Hillary Clinton finally met with reporters at the U.N. Tuesday to explain why she used a personal email account for the vast majority of her communications as secretary of state. The problem for any public figure attempting to testify to their innocence is that one’s believability is directly tied to the public’s perception of one’s […]

Rich Lowry: Democrats will have to deal with Clinton baggage
The grim forced march to a Hillary Clinton coronation just got a little grimmer. The Hillary email scandal — on top of the revelation of continuing foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation while she was secretary of state — is a nice reminder for Democrats about what they are signing up for. The Clinton Restoration […]
Connie Schultz: Hit the road, Hillary, and start in Ohio
In my wildest dreams, I would never suggest campaign strategy to Hillary Clinton, but in my wakeful hours, my temples pulse with ideas. For a while, I’ve thought it best to keep my thoughts to myself, but that was before I started seeing all kinds of advice coming from people who never wait to be […]

SCARBOROUGH — Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will campaign for Democratic gubernatorial candidate U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud on Friday at Scarborough High School, 11 Municipal Drive, according to information posted on Michaud’s campaign website. “There is so much at stake in this election, and we can’t take anything for granted,” Michaud said Sunday […]
Cal Thomas: More negatives than positives for Hillary
Prior to his annual steak fry, retiring Sen.

Fareed Zakaria: Tough choice ahead for Hillary
NEW YORK — Hillary Clinton’s problem is not her money. Despite the media flurry over a couple of awkward remarks she made, most people will understand her situation pretty quickly — she wasn’t born rich but has become very rich — and are unlikely to hold it against her. Mitt Romney did not lose the […]
Cal Thomas: Are you ready for Hillary?
I expected nothing but effusive praise from major media for Hillary Clinton’s new book, “Hard Choices,” much like the mass exaltation it showered on Barack Obama, America’s first African-American president. Initially that seemed where the reviews were headed. Prior to the book’s official release June 10, the “journalists” on CBS “This Morning” spent nine minutes […]
Cal Thomas: Public has right to know truth about Hillary’s health
Karl Rove, the bete noir for Democrats (and some Republicans), has dared to raise questions about Hillary Clinton’s health. The New York Post first reported a conversation between Rove, former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and Dan Raviv of CBS News about Mrs. Clinton’s fall and concussion in December 2012. Rove was quoted as […]
Froma Harrop: Hillary hounded by age issues
The esteemed political writer Charlie Cook recently produced a column titled “Is Hillary Clinton Too Old to Run?” Despite couching his thoughts with a mention that if Clinton were to run, she would be the same age as Ronald Reagan when he was first elected president, 69, he did venture over the sexism line. The […]
