When I decided to post links to articles relating to Hillary Clinton running for POTUS, I had no idea I would be updating every couple of days. It is not that they are coming on fast and furious. It is that collecting and holding onto several of them for days, or a week (I originally thought this would be a weekly feature) deprives readers unnecessarily of the latest information on the subject.
Here are more. If I see additional ones today, I will add them to this post. This one is actually from April, but it is circulating in the news feeds today.

The possibility of a last-minute presidential dash by Hillary Clinton has been raised after it emerged that her popularity among voters has almost reached an all-time high.
The Secretary of State's favourable rating among Americans has soared to 66 per cent from just 61 per cent in July 2010.
This is from today. I have no idea who the real sources are for this, I am simply sharing and you can draw your own conclusions.

One Keatsian comment, I have loved that picture of Hillary from the first moment I laid eyes on it and used it as my avatar for a long time. I support her because she is strong, smart, and right, but could she BE any cuter?
Finally, here is a follow-up from Matthew Dickinson.
A Clinton Challenge: Good for Democrats, and Good For The Nation
Categories: Uncategorized The reaction to my last post, (cross listed here at Salon) was a replay of the 2008 primary Democratic primary battle; closely fought, with passions running deep on both sides. Strong cases were made both for and against my argument, made in the guise of a generic Democrat, that Hillary Clinton should challenge President Obama in 2012.
