A Toe in the Water and an Ugly Calf Not Far Behind

Here’s the promised link to the Hillary for President story, and here’s the money graf:

For the record, our new senator has said she was not interested in the presidency. So has former Vice President Al Gore, who might be rethinking his own future. Not for the record, though, Hillary and her advisers, including her husband the ex-president, her money men and pollsters, will meet shortly after Labor Day — Sept. 6, I hear — to discuss whether or not she should go for it. It is a decision that has to be made earlier rather than later because of November and December filing deadlines for the early primary elections that will almost certainly (and very quickly) identify the 2004 Democratic nominee.

That’s what Richard Reeves reports, and you already know what I think.
