"Hillary Deathwatch" Odds: 10 Percent
In case you haven't noticed, the Hillary Deathwatch operates a lot like the health meter in Gears of War.
As long as you're not getting shot at, your health goes up. In
Hillary's case, nothing too crazy happened in the past 24 hours—a solid

and Obama showed off their grilling skills at yesterday's Senate
hearings with Gen. David Petraeus and Ryan Crocker but didn't offer

of her "willing suspension of disbelief" remarks last time. Spoken like
a true future majority leader.
