SLICK HILLY – AT 9:06 A.M. ET:  Hillary is already changing her tune to block a challenge to her nomination from the militant left.  From the New York Post: 

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton wants the Supreme Court to rule gay marriage legal nationwide, her campaign said Wednesday, marking a shift from her previous state-by-state approach.

“Hillary Clinton supports marriage equality and hopes the Supreme Court will come down on the side of same-sex couples being guaranteed that constitutional right,” Adrienne Elrod, spokesperson for Hillary for America, told BuzzFeed News after a story questioning Clinton’s stance.

Now, 37 states allow marriage for gay couples, but the Supreme Court is poised to decide the issue when justices hear oral arguments this month on whether states can ban same-sex couples from marrying.

The campaign issued the position on Clinton’s second day campaigning in Iowa, where she greeted restaurant owners in Marshalltown and then held a discussion at a Norwalk fruit warehouse with small-business leaders.

During her tour, she also stopped at two coffee shops stacked with supporters her campaign had arranged.

Bret Nilles was among nine local Democratic activists who were dropped off at a Mount Vernon espresso shop to talk with the candidate.

“With her notoriety, I think it’s hard to find an organic event,” Nilles told The Post.

COMMENT:  Reports from her "campaign" are hardly raves.  Again, everything is a gimmick.  There's no "real" Hillary, at least not one that can be presented publicly.  But the mainstreamers present her as the ultimate celebrity, not one consumption of one sandwich to be missed. 

It will still be tough for Republicans, but we can win with the right candidate.  The field is growing, and it's substantive.
