I thought it was 6am, not 5am, when I wrote this post. Forgot to roll back the time on my alarm clock.

I had no idea I care about politics in the middle of the night.

I was surprised no one blogged on Hillary making it pretty clear that she doesn't see another presidential run in her future:

"In an interview aired Tuesday on "Fox & Friends" on the Fox News Channel, Clinton, D-N.Y., was asked the chances, on a scale of 1 to 10, that she would be the next majority leader in the Senate.

"Oh, probably zero," she said. "I'm not seeking any other position than to be the best senator from New York that I can be."

Being nominated to the Supreme Court?

"Zero," Clinton said. "I have no interest in doing that."

Running for president again?

"Probably close to zero," she said. "There's an old saying: Bloom where you're planted."

Now, everyone says their presidential runs aren't likely, but given all of the factors, this seems pretty straight-foward and realistic.

Do try to keep on point, Bo. Heh.

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mahatma Gandhi

the morons said about her, and this definitely includes people on the blogs, they couldn't break her. She's one tough person. They've ended up looking like whiny little fools. No credibility at all.

She's a winner, no matter what happens.

What Pie said.

Here's a great piece from Saturday by a journalist unfettered by the media narrative, Harold Evans, former editor of the Times and the Sunday Times, author of The American Century:

Mad about The One
The US media have been captivated by Obama, at the expense of their curiosity and scepticism

In this 2008 race, it's the American media that have voted very early and often. They long ago elected the star graduate of Chicago's Democratic machine, Barack Obama.
...
What's troubling to anyone old-fashioned enough to care about standards in journalism is the news coverage in mainstream media. Forget the old notions of objectivity, fairness, thoroughness, and so on.
...
But the press bias towards Obama doesn't represent a simple revulsion for the Republican party. It was on display in the Democratic primaries with the persecution of Hillary Clinton. Worst of all, in the primaries, the press let the Obama campaign get away with continuous insinuations below the radar that the Clintons were race-baiters.
...
The young and affluent liberals have been captivated by Obama's charisma, the unstated notion that electing a black man will be absolution for the years of discrimination and prejudice, and the expectation that Obama's undoubted appeal to the outside world will repair America's image. All understandable, but these emotions have been allowed to swamp the commonplace imperatives of journalism: curiosity and scepticism.

...the American press likes to think of itself as more superior and detached than it actually is. In 2000, the mainstream media did a great deal to elect George Bush by portraying Al Gore as a boastful liar.

Ya know, I was never a big proponent of the sexism argument. I was brought up to be tough and to not make excuses when you didn't succeed but I do believe that this whole campaign has proven me wrong. I won't try to put it into words because I'm a lousy writer but Hillary has been kicked around by just about everyone and she sucks it up and uses to energize her work. She's fuc*ing amazing. What a champ. And I still have female relatives, older ones (70+), that just yesterday were saying she's immoral (yeah, I know. WTF.) and she represents old politics. I want to puke.

I love the analysis of whether she'll run again. Just to funny for words. Yeah, she's going to say, I'm saving my money to make another presidential run. Right. I think if Hillary has learned any lesson in this race it's to shut up and move forward.

I love this job!

I imagine her relationship/partnership with Bill Clinton has strengthened through this campaign. If I were a politician, I wouldn't want to be running against her anytime soon.

I love this job!
