Will She, or Won't She?

Yesterday, Dick (The Toad) Morris wrote that Hillary's speech about the adverse affect of our rising debt load was the opening speech in her campaign for President. I've got news for Richard. Hillary never quit campaigning. The pundits and talking heads heaped tons of praise on Obama for his political astuteness in neutralizing Hillary by bringing her into is administration. But Hillary knew what she was doing. She is at the center of the world stage, is fully engaged in advancing the cause of the U.S., and is displaying her competence and experience. Are there any potential front runner Republicans with as much positive and national exposure?                               

What is interesting is the timing of her speech, which is a thinly veiled attack on the policies of the Obama administration. Could it be that like  sharks that smell blood in the water, that her and her charming rascal of a husband see a huge defeat for the Congressional Democrats this November? One so deep that it drags the Obama presidency to the point where the Democratic party starts to cast about for a winner in 2012? Will Pant Suit diplomacy pay dividends in 2012? It will be interesting to watch how this plays out.

By the way, have you noticed the new hair style? She is really looking good lately. One thing to watch for in media coverage is the contrast between Hillary and Sarah Palin. With Sarah, we get the just below stage level shots of her striding purposefully with those good looking legs and stylish hemline. With Hillary, we get mid torso up framing. I wouldn't be surprised if Hillary's staff controlled the photo op framing as best they can.
