Observers of Hillary Clinton will have been intrigued by some of the nuggets about the Secretary of State in the new Vanity Fair profile.
The relationship with Obama is gone into in some detail, as are the workaholic habits and the reconciliation with Irish-born Samantha Power who dissed her on the campaign trail when Power was with Obama.
What was most intriguing though was the soft denial from staffers about a run in 2016 when she will be sixty-nine the month before the election, close to the same age as Ronald Reagan was when he ran for the first time.
Is there one more run in the Grand Dame of American politics?
Don’t rule it out would be the best advice. The Clinton’s are like the old warhorses who hear the sound of war and head straight towards the battlefield.
Hillary looks great has shown incredible competence in her new job and has earned and owns the respect of most Americans.
Polls show her one of the most popular figures in the US.
So don’t rule out 2016 yet, despite many protestations to the contrary
As Vanity Fair noted; “…. But it’s hard to believe “Clinton” and “ambition” have been fully sundered. In 2016, the Democrats are unlikely to have anyone better or more acceptable to different parts of the party."
Indeed.

The Clinton woman is useless as a politician - and her mid east fumblings are embarrassing. Bill was a great leader...she is a shrill reactionary who likes to watch snuff movies in the White House.Yuck!!

Why wait until 2016? I believe there will be a "Clinton" in the White House after the next election, one way or the other....

A great choice for the 1st female president She towers over Palin, Bachmann and the other teahadist termagants.

Hey Mac, you should tell Obama to stop his continuation of Bush's policies.

It is an old picture of her. She is almost as unpatriotic as our president.

She would be great. We also need a continuity of policies, from Obama and on, to dig us out of the hole created by the incompetency of the Bush administration.

She's sixty five now?She looks hot in the photo.What was her hubby thinking when he 'did not have sex with that woman'.Compared to Hillary Monica looks like a dogs dinner.A week in politics is a long time.Five years must be an eternity.
