I’ve spent much of my life observing and writing about media bias, so you’d think nothing could surprise me at this point. But the fawning, deferential coverage of Hillary Clinton really is amazing. Hillary Clinton went to Chipotle yesterday. ABC described this as an “adventure” as Patrick notes below. An. Adventure. No wonder she thinks she’s named after Sir Edmund Hillary, they’re both such bold risk takers, pushing the envelope. On Morning Joe earlier, Mark Halperin offered a somewhat more serious analysis of Indiana Clinton and the Raiders of the Ohio Chipotle: “Her problem is not to prove to people...

The Republican Party appears to be coalescing around the happy assumption that, while Hillary Clinton will win the Democratic nomination, she cannot be elected. So, the self-delusive logic says, she is really God's gift to the Republican Party. This optimistic set of assumptions comes through loud and clear in the comments the president and Karl Rove made to Bill Sammon as he interviewed them for his new book Strategery. But their confidence indicates simply that they don't even begin to understand what they will be up against in a Hillary candidacy.It has always been Mrs. Clinton's strategery to wrap herself...

Perhaps you missed this bit of news today... A Pro-Life group has asked for an audience with Senator Clinton. This comes on the heels of a speech given last month in which the Senator advocated finding more "common ground" on the issue of abortion prevention.

I guess I'll have to say it again. I AM NOT AGAINST THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. One of my daughters is even married to a Democrat. She was always a little strange.... The Democratic Party, per se, is not an "evil group of people attempting to destroy our country." There are many Democrats in our country who are decent patriotic hard working people, with only the best interests of our country in mind. The party has brought forth issues and ideas that could and would benefit all of us. I would love to support some of those ideas, but can't. We...

~9:05pm~ EST EVANGELICAL HILLARY?: I admit I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when I read the quote attributed to Hillary from an upcoming print edition of the National Review. HillaryWatch was the first one to bring it to my attention... Speaking to a "church based" newsletter this week in anticipation of the opening of the Clinton Presidential Library, Mrs. Clinton made the following statements... "I always take time to worship God in as evangelical a way as is feasible, given time and location constraints. As you know, I consider myself an evangelical Christian, really a Christian conservative, if...

WHAT HORRORS AWAIT: Senator Chuck Schumer has been tapped by incoming Minority leader Harry Reid for a couple of important posts - and gained a powerful additional seat in exchange. The only catch for Senator Chucky is having to give up his aspirations of running for Governor. What does he gain/keep? His seat on the ever controversial judiciary committee. His seat on the banking committee. A NEW seat on the very powerful finance committee. And becomes the new head of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee... Note that he is replacing the rather failed efforts of New Jersey Senator John Corzine... What does...

HillaryWatch can now confirm a partial speaker's list for Thursday's opening of the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock Arkansas. Former President's Clinton, Bush and Carter will all take part. Current President Bush will also speak. And HillaryWatch can now confirm that Mrs. Clinton will also be taking part in the ceremonies. According to this television report from Ohio the library will not skip the most controversial portion of the President's term in office - the Monica Lewinsky affair. Both Monica and Paula Jones are mentioned by name in the corner of the library dedicated to the events which stained...

"According to a Quinnipiac poll of New Yorkers, Clinton's approval rating has steadily risen from 38 percent on Feb. 14, 2001 to 61 percent on Sept. 14, 2004. "She's not the caricature that people thought," Carroll said. "She's not a '60s lefty. She's not a loony leftist, and she works. She's a reasonably centrist liberal." Carroll said Democrats who aspire to their party's nomination in 2008 would "either have to beat her or discourage her" from running."

NEW YORK - Hillary Clinton is using hurricaine conditions to raise political dollars in two states worth of voters. According to a campaign letter sent today to supporters via e-mail Hillary wrote, "While the weather has been our biggest obstacle, the Republicans remain our greatest threat." By this I am to conclude that she believes Republicans are worse than Hurricaines Charley, Francis, Ivan, and Jeanne put together...(and don't even think about terrorism)... ...Because the GOP is far more dangerous than the hurricaines - and don't you forget it. But it also turns out that Hillary might be "sharing" something more...

"...All day long, newscasts at the top of the hour of the news stations were announcing the medical situation that was developing with former President Bill Clinton. After visiting a doctor near his home in Westchester, his doctors determined he needed emergency quadruple bypass. I began hearing the reports publicly by 11:00am EST. I heard them again on the news reports at 11:30am, a newsbreak update at 11:45am, at 12:00pm the local ABC station had the story, and I heard it again at 12:30pm. He was sent to Columbia Medical center in New York, the Kerry campaign was contacted, and...
