Time is ticking. If they are going to announce this, it will be now.
Never underestimate the egos of Rats, they are utterly convinced that life without (Heck the existence of physical matter & space!) their schemes is impossible.
Well they would own the Rat party and the perks (meaning $$) associated with that and like I said paving the way for Chelsea.
Here career is over anyway. She has no hope of being prez in 2016 if obama wins in 2012, and she’ll be too old to run in 2020. hell, she’s probably already too old.
Rev Wrights comments "Bill was riding dirty...." and it goes on and on. She's bad enough with the Muslim Brotherhood and a disaster as Sec of State (photos of she and the girls belting beer and dancing-- no men of course-- in Colombia), and of course......Huma Abedin and her bearded Weiner of a husband. All I can come up with on this cup of coffee-- Enjoy Freepers!
True. Think the Sec. of State job came out of her demanding he pay off her campaign debts— never hear about that anymore if she ever did. And also, don’t forget.. she heads the agency that issues passports and “cover” for various types, like little queer weasels who go to Pakistan with their pals and then get a new SS# from CT, and a “gratis” new passport when obambo became a US Senator-— all the blackwash needed— and she most likely can find the goods or has them.
Nancy Pelosi— gays, femiwomen, grafters, machine pols and corrupt as hell— perfect— and a bridge to Reid if we don’t take the Senate.
I'm afraid you're right. The only reason I can think of for her not to run would be that she realizes it was the tech boom, and not her husband's miraculous policies, that created all of those jobs on his watch. In that case, she may wait until the economy looks like it's turning around before running.
But I agree. She has great appeal among women and the left, and Obama would win with her on the ticket if we're not prepared.
I don’t think so. Hillary has been a weak, lousy SOS who has been publicly dissed by Bambi so many times that her tongue must be bleeding from her biting it. She cd have won last time, but she’s yesterday’s news now and, in addition, anybody who would vote for her now was already going to vote for Obama. She brings nothing new.
Moreover, she's in no shape to campaign.
Have you seen any pictures lately? She has let herself go to the point that she looks like warmed-over death -- sagging overweight body, stringy hair, pasty complexion.
It would take ninety days at the sanatorium to re-make her into a candidate.
She’s 5 years younger than plugs.
That’s what I’ve been thinking too...or an even worse candidate whose name I won’t mention. She’s younger and even more vicious than Pelosi.
If the Hildebeast steps in Romney had better get jiggy..
American women are generally slightly more intelligent than a mongoloid..
True Romneys got good hair BUT the Hildebeast rides a broom..
And not any broom she uses an Aswipe2000 with GPS..
“Yesterday it was reported that she would be in Vladivostok and the Cook Islands during the Democratic Convention.”
She is known to tell fibs.
Agreed. Romney trailing or in the margin of errorvto 0bama/Biden in swing states is a big challenge already.
nope
I think Hillary as VP would be too threatening for Obama with the trail of arkancides that followed her husband’s administration. “Death becomes her.”
Bill Clinton took a big political hit from Hillary's health care attempts, and she is highly polarizing. Yes, she may still be able to excite some feminists and Clinton Camelot voters, but it would be very hard for her to win at the top of the ticket this year, let alone as a last minute replacement on a ticket that features a guy that many independents have had it with.
I never underestimate the ability of the voting public to gloss over the details and vote as though they were watching American Idol, but I also believe that people vote their best interest, and a large and growing number of people don't believe that Obama is in their best interest.
What would Hillary's message be? We're going to change things from the way they've been done the last 4 years? How's that gonna sit with Obama, and how does that sway people to vote for a ticket that features him at the top? If she says ‘we still have work to do. Let us complete it’, that just tells everyone that she's onboard with a continuation of the Obama approach. Not a very comforting thought for a growing number of people.
In fact, my suggested approach for the Romney campaign if this were to ever happen would be to play exactly that angle. ‘Are we now going to do it Hillary's way? Then why are the democrats running Obama at the top of the ticket? Where was her advice over the past 4 years when the economy was floundering, the debt was increasing, and people were suffering? If she had good advice, and the President didn't listen to her, why will he listen now?’
Just my humble opinion.

Now, with Hillary joining Obama's ticket, will most voters think it through as you have, or will they think "Hey, remember how great things were when Clinton was President? Let's go back to that!" That's why I keep saying we need to have answers for "Clinton's economy" ready.
Sadly, “historical significance” would possibly swing votes the wrong way and for the wrong reason.
So why is Anklepants doing commercials for zippy?
