Down the hole, ride off into the sunset
Will she, won't she, will she, won't she, will she join the dance? To borrow from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," that's the question on everyone's lips about Hillary Clinton and the 2016 White House race.
And just like Alice, who followed the White Rabbit down the hole into a strange and topsy-turvy universe, nothing is ever quite what it seems in Clintonland or the ever-shifting world of US politics.
It doesn't matter how many times Clinton rules out another White House bid. No one seems to believe that a woman who has proved a master at re-inventing herself will simply ride off into the sunset.

Good ol' American culture. Alice from "Alice In Wonderland" actually physically followed the rabbit down its rabbit hole and ended up in a magical land. In that land were a strange group of characters whose actions and pronouncements were often in the nature of political satire, somewhat like the old British nursery rhymes.

- In all the old "western" movies of the 30's and 40's, the hero cowboy always rode off into the sunset, after having performed all his good deeds.
- The townsfolk were all broken-hearted to watch him leave.

Down the rabbit hole - means an adventure into the unknown.
Ride off into the sunset - all the work (or her life's work) is done and she can live happily ever after in private life.
