I do think that the most interesting thing about Hillary’s announcement is that it is a replay of her 2000 Senate strategy. That “listening tour” in New York Mark reminds us of was brilliant on many levels because it took the focus off her and put it on New Yorkers. It allowed her to avoid saying much of anything that could be used against her. And, it left her free to translate the “concerns” of New Yorkers into whatever policy prescriptions she already had in mind. This, ugh, national conversation — aside from being such a grotesque cliché — does certainly seem to be a replay of the same strategy.
