From today’s Meet the Press — the Clintons are still dodging the pledge issue:
MR. RUSSERT: She [Hillary] should avoid making a pledge that she’ll serve another full six-year term.
MR. CLINTON: Yeah, I think she should say she wants to be judged on both her record and her plans for the future, but I think, you know, for figures that are large figures in their parties who honestly don’t know and can’t know this early whether they’re going to run, we have no idea what facts will unfold. I don’t think they should make commitments. President Bush didn’t make a commitment when he ran for re-election as governor of Texas and he was remarkably candid. He said, “You know, the voters will have to take this into account if it bothers them,” but I think that that’s where big figures in both parties are in a position where two years in chance, they may think they will, they may think they won’t, but the truth is they don’t know because there could be lots of intervening events. So I think she should just run, put her service out there, put her plans for the future out there and trust the voters of New York to make a judgment.
