I may be the lone wolf, but I think this book tour is the start of his conquest to become the next Secretary General of the UN.

He still has time to be elected President again.

But that's unconstitutional! you say. Well, you're right about that. But here's what I'm thinking.

Many Republicans want a constitutional amendment to allow Arnold Schwarzenegger (or any other naturalized US citizen who has been here a very long time) to be eligible to be president. Democrats, knowing what that's about, will never support that.

Many Democrats want the two-term limit for the presidency lifted. (Really. Go back and look while Clinton was president and see how many times that proposal was made in Congress.) No Republican is likely to support that.

Combine the two, and you've got an amendment that might just pass, and Bill will certainly get behind it.

The suggestions you heard back in the late 1990s about amending the Constitution so that Clinton could run again were nothing more than bullsh!t intended to create a legacy for him. The presumption was that he would have won in a landslide of historic proportions "if only he could have run again," but the reality is that this was far from the truth.

This is precisely why you never saw media polls back then dealing with how Clinton would fare in hypothetical races against various opponents. I saw the results of one such poll during the 2000 campaign, and was surprised to see that not only would he have lost to George W. Bush in 2000 . . . he would have lost to former President George Bush as well.
