It's not just Karl Rove who is obsessed with Hillary Clinton. Besides obsession, not quite sure why this article is news...and worthy of front page in the NY Times. It's an article about nothing. Oh, it did give some of the usual subjects the chance to get their names in the NY Times:
When the subject of Bill and Hillary Clinton comes up for many prominent Democrats these days, Topic A is the state of their marriage — and how the most dissected relationship in American life might affect Mrs. Clinton's possible bid for the presidency in 2008.Just who are these "prominent Democrats" obsessing about the state of the Clinton's marriage? And why would any "prominent Democrat" deign to talk to the media about that subject. One would hope that "prominent Democrats" would spend more time obsessing about how to win. That's what Bill and Hillary Clinton spend a lot of their time thinking about.
Not that any of my pals are "prominent Democrats," they're mostly political geeks -- I've never heard anyone discuss the state of the Clinton marriage. No one cares.
John made a good point last night. When will there be stories about the private lives of leading Republicans? That's something "prominent Democrats" should be talking and asking about. After all, the GOP has decided to turn marriage and personal lives into political fodder. That would be newsworthy.
