Hillary Clinton Says She Will Decide on Presidential Run in 2014

While most political junkies believe that she has already made her decision to seek the presidency in 2016, Hillary Clinton told Barbara Walters that she will make her decision during the coming year.  Clinton may be playing coy, but time will tell for certain.   Politco has some highlights from the Walters interview:

Hillary Clinton says she’ll make the decision next year on whether she’ll run for president in 2016.  “I will look carefully at what I think I can do and make that decision sometime next year,” Clinton told ABC’s Barbara Walters in an interview that aired Wednesday night.

Clinton, named Walters’s “Most Fascinating Person of 2013,” said insisted she is still hasn’t made up her mind.

“It’s such a difficult decision, and it’s one that I’m not going to rush into and I don’t think we should be looking at the next election,” the former secretary of state said.  “I think we should be looking at the work that we have today,” Clinton said, noting issues such as unemployment, food stamps and the economy.

She said that for the first time in decades neither her nor her husband were in public office, and called it a relief.

When asked if Bill Clinton wants her to run, Clinton said her husband has been “very respectful” and that he wants her to “do what I think is right.”

Clinton said it is important that the country has a female president but said, “I don’t know the exact timing of it or who that might be.”  ”Of course I want to see a woman in the White House,” she added.

The Ladies of "The View" Rip Into Ken Cuccinelli

It seems that Ken Cuccinelli's reaffirmation of his anti-gay animus over the weekend during the debate with Democrat gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe continues  to draw attention and commentary, but not the type Cuccinelli perhaps wanted.  Kookinelli really needs to spend some time outside of The Family Foundation's alternate universe (not to mention get over his self-loathing closet case mindset) or more episodes like this one are likely:

Here are more details via Think Progress:  

The hosts of The View ridiculed Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli for his push to reinstate the state’s Crimes Against Nature law on Monday, a measure that would make felons out of consenting married couples who engage in oral or anal sex in the privacy of their own homes. The act was struck down by federal courts after Cuccinelli blocked efforts to bring it in line with the Supreme Court’s 2003 Lawrence v. Texas ruling.
 
Cuccinelli has long supported restrictions on the sexual behavior of consenting adults and has linked certain acts to homosexuality. “My view is that homosexual acts, not homosexuality, but homosexual acts are wrong. They’re intrinsically wrong. And I think in a natural law based country it’s appropriate to have policies that reflect that,” he told a newspaper in 2009.

He reiterated that view during the first gubernatorial debate against Democratic nominee Terry McAuliffe on Saturday, admitting that his extreme anti-LGBT beliefs have not changed. Those positions, however, are now raising concerns from some traditionally Republican business donors, who fear that his extreme views could jeopardize the state’s economic development, and have left the attorney general at a substantial fundraising disadvantage.
