When the important matters of our day are all but forgotten, I think the Clintons will still be remembered, if not accurately, then at least as meaningful figures of their time. Inside that couple is a Shakespearean play. Too bad all we have so far is Primary Colors.
As you all know, today marked Hillary Clinton’s [...]

Not that this was ever really a realistic scenario, given that he’d have to give up his jet setting lifestyle to do a thankless job…but this was speculation we just couldn’t pass up.
From CNN:
Responding to such speculation, Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna tells CNN that “it’s completely false. President Clinton is excited to expand the work [...]

With Hillary Clinton headed to Foggy Bottom in January, speculation about her successor is heating up:
The task of choosing a successor falls to David Paterson, New York’s Democratic governor. Whomever he picks would serve for two years, before a special election in November 2010 to decide who fills the last two years of Clinton’s term.
Paterson [...]

This was the last thing that needed to happen, and Bill agreed to it last night. But it looks as if the Obama administration will really try to keep the ex-President in check because there were more conditions. A lot more.
From NY Times:
CHICAGO — Former President Bill Clinton has agreed to disclose publicly the names [...]

It’s supposedly a done deal, so now the press can stop chattering about the Clintons being duplicitous and just accept the fact that Obama is genuinely forming a team of rivals.
From NY Times:
Mrs. Clinton came to her decision after additional discussion with President-elect Barack Obama about the nature of her role and his plans for [...]

The will-she-or-won’t-she questions surrounding Hillary Clinton and the State Department took yet another turn this morning. Seems like Bill Clinton is willing to make some concessions to help his wife land the job:
Clinton has agreed to release the names of several major donors to his charitable foundation and will submit future foundation activities and paid [...]

Earlier today we heard that Bill Clinton is getting vetted just to make sure that nothing embarrassing comes out if Hillary says yes, and now we hear that she’s going to accept the position…so does this mean that the vetting of Bill is over or close to it?
In any event…from the Guardian…
Hillary Clinton plans to [...]

Yes, once again, Bill gets in the way…
From This Week:
But there’s one significant complication: how to make sure that former President Clinton’s foreign speeches, business dealings and foundation work don’t present conflicts of interest. [...]
Here are some of the major questions that need to be addressed: How much public disclosure must there be of past [...]

These are the reports I’m hearing and neither the Clinton folks nor the Obama folks are denying it…which is a sure sign that this is on the table.
Ben Smith details…
Andrea Mitchell reported this evening that Obama is considering Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, something that’s been buzzed about as a possibility for a few [...]

Because Obama didn’t want his transition to be like Bill Clinton’s, which by all indications was an unmitigated disaster.
From Ambinder…
In 1992, the only Democrats who had run the White House in the past quarter century had worked for Jimmy Carter — and Carter’s tenure didn’t exactly inspire confidence. Clinton had James Carville — the most [...]

It’s at the very first part of the interview, and then it launches into other specifics of the campaign.
Do note that these are just clips cut together. Clinton did voice his support for Obama even though he complimented McCain quite a bit.

I actually buy that she didn’t want the spot since being VP is pretty [...]

Obama scores a 5 point bump from yesterday to regain a sizable lead and hit the 48% mark for the first time since his overseas trip.

And, as Gallup notes, these numbers don’t take into account Clinton and Biden’s speeches…
The latest three-day Gallup Poll Daily tracking average (Aug. 25-27) is directly coincident with the first [...]

“People around the world have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.”
- Bill Clinton in an incredibly well received speech.
I was impressed as well. This is a man I’ve lost a lot of respect for over the past 8 months, but last night’s speech was [...]

With leaners
McCain – 47%
Obama – 46%
Without leaners
Obama – 44%
McCain – 44%
McCain edges up one and this is significant since he hasn’t really been above the 45% mark for a while in the “with leaners” numbers. So now this is two straight days, which could position him well for sustaining any type of bump he gets [...]

Gotta love this down home folksy political wisdom for Billary…
“Suppose you’re a voter, and you’ve got candidate X and candidate Y. Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don’t think that candidate can deliver on anything at all. Candidate Y you agree with on about half the issues, but he can deliver. Which [...]

More evidence of what many suspected a Hillary presidency would bring with it: Bill Clinton 2.0.
This extremely revealing little factoid is buried in a story from Politico about the upcoming story from The Atlantic that details hundreds of memos that were leaked to reporter Joshua Green…
The famous 3 a.m. ad, written by Penn and approved [...]

When it rains, it pours…
Edwards had cast himself in his political career as an exemplar of a moral life and a good marriage, and he was a harsh critic of former President Bill Clinton for his Oval Office affair.
“I think this president has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of [...]

Sure, his office put out a tepid endorsement about a month ago, but this latest non-answer of whether Obama is ready to be President is classic Clinton doublespeak.
From NY Daily News:
WASHINGTON – Bill Clinton regrets some things he said – and didn’t say – on the campaign trail. But there’s one thing he still can’t [...]

Wow, I can’t believe they actually let this one get out…

What do you think?

Today, we take a look back at this week in the election and also have an in-depth discussion about the Obama Campaign’s general election strategy.
