Beth Reinhard: “So much has happened since Clinton quit the race on June 7, 2008; and her tenure as secretary of State plus a year away from pub­lic office has allowed her to avoid fervid political debates…”

“The gap in Clinton’s public record between her first presidential campaign and the moment if and when she launches a second one offers both opportunity and risk. Opportunity for a baggage-laden veteran to reintroduce herself to voters and reposition herself to be more appealing to the rising populist Left. Risk, in that critics will scrutinize the reintroduction and repositioning for flip-flops.”
