40. The reason I cited the articel was to show that the idea of the Clintons NEEDING to deal

or even WANTING to deal to get a speaking spot is ridiculous.

I agree that discussion about 2016 is a waste of time and there are no 'deals' being made.

Having said that the article I cited did create a stir among campaign pols, and I got a call from one and asked if I had seen it. Her favorability numbers continue to go up, and not just in Iowa;

In the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll, Clinton’s favorable rating stands at 65 percent, the highest mark that the former first lady and current Secretary of State has ever reached in the long history of that poll. Just 27 percent of respondents viewed Clinton unfavorably in the Post-ABC poll.

Which, IMHO, make the idea of a 'deal' for a convention speech even more ridiculous.
