If the DEMe’s were going to go with Hillary, they would have let her win in 2008 and moved Obama to 2016. He would still have been youthful enough after 8 years.
Since they moved him to the head of the pack, that indicates they have no intention of going with Hillary, especially in 2016.
I think Hillary knows that. That is why she is stepping down as SoS. She knows her political career is coming to an end.
I think that was the original plan, but Obama outsmarted them with Axelrod and Plouffe. Hillary was the odds on favorite in 2008, but Obama just beat her in the primaries using the race card.

Hillary has now got all the credentials she needs--First Lady, senator, and Secstate--the most traveled in our history visiting more countries than any previous one. She has a huge public approval rating. She will now use the next four years raising money and setting up her organization. And she will do some things to enhance her physical appearance--a makeover--to make her appear more youthful. Being President has been her burning ambition forever. She will not relinquish it.
