Why isnt HRC campaigning for the local races?

[mylye2222]

Well as she is so popular, why doesnt she uses it for good with crossing the contry on behalf of local swing districs Dem candidates?
Is she that so absorbed in her own 2016 pre bid?
Or dies she has chosen the strategy which is "Let the Reps keep the House and take back the Senate so that I can pose myself better for the next WH primaries? "
Whats your opinion on that fellows DUers?

1. Campaigns don't really get underway until after Labor Day.

Nuance! It isn't just for breakfast anymore.

11. Warren's not letting any grass grow under her feet. Ask Alison Lundergan Grimes. nt

[Thinkingabout]

13. The same Alison Lundergan Grimes Bill Clinton spoke to in February to encourage

Her to run? Bill was good friends with her father.

14. So I'm supposed to feel sorry for Turtle?

[Thinkingabout]

17. I don't feel sorry for him, just hope retirement is close for him.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

18. Well then, since I'm a long, LONG (as in since he was governor) fan and supporter of Bill Clinton,

I'm not too concerned he's boosting Grimes in an attempt to retire turtleboy.

2. Why should she? The election is in 2016, we havent even had the midterm elections.

If she is as popular as you say, then those who aspire should be running around the country. Another thing to think about is it cost money to do this.

3. Anyway what we should remember is that her popularity

comes 80% fron her family name.

[FSogol]

4. So, she wasn't a US Senator or Secretary of State? All of her popularity comes from her husband?

[mylye2222]

5. Really. At SoS she wasnt really that impressive.

And dont forget that wasnt she the former first lady and wife to one of the most popular Dem président. ..she would not have got that Senate confortable seat.

6. HRC-DS isn't pretty.

[mylye2222]

7. She wasnt pretty too

when she began to criticize Obama ....after he offeeed her the prominent SOS position.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

12. Warren campaigning. Clinton is just busy with her narcisistic book signing tour. nt

8. Probably because she would be more of a drag than a boost

I cannot think of any candidates in my region that want to hitch their cart up to this train. The only people I know who are even considering HRC are female senior citizens.

9. I think she is out of touch with what is really happening in the country. If those local elections -

especially for the Senate and House are lost to the rethugs they are going to establish more voter restrictions and we will be lucky to get to vote. Has she forgotten the SCOTUS? If we lose it we lose it for the next 40 years. Has she forgotten how they stold the election in 2000? If she sets it out she will be responsible for her own defeat.

IMO this 2014 election is the most important election I have ever voted in since 1960 JFK. If she sets it out she is working for the obstructionists as much a boner.

[Thinkingabout]

15. Have you checked her schedule? Maybe you are talking much too early, the primary is not as big of a

Deal as the general election. Grimes is going to need the support in the general election against McConnell.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. Because it would interfere with her gigs at Goldman-Sachs?

[stevenleser]

16. She is busy feeding Olive Garden cooked Chicken to Pit Bulls.

[winter is coming]

19. Only Hillary knows. My guess is that she's not sure she'll be seen as a positive contribution,

and that would be deadly to her 2016 chances.

20. I think this may answer some of your questions
