HRC Sends Spitzers Her "Best Wishes"
OLD FORGE, PA -- Hillary Clinton spoke to the press about reports linking NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer to a prostitution ring after she was mobbed by fans at Revello's pizzeria in northeast Pennsylvania.
After greeting supportes outside the pizza parlor and spending several minutes talking and posing for pictures with people inside, Clinton responded to questions about Spitzer.
"I don't have any comment on that, but I obviously am sending, you know, my best wishes and thoughts to the governor and to his family," she said.
When asked whether she thought the beleaguered governor could survive the scandal, the senator declined to comment.
"Let's wait and see what comes out over the next days, but right now I don't have any comment, and I think it's appropriate just to wish his family well, and we'll wait and see how things develop," she said.
The issue of a "Dream Ticket" -- with both Clinton and Barack Obama -- was also raised. It is, of course, an idea she and her husband have floated in recent days. A reporter today asked her to reconcile her dual suggestions that the Illinois senator had not passed the commander in chief test but would make a fine vice president. Clinton dodged the question, saying it was too soon to discuss running mates.
"Well, you know, this thing has really been given a life of its own," she told reporters. "You know, a lot of Democrats like us both and have been, you know, very hopeful that they wouldn't have to make a choice, but obviously Democrats have to make a choice and I'm looking forward to getting the nomination and it's premature to talk about whoever might be on whose ticket, but I believe I am ready to serve on Day One."

First she brings up the topic of a joint ticket then she can't comment on it. Welcome back to the Clinton Years circa 1992. Please America. Spare us from this.

You know...you know...you know...
How many of these will the person on the other end of that 3 a.m. call have to listen to if she is back in the White House?

Hillary is pretty healthy. The danger of her dropping dead and Obama becoming President is less than the danger of McCain becoming President if Obama keeps dividing the party.
(Sorry if this is a duplicate post, my earlier similar one has not appeared.)
