I suppose the real question is: “What happens to Rudy?” He’s continually portrayed as “the only one who can stop Hillary”. Who needs him if Ubama bin Oprah stops her first?

If she bails it will be only due to a “private” crisis. Something like a tumor or stroke in Dorothy, Bill, or Chelsea’s nervous breakdown. A completely contrived private crisis, but one none the less.

Bingo.

It's feasible. Worse case scenario for her right now is to continue losing badly in the primaries as this will pretty much end her presidential aspirations forever.

If Shrillary is convinced that she's going down to Obama, now is the best time to gracefully exit the campaign and support Obama. That way, she can re-enter the campaign as a "savior" should Obama stumble badly later on. Worse case scenario, she'll leave the door open for another run in 2012.

But if that is the case, you can bet that the Clinton machine will do all they can behind the scenes to ensure Obama either does not make it to November or loses badly to the Republican.

One has to understand the Clinton mentality here. They have huge egos and they hate to lose. If they feel they are going to lose, they will find a way to save face. What they will not do is suffer a slow death by losing primary after primary.

Great post. Funny because there is truth behind it.

Not if he’s smart... she’d be a complete distraction as VP, not only during the primary season but if he would win she would be a thorn in his side during the entire presidency.

She’d be undermining him at any opportunity to advance herself. Face it, he gets impeached, she’s the Pres... I don’t like Obama or Hillary, but anyone who would select Hillary as their VP doesn’t have the wisdom to be President.

Look at the mess she caused when she was simply the wife of the President... no sirree any astute politician knows she’s not going to play the largely cermonial role of VP nicely at all.

Better issue a fishing ban on the Hudson River. That water may turn so bitter it’ll poison everything for miles. Get padding for the cats and dogs in Chapaqua because she’ll be kicking em all. Punching the babies too. Her security detail might have to drug her with thorazine just for their own survival.

She’s afraid of looking stupid. Well, guess what? She does to both Republicans AND Democrats.

The libs hate her. They realize she doesn't give a damn about them, that she's owned by corporate donors just as much as, or more than, any Republican. The Dim power brokers can only prop her up so far when most of the actual lib voting base won't vote for her.

We just know she's a power-hungry, scheming beeyatch, but that's another story.

Oprahs endorsement may have turned a close race into an Obama landslide.

Or is it possible that the powerful Chicago political machine led by Mayor Richard M. Daley is flexing its power again? It's likely that Oprah Winfrey--who's lived in Chicago since 1984--may have been asked by Daley's organization to help Senator Obama, who has been involved in Illinois politics for at least 10 years.

I think that’s Mike G’s thought as well...that it “sounds” racist. His point is that if a Pubbie had used the phrase, the media would have “racist” written all over it.

Bill Clinton's wife has a huge treasure chest.

Yeh. Team Hillary aren't quitting --- yet. Recall that ole BJ lost early primaries. And she already has a number of committed Super Delegates.

She knows, also, that before any evening broadcast news cycle, any of the candidates could experience a deaniac scream, an allenic macaca moment, a lazio encroachment, or one of the candidates could trip, fall, and crack his head --- dead.

It is way too early for her to think of bowing out.

The Clinton dirty laundry and skeletons need to be exposed so these two corrupt, sinister, creeps are disgraced and their political careers destroyed as well as Bubba’s loser legacy.

I think that conventional wisdom bought into Hillary’s dream and sense of invincibility and entitlement. And when the MSM didn’t report what was happening on the ground, nationally people didn’t realize it either.

Here's another strategy to ponder. She withdraws now..Obama locks up the nomination on Super Tuesday. He then falls apart under intense media scrutiny...and she manages to get the convention to nominate her...It could work..

Nah, the convention, knowing her high negatives would probably tap Al Gore.

“The Dim power brokers can only prop her up so far....”

The Clinton machine still runs the Democrat party {with an iron fist} as we’ll all soon see.

Hillary will be the nominee.
