Most people have assumed that Mrs Clinton would at some point make her move to take the presidency, and this plays into that assumption.
If its true, this could be the Clintons floating a trial balloon to see if it gets any support. If it doesn’t, they can deny it. If it does, then its off to the races.
I am certain that is partly what he is doing. He is also angling for a position in Hilary’s campaign.
This guy isn’t stupid.
They'd have to bump Biden first and she'd have to take his place, otherwise, the job would go to the Speaker of the House if Obama and Biden both were out of the picture without replacements sworn in. Secretary of State is number 4, iirc, in the lineup, and the Speaker is likely to be a Republican in a few months.
Either they wait for 2012, or have a shakeup like there was with Agnew, (Ford replaced him), Nixon, (Ford moved up and Rockerfeller moved in as veep, I think Ford was supposed to resign, but Rockerfeller blew a gasket first).
Short of a Junta, Duh Won won't be around for term 2, he's done too much damage to the Dems. BUT make no mistake--his advancement of their Socialist agenda has been a 'wet dream moment' for that faction of the party.
The next phase requires someone who can wash their hands of that , spew 'I told you so you should have voted for me' and take the ball downfield from where it is. The goal of these people is a Global Socialist Government and Obama will have been just another useful idiot along that track if they succeed.
In the meantime the Dems can blame the political trainwreck on the 'new hire' and get back to Beltway bid'ness as usual sans fat Teddy and KKK Bob.
The wildcard in the works has been the TEA party movement, which it appears has been the target of villification by one Party and ridicule/co-opting attempts by the other. Failure to keep the TEA party movement from being hijacked by ANY single political group or person will result in its marginalization, and will put the Socialist goals back on track.
The fight is just beginning.
