Hillary 2012: Clinton Distances Herself From 2010 Elections

Hillary Clinton doesn't want her face on the 2010 election disaster for the Democrats. She has decided to be as far away as possible from the midterm elections. One has to guess she doesn't want any blame for this as she looks to challenging Obama in 2012. Remember, Bill Clinton has been campaigning for pro-Hillary Democrats this year.

Although former President Bill Clinton has held more than 100 election events, his wife is unable to campaign because of her foreign policy role. She is currently on a two-week tour of Asia and Australasia that includes stops in Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and Australia.

In Siem Reap in Cambodia yesterday, Mrs Clinton met a group of about 50 victims of human trafficking at an American-funded facility and promised continued American support.

"I am so proud of you," she told the young women, former prostitutes who were mostly aged between 17 and 23. At the facility, they receive an education and vocational training including weaving and sewing lessons.

Make now doubt, this is Hillary's pre-presidential tour designed to make her look presidential in her next run against Obama.
