Say it ain’t so! Sen. Landrieu in the Faction. “I’m not saying absolutely, positively ‘no’ to private accounts,” she told CQ last <$NoAd$> week.

Could Hillary be next?

The same article says the following …

Advocates for personal accounts see a small possibility of winning the support
of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y. Her husband studied the idea while
president and has since made public statements suggesting he supports the
principle. Sen. Clinton has not publicly wedded herself to either side of the
debate. Her office did not respond to requests for comment Friday.

I think that misstates President Clinton’s post-presidency statements on Social Security. But however that may be, Hillary hasn’t made up her mind? No comment?

Late Update: The email Sen. Clinton is sending out to constituents does seem to suggest she’ll oppose the president’s phase-out plan. And, myself, I’d be stunned if she ended up voting with the president. But CQ still has her down as a possible.
