After a year and a half directly in the spotlight, where has Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton gone?
"They're currently taking some time off as a family," said one spokesperson.
"Sorry Charlie, she's enjoying some well-deserved R & R," said another adviser, Philippe Reines.
Clues suggest Clinton has been at home in Washington and Chappaqua, speaking by phone to superdelegates -- but not yet going back to her office in the Senate. There is nothing on her official calendar of appearances, and her husband does not begin hitting the public circuit again until next Tuesday, with a speech at Radio City Music Hall (the former president was supposed to give a graduation speech in California this Friday, but had to cancel due to a campus labor dispute that threatened to put him in the position of crossing picket lines).
Most of Clinton's campaign aides have followed her example, lying low after a rough-and-tumble primary season that only ended last Saturday. Several remain officially on staff, wrapping up loose ends. The earliest Clinton is expected to return to public view is next week."
Translation: Still stinging from the embarrassment of losing to a walk-on nobody whose only qualification for being President is wanting it, the Queen is pouting. But just think about this now...
When she surfaces she'll be forced to stump for Obama. And how COOL will that be.
Then again, it wouldn't surprise me for her to suddenly come down with a dramatic ailment that precludes any serious traveling or speechifying, so look for her Highness to shirk her responsibility however and whenever she can.
