The 11th Candidate?

You'd think reporters would have plenty to do, trying to juggle Hurricane Wesley, the Dean surge, Chris Lehane's bailout, the on-and-off California recall and a real-life hurricane.

But as they spin a hundred different scenarios and bring in the porch furniture, some journalists haven't abandoned hope for Hillary.

<snip>

"President Clinton stoked speculation that his wife, Senator Clinton, will run for president in 2004. Asked by his former chief of staff, Leon Panetta, whether there was 'a chance' that Mrs. Clinton would run for president next year, Mr. Clinton left the door open.

" 'That's really a decision for her to make,' he said at a public forum in Monterey, Calif. The former president also said he believed many New Yorkers would have no objection to her breaking her pledge to serve a full six years in the Senate. 'I was impressed at the state fair in New York, which is in Republican country in upstate New York, at how many New Yorkers came up and said they would release her from her commitment if she wanted to do it,' Mr. Clinton said. 'But she said . . . she just doesn't understand how to walk away from that. So I just have to take her for where she is right now.'"

Fox tried (and failed) to drag Hillary in through a different door:

"While sources told Fox News earlier that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton will serve as Clark's campaign co-chairman while numerous other Arkansas-based supporters of her husband, former President Bill Clinton, were also lending a hand in the campaign, the senator's office told Fox News late in the day that she had not agreed to serve on the campaign. Clark aides later said they had miscommunicated with Clinton's office and no determination had been made about her participation."

(Very Long Article, cont...)

I HAD POSTED THIS BEFORE BUT HAD IT REMOVED/LOCKED BY AN ERRONEOUS DUPE ACCUSATION - This is NOT a dupe of the CBS story

1. Here's the jist of the article ...

"... some journalists haven't abandoned hope for Hillary."

They just want a story and faux wants someone to bash so they don't have to show how much of a f*#kup * is.

2. Hey rabid_nerd...

This is indeed a duplicate of the "Bill Won't Rule Out Run By Hil" CBS news story. It's not an exact duplicate, but the rules of the Latest Breaking News forum do not allow multiple threads about the same news story.

Your link and story is very useful, and I would suggest you post it within the original LBN thread on this topic, which can be found here:

If you're not satisfied with that, you could also try starting a new discussion on the Hillary Clinton speculation topic in the General Discussion forum.
