Hillary Clinton joins the race for president today. If you believe the leaks from her staff, and theres no reason you shouldnt, shell do it in a video released at noon as she herself flies high above the nation in a chartered plane. She and her top advisors, all smart people, must think its a good idea. It doesnt feel like one. SNIP
Barring a Jeremiah Wright-level crisis, a presidential candidate gets just two or three chances to make her case to a big audience. Her announcement is often her best shot. That Hillary passed on hers is unsettling. If she thinks she doesnt have to make her case real soon shes wrong. If she thinks she can get by on the sort of mush Democratic consultants push on clients shes finished. On Thursday the Q poll released three surveys. In two states, she now trails Rand Paul. In all three a plurality or majority said she is not honest or trustworthy. You can bet the leak about her $2.5 billion campaign will push those negatives up a notch.
Clinton seems as disconnected from the public mood now as she did in 2008. I think its a crisis. If she doesnt right the ship it will be a disaster. In politics its always later than you think. Advisors who told her voters would forget the email scandals probably say this too will pass. If so, she should fire them.
Clinton needs a real challenge and a real debate, not just a sparring partner; not some palooka to dance her around the ring for a couple of rounds, but a real fighter. She needs the debate. We all do. But who will bring it?

We need Liawatha to keep the Dems in their own primary. Besides, it would be very entertaining.
Feminist and Clinton supporters have double panty liners in place in anticipation for the big announcement.
Icky!
Hillary! doesn’t have to play by the same rules.
Just ask her media enablers.
We can only hope so.
She could announce while eating a live puppy, and the loyal Progs will still flock to her red banner.
“I cant stand the suspense...Who will speak on her behalf?”
I volunteer!!!!
Lessee now. We need some good slogans for the campaign.
Vote for Monica Lewinsky’s boyfriend’s wife 2016
Cackle if you’re Ready for Hillary
Hillary for President. Millions of flying monkeys can’t be wrong.
And your little dog Toto too...2016
All these things she needs to do to win. Somehow I feel much like Rhett Butler when he gave his famous reply to all HER concerns:
“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a #$!%.”
Even beyond what I feel, I hope God is blinding her eyes and those of her cohorts, so that when Cruz wins by a landslide they’ll never know what hit them.
Pathetic. We better make sure he does not win
Hillary: Vince Foster tested, Chris Stevens approved.
Rhymes with Rich 2016
Vote for the beard 2016
Hillary 2016. What does it matter?!
An astute prediction. I think you’re right.
The strategy will be to minimize her exposure and let her “weigh in” (pun intended) on issues via social media and other highly controlled settings. Virtually everything she does will be staged. Not one minute of her campaign will be unscripted.
Hillary Clinton is the lowest common denominator of U.S. politics. She is the sludge at the bottom of the barrel. There is nothing in her character or her history that can elevate her above her own messes.
Well, at least she's in touch with the working class...or the class that would work if there were jobs.
“Soon...very soon.”
Now I have them in my clutches
Let me see what can be done
I will make them do my bidding
I will surely have some fun
“JEWS FOR CRUZ”
Just like Obama, the Clintons are obsessed with politics. It is their entire lives. They think and breath politics every moment. It consumes them.
It is disconcerting that Americans vote for driven, one dimensional people like this who clearly have no other healthy interests in life. Few people would want friends like this yet they willing turn the fate of the nation over to such unbalanced and power hungry people. Hard to understand.
Nope, they will continue voting for liberal Democrats by a vast majority. That won’t change.
From Salon? Wow!
Wow! Even Dowd is against her? We ARE living in Upside Down World, LOL!
