Political Chatter: Hillary Clinton is talk of the town

Hillary Clinton was the subject that consumed the political talk shows, as questions continued to be raised about Karl Roves comments regarding her health.

While Republicans attacked the noncandidate, Democrats defended her but also expressed concern over her strategy so far in advance of the next presidential election.

If you missed the Sunday political talk shows, well get you up to speed on the latest events and opinion in Washington with this comprehensive roundup of all things political:

Hillary Clinton: Its widely accepted that it hasnt been a good couple of weeks for Hillary Clinton. She is being attacked by Republicans over various foreign policy problems, including Benghazi and Boko Haram; her approval ratings are sliding, Monica Lewinsky spoke out, and Bill Clintons vocal defense could be making things worse.

And now some Democrats are questioning aspects of her strategy.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said he is concerned about the inevitability factor with a potential Clinton nomination.

I do worry about the inevitability thing, Patrick said on CNNs State of the Union, adding that its off-putting to the average voter.

I think that was an element of her campaign the last time, he said, without having to specify how that turned out (Barack Obama won). I just hope that the people around her pay attention to that this time around.

Clinton said she was going to take it easy and catch up on her sleep after she stepped down as secretary of state last year, but she took little downtime and immediately turned to writing a book, Hard Choices, that is to be released next month. She has also been traveling the country to make paid speeches, stoking speculation that she is strategically plotting a presidential run.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, expressed concerns similar to Patricks.
