Old News for Hillary?

Elderly women for Hillary...Streisand endorses.

And some more history, shall we call it old news?(should we move on already?), LA Times on Hillary, illustrating her bunker mentality:

The Clinton library in Little Rock has released scores of healthcare memos sent to the first lady. But none of her own memos or notes is available, and though some are now scheduled for release early next year, others may remain locked away until after the 2008 election.

Her doggedness was not matched by her coalition-building skills. Chicagoan Dan Rostenkowski, the gruff, powerful former House Ways and Means chairman, felt that congressional committees should lead the way. "None of the people in your think tank can vote," he recalls telling Clinton. "She wasn't persuaded."

She courted skeptical Senate Finance Chairman Daniel Patrick Moynihan, but undercut the stroking with threats. At a weekend retreat after the State of the Union address in 1993, she dismissed worries about meeting a 100-day deadline set by her husband for a healthcare bill. Asked what would happen if they were late, she said: "You don't understand. We will demonize those who are blocking this legislation and it will pass."

Latest polls show her behind in Iowa and shaky in the general election, but Dick Morris thinks she will successfully go negative. She's got a track record on that anyway.

UPDATE: Putting the plan into play---he hit me first. Tribune interviews Hillary:

Clinton said she was "thrilled" by her recent win of an endorsement from the Democratic Committee of Maine Township, which includes her native Park Ridge outside Chicago. Her campaign says she won with 85 percent of the vote in an area that also includes suburban Des Plaines, Niles, Glenview, Morton Grove and Rosemont.

"That was huge," she said. "I really credit all my friends who obviously did a great job of organizing for me."

Clinton said she is not writing off the Feb. 5 primary state of Illinois to Obama.

Chris Muir illustrates Hillary's experience, with panache.
