Capitol View

Harbinger for Clinton departure?

"This may be the last day I'm ever involved in a campaign of this kind," Former President Bill Clinton to NBC News. It may be a signal of Hillary Clinton's intentions in the coming days.

One group that may help show Clinton the door is the remaining group of uncommitted Democratic Senators. CNN is reporting that most of the 17 uncommitted Democratic Senators will back Obama after tomorrow's primary.

Unless there is missing context, the quote does not dictate that this is the end of the road for this campaign. It merely says that Bill Clinton does not expect to be involved in a hotly contested primary campaign again. Since the primaries are ending, the statement is fairly innocuous.

Except that there's five months left until the November election. He said campaign not primary campaign.
