Hillary Clintion refers to the next President as a HE.
Senator Hillary Clinton has referred to the next president as “he”, a slip that has fuelled speculation that she is on the verge of dropping out of the race for the White House.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1949789/US-elections-Hillary-Clinton-'about-to-drop-out'.html

As the former First Lady met voters at three events in West Virginia, attention turned to how she could make a graceful exit from a gruelling, 17-month contest.

She carried on campaigning despite confessions from senior staff that winning the Democratic Party’s nomination was a near impossibility and that her campaign was $21 million (£10 million) in debt.

Her financial problems, if nothing else, may force her to bow out after ending on a high note in West Virginia, where she is expected to beat Senator Barack Obama by a landslide in Tuesday's primary contest.

Speaking to voters in the Appalachian state, she said: “All the kitchen table issues that everybody talks to me about are ones that the next president can actually do something about, if he actually cares about it.” Realising her faux pas, she added: “More likely if she cares about it!”
<...>


Hmm, a slip of the tongue? Or are there tea leaves here that need to be analyzed and divined upon?

3. I think it's more of an "working overtime exhaustion" thing
or perhaps shes doing a subtle transfer of power to Obama...she HAS eased her attack dogs off (all save the few here who are suffering from one mental malady or another..,)

4. Then there is this paragraph from the article.
This information certainly wants to be speculated on.

"Though Mrs Clinton continues to make her case as the best next president of the US, she has noticeably softened her tone on Mr Obama in the past few days, after weeks of direct attacks on his readiness for the White House. She also much less regularly peppers her speeches with the phrase “When I am president...” - another sign that her inner conviction is fading."


So is she fading? Or is she just faded at the moment?
