103. Hillary has already indicated she will follow the Alison Grimes strategy

and run away from Obama and to the right.

So my guess is that she won't speak out against the Keystone pipeline.

This strategy proved disastrous for people like Grimes and Landriu....but Clinton probably thinks she can pull it off.
