19. The fall she took proved to be very serious. The double vision she's still experiencing
Tue Jan 29, 2013, 07:31 PM
Jan 2013

after the concussion probably has her more concerned privately. That type of fall is scary business for us 50+ folks. I had one around the same time and am still recovering, and, as far as I know, I didn't suffer the blood clot she did.

I think she will do her round of interviews and then disappear to recuperate - if her fall is still effecting her after some months she may decide against running altogether. It would be smart for Dems to be open to either a Biden or HRC run. Biden probably wouldn't be considering it right now if HRC was fully recovered, but, he probably knows a heckuva lot more about her actual condition than we do. She may not feel up to running as much as the media assumes.

Of course she is going to run. She just doesn't want nor need a nearly 3 1/2 year campaign. eom Purveyor Jan 2013 #1
