A Stitch in Haste

I'm always extremely distrustful of polls, but given my previous post on Hillary Clinton as a 2008 presidential candidate, I thought I'd pass this along:

The majority of New York voters said Hillary Rodham Clinton deserves to be re-elected to the Senate next year, but want her to pledge to serve a full, six-year term if she runs, a statewide poll reported Thursday.

The Democratic former first lady made such a pledge in 2000 when she ran for the Senate. Clinton, leading in the polls for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, has yet to offer such a pledge this time around.

As I blogged previously:

Clinton should be nailed down, precisely and unequivocally, on this question during her Senate re-election campaign: Is she or is she not running for President in 2008? (Also, would she accept the Vice President nomination if it played out that way?). No “maybes.” No “I have no plans.” No “It’s premature for that.” Yes or no -- is she running?

It seems many New Yorkers agree with me.
