...Clinton, it was time to get moving and get started a long time ago. Unlike expected GOP opponent Rudolph W. Giuliani, who has an obligation to his elected position as New York City mayor, Clinton has been inexcusably camouflaging her possible Senate bid with her unofficial role as the First Lady. Especially since her candidacy was never really in doubt--Westchester Rep. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.), the only other potential Democratic contender, dropped out months ago--the delay represents a lost chance for Clinton to appeal to voters still uneasy about the "carpetbagger" label. It doesn't help that...
Clinton's delayed announcement gives her that much less time to dispel the "carpetbagger" accusation and present herself to New York voters as a serious and viable Senate candidate. We hope that now that she's in official campaign mode, she'll let us know more concretely where she stands on the issues...
...prompt Hillary Clinton to move out of the White House - but it may take more than a change of address to beat out Rudy Giuliani. Mrs. Clinton announced Tuesday that she is soon to take the historic step of leaving the President home alone to start campaigning for New York's Senate seat from her new Westchester home (she says they'll rejoin each other on the weekends). The First Lady said she'd make a formal declaration, including the announcement of her platform, early in the new year...

But what the incident may have shown is that the trappings of First Ladyhood...
...Having switched hats, though, Hillary Rodham Clinton has shed some of the protective skin that attaches to the dignity of her office, making her fair game for the street-fighting political instincts of New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, her presumptive rival. With Giuliani ahead in the polls, it may take more than a definite decision to run for Mrs. Clinton to win next November. New Yorkers are a cynical lot, and Mrs. Clinton's apparent flip-flopping on Middle East questions - and her carefully scripted exchange with teacher's union president Randi Weingarten Monday, in which Weingarten supposedly cajoled...
