The Morning News: There's Still No NHL Season... Does Anything Else Matter?

Hillary Clinton has spent almost all her time as Secretary of State looking exhausted. I thought that she would rather retire for sure. Yes, taking four years off to campaign will rest her up (well, the first two years ought to be relaxing anyway), but I don't think she'll have the stamina for the job if she wins.

One of al-Assads generals needs to take him out. Otherwise, they all face a firing squad. It's coming.

Thank you for the 12 Days of Hockey. Even if it does make me miss hockey even more. *sigh* Clips of Super Mario are always awesome.

Hillary is in. First, retire and get the $5 million book advance, telling her life story. Book store. Second, start her own nonprofit international fund, womens rights in pakistan, microlending, middle class issues in america, another nationwide tour. Third: do cash in with $400K speeches for a year! Fourth: Hold lots of interviews with all the people who messed up her campaign last time, those who thought caucuses don't matter. Fifth, start her own e mail grass roots network all over esp. iowa, nh, florida; but hire off some electronic whiz kids from the obama team very early...grab them....be first to build and inherit the infrastructure. Sixth, a la ronald reagan, start having a core message of middle class renewal you push in your speeches (the way reagan used his GE speeches to brand himself). Seventh: practique el espanol muchisisisimo! Eighth: start the campaign early.
BTW her MO is to learn while doing. Having run before gives her a total edge. She also needs a core of latino support probably not for vp, but a few for the cabinet, or a few candidates she boosts in arizona, colorado, nevada, florida. It would not hurt for her to help puerto rican statehood, too.

I'll take cautious optimism. I hope the talk of decertification is just to keep everyone at the table. It couldn't happen in time to save this season, and we'd probably walk back a couple steps in the negotiations.

Megan, please don't dignify polling about the 2016 election by addressing it as if it actually means something. We have more important things to address in the next 3 years.

@2 Sorta agreed.. But LOOKING tired isn't the same as truly being tired.
It does seem unlikely that she would want to spend another 4-8 years in the executive branch ( plus 4 campaigning ), when she could 'retire' and still play a huge background role in US policy. All the fun - none of the consequences.
...but then, that golden ring, first woman president, must be so extraordinarily tempting.

I think Hillary has other things to do. I doubt she really wants to be President at this point in her career.
