Spin Cycle

Back in 1992, when Hillary Cllinton and Tipper Gore were up on that stage dancing mildly with spouses Bill and Al at the Democratic convention in New York, the sound system pumped out Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop," the theme of that first campaign.

Now, the question for second-term Sen. Hillary Clinton is which of a number of possible tomorrows she won't stop thinking about. The Democratic convention opens in 13 days, and the public position is that she still may or may not have her name entered into nomination at the parley. If she does, as one analysis notes: "It would be the first time in the modern era of presidential primaries that a losing candidate has so visibly endorsed an opponent so many months before the convention, and then gone on to have his or her name placed in nomination."

Supporters today are still pushing her to push the envelope.

For today, the questions that for many reasons remain unanswered include: Does she think there's a tomorrow for her in 2012 if Obama loses to John McCain? And if Obama wins, does she even choose to stay in the Senate? These questions could figure in her thoughts of the more immediate tomorrow, but right now, the speculation buzzes on about whether this year's retro song by the same band should be, "Allow Me One More Show."
