    She won’t run.

    It’s a massive personal commitment and she doesn’t want to simply run to push Hillary to the left. Bernie Sanders can do that.

    Also, she’s not going to waste her political capital on a Presidential run when those bullets are best spent in the Senate.

    Lastly, her worst nightmare would be to run just strongly enough that the ticket requires her to be the VP because she’s carrying the left wing of the party.

    She’d lose her Senate influence and be relegated to VP? Bill Clinton will do more as First Gentleman…

    I’d vote for her in a nanosecond… but she ain’t running.

    Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.

    I cannot see her running, either, but it’s interesting that there are people calling for her to run.

    It would be awesome, though, if she ran and got the nomination, and we got a sideline shot late in the 4th quarter of Hillary Clinton’s face as she stands there absorbing another defeat to newbie. It would be better than crowd shots of Viking fans in the 99 playoff game.

    I’d love for her to BE President… but she’d have to run… and that process is meant to weed out anyone without issues (including Obama).

    The more about SERVICE you are, the LESS you want to run that gauntlet… which means the process more and more appeals to egocentric power mongers.

    And what have we mostly had since Carter?

    Gee…
