The Democrats are bitter people, clinging to their Little Red Books and wellfare checks.

[MrB]

“typical liberal persons”

[MrB]

hmmm... who do I “want to win”...

well, I want Obama to “win” the nomination, but for Clinton to steal it.

[bcsco]

She has no choice but to hope that four years is enough time to rebuild.

That's about all it is; hope. I doubt many will want to revisit the Clinton years in 2012, just as they aren't much interested today.

She knows that if Obama wins she has no chance until 2016.

True. But I still believe neither would have much of a chance come 2012; Clinton loyalists working behind the scenes or not.

[chesley]

Is the “smartest woman on Earth” intelligent enough to realize this? Or does she know that the Presidency is her destiny? No matter what.

[COBOL2Java]

One reason may be we have to play defense all the time, just like Sen. Obama, thanks to Sen. I'm-confortable-in-the-kitchen and her supporters. Those pots and pans, and other items in the kitchen sting when thrown and hit people.

Whoa! This sounds like personal experience. I didn't know Bill Clinton was a DUmmie!

[COBOL2Java]

The question for people to ask of Hillary right now is whether she is running for the common good or running for herself.

“L’État, c’est moi”

[bcsco]

Oh, I think she knows the likelihood of a presidency in 2012 should she not win the nomination this year. That’s why she continues to fight tooth-and-nail.

Her problem is she began the campaign believing she was destined for the nomination...and the presidency. Democrats at large have essentially told her she was delusional. She has yet to find a way to overcome a situation she never expected, and wasn’t prepared to handle. About the only avenue open is to steal the nomination. But she has to know what will ensue.

[wideawake]

You're right. But if Obama runs and loses, his name will not even be seriously suggested in 2012.

Clinton will have maybe a 10% shot in 2012, Obama will have 0%.

The Democrats do not have a particularly deep bench either, at this point.

If Richardson is Obama's VP candidate, they will both be zeroed out in 2012. Edwards, Kerry and Gore are done.

Who's left? Evan Bayh? There has to be a reason why he has not yet tested the waters.

Spitzer was being groomed - he's gone.

I agree with your projections. I also agree how shallow their field is. However, the Republican field is shallow, in terms of real conservatives. The one redeeming aspect of a McCain Presidency, IMO, is that it would be a one-term affair. Thus, it would give us 4 years to find someone with good conservative credentials and the will to run in 2012. Perhaps by that time Duncan Hunter will have learned how to campaign better than he showed this time. And, make a name for himself (more so than today) in the meantime.

While I was a Fredhead, he's not in my playbook come 2012.

[Arrowhead1952]

I think his candidacy simply attracts angry people. I do not know why.... but the rancor is astonishing. And I am not talking about just D.U. I mean real life Dems. Even in my own family!!

I think that explains almost all dims.

There is no way Hillary can win the nomination unless she convinces super and elected delegates to flip in her favor and if she does that, she will have destroyed the party.

That means Operation Chaos has been a true success!!

[wideawake]

The problem with Duncan Hunter is that he is just a House Rep.

He has no control over how much media exposure he gets as one of 535 reps and he has no government executive experience.

Senators get lots of media exposure, and Governors also get a decent amount - plus extra kudos for their executive role.

Ideologically, I agree with Hunter about 90%-95% - but no one in the primaries had any clue who he was and he bowed out early before he was able to differentiate himself or get any real screen time.

If he wants to be a serious contender in 2012 he had better hit the ground now and start campaigning. I wish I was joking.

[skimask]

What would you think of a McCain/Hunter ticket with McCain stepping aside after four years and allowing the VP to run?

[Ditter]

I am old enough to know but I wasn’t paying much attention then.

[Right_Wing_Madman]

Because Dems are wasting precious time & resources that we need in the GE, that's why.

[And DUmmie AtomicKitten WINS a Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity!]

Wasn't AtomicKitten the DUmmie who was assaulted by a Diebold truck in San Francisco?

[bcsco]

I used Hunter’s name because he seemed to have the widest support from those who backed other candidates as their first choice. And I still consider him the best of the least known.

But what you say is true. He didn’t/and doesn’t have the name recognition. The problem with the Senate is, there’s little to draw from in terms of strong conservatives. And the gubernatorial pool is also shallow in terms of good conservative leaders.

[bcsco]

What would you think of a McCain/Hunter ticket with McCain stepping aside after four years and allowing the VP to run?

I'd be interested, of course. But I'm not going to hold my breath. I simply don't see it happening. Wish I were wrong, though.

[Right_Wing_Madman]

I ain't angry......but I ain't gonna take it anymore

[You're not angry...just mad as hell.]

[Right_Wing_Madman]

I do not know why.... but the rancor is astonishing. And I am not talking about just D.U. I mean real life Dems. Even in my own family!!

I've noticed this from Dems most of my adult life.

[Right_Wing_Madman]

HIllary is working to destroy Obama's chance in the GE. Her only goal at this point is to ensure that McCain becomes president so that she has a shot in 2012.

Yup!
