Hillary Clinton had trouble attracting high-powered women to a New York talk hosted by Silda Wall Spitzer two weeks before her campaign officially kicks off. Sources said that after ticket sales fizzled for an intimate, $2,700-per-person, “just for women” meeting on Monday, the event was thrown open to men at the 11th hour, and the deadline extended to buy tickets.
The “Conversation With Hillary Clinton” event at Midtown law firm Akin Gump was originally aiming to attract 125 women. An email invitation seen by Page Six said the event is “just for women.” But by Friday, “They’d only sold 50 tickets, so they threw it open to men,” a source said. “Ticket sales were supposed to close at 10 a.m. Sunday, but the hostesses were working the phones and pushed the deadline till Monday.”
Editor's notes: Understand that the fact of Hillary's second announcement, is a declaration of defeat for the First Lady. It simply means that she did not get the attention or popularity "bump" she expected, with her first announcement.
This "second" announcement may blow up in her face. I can tell you what I will do, as a conservative editor: If there is no "bump," well, you can imagine how folks like me will respond.
But this second announcement is not just about her popularity. The money is not coming in as expected. You should know that the battle to get this woman a Democrat Party nomination is far from over. Should the Party switch to Elizabeth Warren, at the last minute, such a decision would be equal to waving the white flag. Warren is too far Left, but more than this, she is a freshman Senator with absolutely no real world, blue collar, experience. She is a very charismatic, intelligent, woman. She knows what she believes, and has a gift for defending her views . . . . . . and still, she simply does not have time to overcome her two negatives: That she is a freshman Senator; that she is as far Left as the Democrat Party allows . . . . . . far, far Left of the General Population, are two overwhelming factors in a bid for a Warren Presidency.
Yea... she looks real weak

She running scared. Gots to be a reason . . . . fear of winning? Here is the bad news for Hillary.. When pitted against the top tear of the GOP, she is running in a dead heat with the top three (Bush, Rubio and Paul - who actually polls ahead by a single point.). But THAT is not the bad news. Nope. Instead, it is the fact that she is the only Democrat with any "draw," and still, polls under 50% against any top-tier GOP candidate.
