No Statehouse Run for Hillary
November 15, 2009 7:00 AM
The rumors have been persistent. Scurrying around like rats in the darkness. Hillary’s unhappy at State. Talking to the big money types about a run for Governor. She’s the party's only hope.
Well, today, the lights came on and the rumors scattered to their death, when I asked the Secretary of State if she was talking to people about a possible run for Governor:
CLINTON: No, no, no. That's another one of those stories that never will die and I hope maybe we can put it to rest today. No, I am committed to the job that I have. It is an extraordinarily important time to be the Secretary of State of my country and to work with President Obama in trying to pursue our interests and advance our values around the world and that's what I am going to continue doing.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So that rumor is dead. You're not running?
CLINTON: That rumor is dead. And if you can please, you know, put it in a little box and send it off somewhere I'd appreciate it.

Put an (R) behind Obama's name and republicans would be ecstatic.

I hope she challenges Obama. We need a real "D" in there not this slow motion train wreck.

Hillary couldn't even win her party's nomination for president against a junior unknown senator from chicago, so why does anyone believe she could have won the white house? There is no way she would go for it in 2012 against obama.

As a little boy I liked the music boxes: It seemed something magical. We wait for the right time to make them sound, but why do it silent? It would be madness. Tell Hillary what her fans want to hear.

I love music boxes: as a child seemed magical. Why silence? It would be madness. Why Hillary does not say what his fans want to hear? Why keep this paranoia? Or is the industry noise by more dividends?

Maybe the Democrats who conspired against Hillary will now realize what a gigantic mistake they made in backing Kenyan Barry-beloved of the terrorists and the Muslims. Obama will NEVER EVER win reelection because in 9 short months the American public has become fed up with his disastrous policies, his radicalassociates and his anti_-American speeches. The Democrats backed the wrong one and they drove many of us away.... Hillary has the last laugh on all of them because Obama sucks. Now watch as the DNC tries their best to get us to come back to them... better start sucking up real good...

Oh Please, I don't believe her about anything. I hope she NEVER runs for anything again She is a self serving egotistical person who is all smoke and mirrors. Need I remind everyone.... She was senator from NY to our misfortune for 8 years and NEVER had even one major legislative initiative. She is a fraud.
