Hillary's relationship with Huma Abedin is getting some respectable attention: [View All]

[dailykoff]

If Obama's relationship with his pastor is considered a suitable subject for GDP speculation, as I believe it is, shouldn't Hillary's relationship with "mystery woman" Huma Abedin also be suitable? Apparently the press thinks so. For example, here's a perfectly respectable article in a perfectly respectable publication about Huma:

Hillary’s Mystery Woman: Who Is Huma?
Senator Clinton’s closest aide, Ms. Abedin never sweats; Oscar de la Renta wants to dress her

On a day-to-day basis, Ms. Abedin is responsible for guiding the Senator from one chaotic event to the next and ensuring that the many hundreds of situations that arise at each—the photo ops, the handshakes, the speeches—go smoothly. The job of “body person”—industry-speak for the catchall role of an omnipresent traveling assistant—is a notoriously grueling one, requiring unfaltering level-headedness and a zeal for multitasking. These folks are constantly on the move, juggling 20 different chores, and they consequently often appear slightly disheveled (or even sweaty).

By most quantifiable measures, Ms. Abedin has the most challenging of those gigs. In the last 10 days, she has accompanied Mrs. Clinton to more than 20 events, involving nine plane flights and several trains. At each stop, they were mobbed.

“I think she has special powers,” said public-radio broadcaster Katia Dunn, who recently crossed paths with Ms. Abedin and Mrs. Clinton at a café on Capitol Hill.

Ms. Dunn explained that she had heard about the “cult of Huma,” but had never met her. “All of a sudden, I turn around and there was this woman I now know to be Huma. And it wasn’t just that she was gorgeous—she did just sort of have this presence. She stopped me in my tracks for a second.”
