Hillary's rope-a-dope

Posted at 8:19 AM on October 9, 2007 by Bob Collins

The New York Times' Adam Nagourney says Hillary Clinton is playing it safe on the campaign trail, evoking memories of an earlier era...

In trying to appeal both to the Democrats’ liberal base and to a more centrist general-election audience, Mrs. Clinton, like her husband before her, risks feeding into the assessment of critics that she is more about political calculation than about conviction.

She is said to be "concerned" that she not appear guilty of hubris.
