Imagine this scenario.
In early 2012, President Obama realizes that he can’t possibly win the presidency again. He announces that he will not seek another term because he achieved his goals: health care for all; energy awareness; and expansion of government programs for those in need. He knows he has spent all his political capital on an expansion of American Liberalism not seen since Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society programs. Like Johnson, he makes the announcement early enough to leave the field wide open to would-be candidates.
Enter Hillary Clinton, the woman denied the nomination by the “Change” candidate in 2008. She is every female baby boomer’s ideal candidate, but is she America’s? Her Republican opponent? Sarah Palin.
A historic matchup -- No matter who wins, a woman is going to the White House. But who would win?
Let’s take a look at the brands
You couldn’t have two more opposite political resumes. Forget ideology for a second, just look at education and professional background. Hillary is elite, North East education all the way. Sarah is state school and thoroughly western. Hillary is a pretty classic pol: U.S. Senate to State Department with plenty of grassroots politicking and top- level experience in-between. Hillary has never seen a box that she didn’t check.
Sarah is identified with only one-state and one office. Whereas Hillary has always completed everything she began in public life, Palin has not. Her political resume includes leaving the governorship halfway through term.
But does this mean that Palin is automatically out of contention? No way.
Never, ever, rule out Sarah Palin. Especially not in the climate that is likely to exist in 2012.
If Obama, our philosopher-king, high-IQ technocrat, manages not to do anything different before 2012, how many Americans will want another candidate even remotely like him?

Yes, but what you will never see is the voluntary withdrawal of the Narcissist-in-Chief, even with the Hubble Telescope.
PALIN IS PREZ,,tHE GUY WITH THE MUSTACHE FOR VP.
Glenn Beck showed a clip of Hillary praising George Soros.
IMHO She and BO were both Soros’ selections. He always has more than one horse in every race. As Soros becomes more well known and exposed - he and the Progressives are toast!
iF THE GOP PUTS UP rOMNEY i WILL NOT VOTE. i WILL GO FISHING,
In some ways I like that match-up even better than I do Obama-Palin.
For some reason they keep rounding that down from 32 months to 24, that is a pretty big rounding down.
For that matter, Jimmy,Bill,Al,John,Hillary and Barry are one in the same. All 6 of these guys (and yes all 6 are guys as far as I am concerned) share the same values, don`t let anybody try to convince you that somehow Hillary would be a improvement.
All 6 of these guys are absolute FILTH.
Sarah Palin has more integrity/goodness in her pinky, than all theses 6 combined.
All 6 including Hillary Clinton are total garbage and filth, scum of the earth each and everyone.
Probably I am being to kind to these 6 in my description.
I can see Dems throwing O and Hilary under the bus to save their party in 2012. I think the Dems may nominate someone else.
Well, it’s hardly a match up. Palin with one hand tied behind her back.....;)
There’s serious talk of (soon-to-be former) Senator Feingold, if you can believe it! I think former Governor and DNC Chair Howard Dean will run again, also.
You mean half her brain tied behind her back.
That is good!
The democrats are so marginalizedright now that the BEST they will be able to do is Hillary.
They will do ‘marginally’ well enough with Shill, but will still lose.
The dem party in its current state is done.
LOL! Yes, you’re right.
Hillary started her version of socialized medicine hiding out with a bunch of “experts” together in a locked room because us stupid, “little” people couldn’t be allowed to know anything about her plans (sound familiar?) - she didn’t finish it because what little did leak out people didn’t like. She ran for President because Bill “owed” her for the Lewinsky debacle for sticking by him, or appearing to at least - she didn’t finish that one, lost to the “One”. She IS sticking with this Secretary of State thing; it’s the only thing that she’s done that gives her “gravitas”. The Clintons and the Arkansas Mafia had 25 years of the Clintons planned, including giving Algore his “turn” at it. Only, thank the Lord, it hasn’t worked out quite that way. Bill should have been REMOVED from office for his rowdy raunchy romp with Monica, but the Senate left the House hanging out to dry. It was scandalous for the RINO’s in the Senate to allow such a disgrace. Instead, Bill has emerged as an “elder statesman” still campaigning. If the Clintons are allowed to finagle their way into control again, . . . it will be an occasion for mourning. They paved the way for this poseur that we now have in control. Low, low, low . . .
LOL!! EXCELLENT!
