One day after Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2008, reportedly “bombed” in a Washington speech on energy at the National Press Club Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut announced that he was preparing to run for the Democratic nomination for President. The Financial Times reports today that Mrs. Clinton “faces intense scrutiny from within the Democratic party.” Some Democratic leaders are worried that “she is such a polarising figure…that, they fear, she stands no chance of winning the general election. And still others worry about what could be called Clinton fatigue and a hesitancy to return to the scandals that plagued Mr. Clinton’s tenure. The New York Times provided a reminder of that yesterday with a front-page story about the state of the Clinton marriage,” reports the Financial Times.
