A Clinton in ‘Transition’ Keeps Opponents and Donors Frozen
New York Times ^ | March 30, 2013 | JIM RUTENBERG

Posted on 03/31/2013 2:12:03 AM PDT by lbryce

Hillary Clinton left the State Department nearly two months ago, but she still needs a staff to keep up with the considerable business of being Hillary Clinton. A half-dozen people now work for the former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate in a tiny corporate space on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, in what is called her “transition office.” Hillary Clinton Looks Ahead

Transition to what, Mrs. Clinton and her aides have not yet said. But the question hovers over her every move and has frozen in place the very early — but for some potential candidates, very important — presidential maneuvering on the Democratic side.

Mrs. Clinton’s post-government life is so new that she is barely off her State Department health care plan. The Iowa caucuses are at least 33 months away. But that has not dissuaded a network of former campaign staff members and volunteers from starting a political action committee, “Ready for Hillary,” dedicated to what they hope will be her 2016 run.

Any discussion of the 'Bubbasex' Federal Gay Marriage Unconstitutional Law Party created by two of the most sinister, felonious politicians in American history (as opposed to the single most sinister felonious politician in American history) should have the topic of 'crime and corruption'included in all articles on the Clintons made mandatory.

The Bloody hands of Clinton. The most incompetent SOs ever. Accomplished nothing and brag about everything.When the phone rang she hid. She should be imprisoned not elected.

Not that I have an opinion.

It comes out of the same bottomless fund which pays for all of the vacations that Obama's family takes.

I hope the pathetic creature is in transition from being a part-time alcoholic to being a full-time alcoholic.

The DNC, and all who support it, are criminal.

If the G.O.P.E. doesn’t get their collective heads out of their asses, H. Clinton will be the next POTUS and by that, I mean quit liberalizing the republican party.

I thought at one time, they had reached absolute rock bottom with Romney but just possibly there is a candidate out there somewhere that’s at least as bad as him, if not worse.

Transition to oblivion would be nice.

I think she will take a run at it and I think she won’t get there. I do not think her health will hold up. She looks badly and the history of strokes in her family, blood clots etc. may do her in.

I was going to say "transition" from 2008 Democratic Presidential Nominee Loser to 2016 Little Rock Dairy Queen transgender maintenance supervisor.

Can you imagine with all the talk of the Kenyan Kommunist's conspiratorial illegal take-over of the government for the alleged/supposed Obama third-term dicktatorship what Hillary no doubt is planning even at this very moment?

A friend says that all politicians should serve two terms; one in office and one in prison.

That’s a good one. Kinda reminds me of the one of how do you know when a politician is lying? His lips are moving.

Hillary $21.5 million

http://www.therichest.org/celebnetworth/politician/president/bill-clinton-net-worth/

Bill $80 million

I suppose that they could spare a few bucks for staff salaries & office rent as a gamble on a grab for even MORE power & wealth.

Think of it as an INVESTMENT in their future.

lbryce ~:” (from the original article) A half-dozen people now work for the former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate in a tiny corporate space on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, in what is called her “transition office.” Hillary Clinton Looks Ahead “

“At this point ,.. what is the difference “...
Instead of calling it a “transition office”, opponents should
be referring to it as the “Benghazi Safe House”.
It took hillary over four months to prepare her Congressional response
... and yet we still await disclosure of the identity of other +30 survivors/hostages
and still await disclosure regarding the administrations’ arms trade that went on there.

The Democrats voted youth and attractiveness over age and experience in 2008. I don't believe the Democrats will nominate a 70-year old unattractive woman for President.

The general electorate voted youth and attractiveness over age and experience in 2008. McCain was specifically called out as being old in 2008. In 2008 agism in America was as hip as popular as antisemitism was in Germany in 1939. I do not believe enough will have changed in America's culture by 2016 to allow the country to elect a 70-year old unattractive woman as President.

Hillary is old and ugly today, in 2013. In 2016 she will be older and uglier. She is also very white. Antonio Villaraigosa, Cory Booker, and Julian Castro are more likely candidates for the youth and ethnic craving Democrats.

Democrat precedence suggests because Julian Castro is the least experienced potential candidate, and shares a name with one of America's greatest enemies, he is a shoe-in for the nomination.

If the GOP is turning left, it's because the voters that keep electing them are turning left. We're not going to get Conservative nominees until we win the voters over to Conservative values.
