I was not going to bother posting this latest Quinnipiac poll. Polling so far in advance is really meaningless. At any rate, it is keeping Hillary in the news while she is not out there on the public stage, so I suppose it is worth reporting and putting on the record.
May 24, 2013 – Hillary Clinton Tops Rubio, Paul In 2016 Iowa Pres Race, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds PDF formatIf the 2016 presidential election were today, Iowa voters back former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over Republican Senators Marco Rubio of Florida or Rand Paul of Kentucky, but Vice President Joseph Biden trails Rand and ties Rubio in the Hawkeye State, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. SNIP
In an early look at the 2016 White House race, Ms. Clinton would defeat Sen. Rubio of Florida 48 – 37 percent. In a race against Sen. Paul of Kentucky, she would have a very small 46 – 42 percent margin.

“The major difference between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vice President Joseph Biden is that she runs much better among independent voters, although Sen. Rand Paul runs better among that key group than either Democrat,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

When PJ Crowley stepped aside as State Department spokesperson two years ago, Victoria Nuland assumed that post. As such, her words frequently occupied these pages. Toria, as she is called, was the DOS officer who expressed her department’s concerns and advice regarding the talking points issued after the 9/11/12 attacks on U.S. outposts in Benghazi, Libya. She was also the person who painstakingly informed the press on a daily basis of progress of the ARB investigation and the department’s cooperation with Congress and agencies in the days, weeks, and months following those attacks.
Toria is a career Foreign Service officer. As such, she has worked under a variety of administrations. While serving as DOS spokesperson, she demonstrated a singular loyalty to Hillary Clinton, the kind we might expect to see from staff Hillary brought to DOS from the Senate. Especially toward the end of Hillary’s tenure, when she was ill and working from home, Toria was the guard dog against intrusiveness from the press on personal issues of health.
So it is with a great deal of pleasure that we see Toria receive this nomination today. She has served well all of her professional life and well deserves ascension to this post.
Good luck in your confirmation, Toria! We are pulling for you!
Obama nominates Nuland for assistant secretary of state
President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration’s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs.
Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State’s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council.

Christopher Stevens.

At Christie’s in New York City, Hillary Clinton accepted the Helen Keller Humanitarian Award, last night.
More than 330 supporters and trustees gathered at Christie’s Auction House in New York to celebrate this year’s theme “The Spirit of a Woman,” and recognize the need to empower and support women as mothers, breadwinners and community leaders, with a powerful role to play in alleviating poverty.
Event highlights included The Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton accepting the Helen Keller Humanitarian Award in recognition of her tireless dedication to the global fight against undernutrition and improving food and nutrition security around the world.
“The leadership from this organization, rooted in such a remarkable woman, has changed so many lives and so many minds over the last century,” said Secretary Clinton. “I’m proud of the work we’ve done together.”

With only nine public appearances behind her since her early February retirement (well 10 if you count her presence at the inauguration of the George W. Bush Presidential Center where she did not speak) Hillary remains among the top 10 most powerful women on the planet according to Forbes which released its 2013 list today.

In 2010 and 2012, Bill Clinton, as surrogate for Hillary, campaigned for Democrats who supported her in 2008 while she, as secretary of state was unable to participate in politics. Newly freed of that status, however, Hillary Clinton’s is the endorsement many would love to claim. In California a few weeks ago to pick up an award, Bill Clinton endorsed and did a bit of campaigning for Los Angeles mayoral candidate Wendy Greuel, a Clinton Dem who is running against Obama Dem Eric Garcetti, while neatly excusing Hillary from stepping into the fray.
If friends on the other coast are benefiting from Clinton charisma, those in New York, with whom an exhausted Senator Clinton expected to reacquaint herself following her 2008 presidential primary and subsequent campaign for the Obama-Biden ticket, will not be receiving any Clinton endorsements during the mayoral primary in New York City.
With Anthony Weiner’s expected entry into the mayoral campaign possibly today via a video shot on his childhood front stoop with his wife Huma at his side, both Clintons have declined making NYC endorsements citing too many friends in the race.
May 20, 2013 11:04 PMClintons Steering Clear Of NY Mayor Primary Fray
The Clintons will keep mum in the Democratic primary for mayor.
Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have personal histories with several contenders in the packed race.
But their tandem statements come as Anthony Weiner, husband of longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, is widely expected to go to the videotape in launching a redemptive comeback.
“President Clinton has too many friends in this race who have been good to him and his family,” spokesman Matt McKenna told the Daily News. “He wishes them all well, but won’t be getting involved.”
Nick Merrill, a spokesman for the former First Lady and senator, similarly said “Secretary Clinton knows all of the candidates, she has worked with many of them, and is close with many of them, so won’t be weighing in one way or the other.”
So while it is clearly a political advantage to be able to claim the power couple as friends, nothing guarantees their support in a campaign, even when you are married to their surrogate daughter, your wife has worked for them, and the former president performed your marriage ceremony. Sometimes the field is simply too fraught.

This private blog is in no way affiliated with Hillary Clinton, the State Department, or any campaign. It is not about a political party or an election. It is about Hillary Clinton's work. It is intended solely to support, promote, and appreciate Hillary Clinton's efforts and not to press into further service a woman who has served so brilliantly and selflessly over her lifetime. As she makes the transition from top diplomat to citizen diplomat, we hope to find ways to continue sharing her achievements with her followers all over the world. Whatever the future brings, she will remain our role model, our North Star, and our conscience.
