They forgot to mention Al Franken. He’s supposedly on their short list too.

He would be except that he got turned around and got on the short bus with Slo' Joe.

With her health issues, Hillary won’t make it to Election Day.

Guess Cruz/Ernst or Cruz/Haley wouldn't compare

It'll be no problem for the 'pubs to put up a winning duo of constitutional conservatives, but we have to get past the Chamber of Commerce taking over the decision making. And, as I said, someone should take up the wide-open issue of the banking mess, so Republicans own the issue for campaigning. Maybe the rep who replaces Cantor in the HOR is a good one to articulate the issue.

Because they’ve had the White House for 6 years. Owning the WH makes it hard to build the bench, the GOP didn’t have in 2006. But by this time next year they’ll have a bench, just like the GOP built one.

Al Gore is still available. If we have a couple of more colder-than-usual winters it might be fun to run as the Global Warming candidate. And they still have Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, and Michael Dukakis in reserve. All with high name recognition.

Chelsea “horseface” Clinton coming up fast on the rail.
She’ll be 35 next year.

Hillary and Chels could be the first “mother/daughter” ticket!

Or Webb Hubbell could run and make it the first “father/daughter” combo.

For a couple years now, I’d been assuming Hillary would be not only nominated but elected in a walk.

I've never bought into that line of thinking for a second.

Hillary is a washed up, worn out, without resume, drunken old hag, whose poll numbers drop every time she opens her mouth.

She lost her one and only best shot at the White House to a virtually unknown Marxist Senator, who could read a teleprompter and flash a 'winning' smile, while spouting a crapload of populist left-wing pablum.

Unlike a good wine, Hillary hasn't improved with age. She's more like a gallon of milk that's gone years past its sell-by date. She's got no new ideas to invigorate the liberal left. She's ideologically on the exact same page as Obama, and can't get away with trying to put daylight between her ideas and his. They're the SAME Marxist, Alinskyite, hard left concepts they've both followed throughout their worthless lives.

Concepts the American people are thoroughly rejecting (see: 2010 and 2014 midterm elections).

And let's not even start with Hillary's considerable baggage, starting with Benghazi, and going all the way back to the Nixon hearings in the 70s.

I don't think the Dems will nominate her, even if she runs. They're a shallow, uninformed bunch, who will choose the next shiny object that catches their eye. They were never going to give the geriatric old witch the nod.
