Hillary Clinton

The Hillary Clinton promotional tour wages on, and Tuesday saw the former Secretary of State stopping by two cable news networks.

Clinton first appeared in an hour-long "Town Hall" on CNN, before splitting a half-hour interview between adjacent Fox News Channel series Special Report with Bret Baier and On the Record with Greta Van Susteren. Despite the truncated time, it was FNC that delivered the bigger ratings outperforming CNN with nearly four times the audience.

For the half-hour, which aired between 6:45 and 7:15 p.m. ET, FNC averaged a 2 million viewers and 313,000 adults 25-54. For its admittedly very early 5 p.m. Town Hall, CNN pulled 521,000 viewers and 115,000 adults 25-54.

A FNC win in the hour is business is usual. And CNN did simulcast its Town Hall globally on CNN international and CNN en Espanol, so its total haul is likely considerably larger than its domestic take.

True to FNC's aggressive coverage of Clinton's role in the U.S. government's handling of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, much of Clinton's Q&A was spent on the subject. "I know you and your viewers have a lot of questions," she said.

This caps off the heavy portion of Clinton's big book tour for her latest memoir, Hard Choices and since she has remained mum on her presidential prospects, speculation looms about when she'll make a formal announcement about the 2016 race.

Analysts say if Hillary Clinton becomes US president, she will pursue the US pivot to Asia, a policy whose execution weakened in President Barack Obama's second term

MANILA, Philippines With Hillary Clinton expected to announce her presidential candidacy in 2015, what will it mean for Asia-Pacific, a region she focused on as Americas top diplomat?

The Washington-based think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said a potential Clinton presidency will make headway in pursuing the US "pivot" or rebalancing to Asia, seen to have weakened in President Barack Obamas second term.

CSIS senior adviser Ernest Bower told Rappler that the former US Secretary of State will likely deepen Americas engagement in regional issues like the South China Sea dispute between China and Southeast Asian states.

I think Clinton would be more willing than Obama has been to spend political capital in the US explaining to Americans why Asia is important to them. Spending political capital domestically in the US is absolutely an essential down payment for a more engaged foreign policy, a true follow through, if you will, on this pivot or rebalance, Bower told Rappler in an interview in Washington DC.

US media outlets including the Washington Post reported this week that Clinton will likely postpone declaring her presidential bid from January 2015 to sometime after March.

Even before the announcement, the former New York senator and first lady is widely presumed to be the runaway frontrunner for the Democratic nomination to succeed Obama in 2016.

Bower said that if elected, Clinton will do what Obama has not spent much time on: convincing the American public to support US investment in Asia at a time the world faces multiple crises including renewed terrorism in the Middle East.

The CSIS Sumitro Chair for Southeast Asia Studies added that while Obama talks about Asias importance in his trips to the regions capitals, he hasnt done it in Ohio or Dallas, Texas, or Sacramento, California.
