Hillary Plots, Eyes 2012 Bid

With hopes of being chosen as Barack Obama's vice-presidential running mate
dashed, Hillary Clinton has begun the process of carving out her political
future.

The New York Post reports Clinton met earlier this week at a secret
ladies-only dinner in Washington to discuss where she can go from here.

After learning she would address the Democratic National Convention on its
second night - traditionally not the night the vice presidential nominee
would speak - Clinton reportedly gathered her female posse together to
discuss a possible White House run in 2012.

The get-together included some of the top women in Democratic politics, like
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein; founder of Emily's List Ellen Malcolm;
California Rep. and chair of the New Democrat Coalition Ellen Tauscher; and
former Recording Industry Association of America CEO Hilary Rosen, who's now
political director of the Huffington Post.

"You could say Hillary met with her homegirls," one insider tells The Post.
"They're all very powerful and important women. It's highly unlikely they
were plotting anything around the VP spot because Hillary knows Barack Obama
isn't going to pick her. They were probably planning her future."

Jay Carson, a spokesman for Clinton, did no respond to calls or e-mails from
the media, however a representative for Feinstein said, "It was a personal
dinner. They had a couple of glasses of California wine, but the content of
the meeting is going to remain between them."
