And You Long to be Something Better than You are Today: Hillary and Vogue

Add another one to Hillary Clinton’s list of if onlys and what-might-have-beens. Vogue writer Julia Reed (who’s out promoting her new book) tells WWD that according to Howard Wolfson (Clinton’s communications director) Hillary backed out of doing the cover of the fashion bible last December because the Clinton camp felt they already had “the women’s vote in the bag…We thought we were going to be in a bigger dogfight. We don’t need you anymore.” This after months of painful schmoozing on Reed’s part to seal the deal.
