am not a Hillary fan (though I would have preferred her to Obama), but what exactly would you have her do that she hasn’t as SOS? We all know the middle east peace talks are a waste of time. Other than that, what should she have done?
We’ve probably got 10 Mexican facilities.
Another Democrat flying all over the world and living high off the US taxpayer.
She is running.
Bill is campaigning for her by proxy. Many of the Dems that loose will blame Obama, but will think fondly of how Bill(Hillary by proxy), took time to come out and make appearances for them, even though they had little chance of winning.
Hill will quit in 2011 in a “cabinet shuffle”, write a book, and meet with all of those dems that will now be POd at Obama to form her network for 2012.
She wants to stay hidden until she can swoop in as the superhero/savior of the day and lead her team to victory.
Won't work.
Will she come back to the states when Obama is off on his 2 week junket?
Hit the Sunday shows, etc.?
“If this doesn’t tell you that Hillary isn’t going to run I don’t know what will.”
So true. See:

Looking at Bill Clinton, a washed-up impeached wife-cheater running around the country trying to prop-up and defend a putrid decaying and rotting socialist agenda, has turned into nothing but an old smelly dishrag.
Let Hillary run in 2012.
As bad as Bill was,Hillary was even more despised and NOTHING will bring out the GOP voters like seeing her name on the ballot box.
Palin would KO her in an election like Dorthy melting the wicked witch of the west.
