Hillary Clinton Ready to take the Plunge?


January 20th, 2007

Well the big news this morning is that many believe Senator Hillary Clinton will launch her White House bid by forming an exploratory committee. She will make the announcement, of all places, on her Web site.

ABC News announced that the “Former First Lady is expected to take the first step” about an hour ago, didn’t announce what that step was though and didn’t mention it again, which I found odd. But luckily CNN is on the case with commentators sitting around refreshing her page and waiting.

I personally have to say I think the choice of announcing on a Saturday is a pretty bad one. I had just been discussing last night how the Senator seems to have lost a lot of the fire and energy. I wasn’t paying much attention to the reports that she has been phased by the sudden popularity Barack Obama has found. But the last couple of weeks, I don’t know.

Anyway announcing on a Saturday, on a Web site when you are/were the frontrunner for the nomination seems a tad weak. The only logic I can see is that all the Sunday talk shows will now fill their time with Hillary news. The thing is, all the Sunday talk shows have been talking about the Senator running for president for the last fourteen years. That isn’t a joke either, they are obsessed!

I will hold most of my judgement until after I see whatever message she has but right now it seems like someone with millions in the bank could really do better.
