It will be Romney/Rubio vs Obama/Clinton
The Examiner ^ | January 28, 2012 | Dwight L. Schwab Jr.

Posted on 01/28/2012 6:23:31 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

One future presidential nominee needs someone with a totally different ethnic and social background. The incumbent needs someone who doesn't trip over their tongue and has star power to rekindle his fading one.

The future looks bright for a showdown of major proportions this November. The stakes have never been higher and both sides will send their biggest players to the sandbox for the tournament that produces just one winner.

Hillary Clinton is tired of traveling the world as this country's Secretary of State (who can blame her) and she's ready to park it for four years. Where better than as vice-president to her former adversary and boss, Barack Obama, where she can contemplate a run for President in her early 70's the next four years while attending state funerals and shopping center openings through her largely ceremonial position.

On the other hand, bright and ambitious up-and-comer Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is fresh out of the box and itching for a fight with Obama. Who better to compliment Mitt Romney's Beacon Hill reputation than a refugee Cuban from South Florida who just might turn the Latino vote on its ear with his brilliant oratory and grasp of the issues. Young and vibrant, a perfect vice-president who can be groomed for the next eight years, as George H.W. Bush was under Ronald Reagan. It would be hard to stop Rubio's candidacy in 2020 to be the 46th President of the United States....

“I predict millions of Americans going Galt or moving overseas.”

That would precipitate what? Why not just skip that step. What then would be the consequence?

I thought Rubio wasn’t eligible for POTUS/VPOTUS?

It's Examiner.com

Any drunk hack “writer” can make crap up and post it.

Hillary will NOT be on the ticket with Obama. The woman is worn out. Hell, Biden still thinks he's gonna run for president when he's done being VP.

They'll be voting Republican in 2012.

No question. They did in 2008 and they will certainly do again in 2012.

I don’t think Hilary will be running in 2016, though she might like to do so. She’s almost 65 years old. She looks decrepit now. She’ll look even worse in 4 years. I think her presidential aspirations are past. She may be involved in some other way, perhaps another cabinet position or something. Her time as presidential candidate, if Obama is still running for 2012, is done.

That picture really scared the ..... out of me.

I still think she should stay out of politics and keep a eye on her husband. He really needs watching. That sounds a little dirty, doesn’t it? Maybe she should stay gone and not watch that kind of stuff.

Who the hell comes up with this crap?

Clintons and Obama's are like oil and vinegar while Romney is the establishment consensus of the republican elite and is aligned with Charlie Christ who was taken down by Rubio in an anti elite campaign.

Rubio supports Romney and is campaigning against Newt.

We ran Romney / Rubio last time.
Yes, precisely. Well said.

I don't care who Romney runs with should the we be forced to bear the shame of a Romney nomiation. I will not support, nor will I ever vote, for Romney.
