Hillary Clinton hits Chicago June 13 to be honored at CURE dinner

By Lynn Sweet on April 25, 2013 4:47 AM >WASHINGTON — Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton hits Chicago on June 13 to be honored by CURE, the epilepsy research foundation — this while a new poll and the start Wednesday of a new chapter in her life are sparking even more speculation about a 2016 White House bid.

CURE — Citizens for Research in Epilepsy — was founded by President Barack Obama’s former top strategist David Axelrod, and his wife, Susan, 15 years ago; their daughter, Lauren, has epilepsy.
Clinton, then the first lady, was the draw at the group’s very first fund-raising dinner and the boost from her star power was “instrumental in getting us started,” Axelrod told me.

The June event will be at the Navy Pier Grand Ballroom and Clinton (a Chicago native: born in Edgewater Hospital, raised in Park Ridge) will deliver remarks for the CURE fund-raiser at a time when guessing about a future presidential run is the top political sport.

He tried to destroy her in 2008 sponsoring all orts of character assassination and this was after his wife had said that “no one had done so much for the cause” of CURE and epilesly than Hillary Clinton.

  Knew what you meant. I am distrustful of professional campaigners. Where is the moral/ethical line? Is there one? Or do they just sign on for the contract and to get it on their CVs?

Meanwhile, Hillary continues to do cool stuff for the good of her favorite issues (like empowering young women) without seeking out the limelight on it: http://malvern.patch.com/articles/great-valley-sophomore-meets-hillary-clinton-kate-hudson
