Latest HOT HOT HOT Rumor From Friends/Fiends/Network News Sources Hillary To Quit Senate
As about 10 minutes ago, people are working this TOTALLY UNCONFIRMED rumor: Hillary will quit Senate.
Reasons are multiple:
1. A desperation attempt to show voters she is willing to put everything on the line" to devote all her time and energy to her quest for Presidency.
2. To do something, anything, to change the almost universal headlines about her imploding campaign.
3. Portray herself as a victim yet again.
4. She never had much power or respect in the Senate anyway. All her power stemmed from her position as the presumptive nominee for President.
5. She has no desire to work in a job where, assuming her Presidential bid fails, she would be equal to 99 others.
6. In Senate, she is limited in what she can earn on lecture circuit. Out of Senate, she will command $100,000 to $250,000 per lecture, 10 to 60 times a year, be waited on hand and foot, and work only as hard as she wants to.
7. She can keep herself in the limelight as head of some foundation she creates, and answer to no one.
8. She can keep her private life, which has been greatly restricted for the last few months, as open or as secret as she wants.
9. She can do what she wants, with as much or as little alignment with Bill as she wants.
10, More than anything else, she was only ever in public life for the power it would bring her and her desire to drive America into a socialist state, and the failure of this campaign signals the end of much of her political power.
The general idea is that she would quit anyway for reasons listed, so why not do it now when there a chance, however slight and desperate, that it might reignite her campaign.

She doesn't need to reignite her campaign. Unless Obama is flawless in the rest of the Primaries, she will be the nominee. The Super Delegates will push her right into the lead when she needs it most. These are people the Clinton's have been greasing and doing favors for over the last 16 years.
Done deal.

She’d rather do anything than release her tax returns, which the voters of NYS are still waiting to see, Hillie, some six years later....

Quitting the Senate would be the smart thing for HRC to do. Remaining in the Senate would be hedging her bets, and she needs to bet the ranch instead.

Maybe she and Ron Paul can get together and start some kind of business after their public life.
Because Chris Peden is going to take Ron Paul's congressional seat.
I really think we would be better off just picking people off the street at random and send them to Washington.

I bet she’d rather jump off the Empire State Building than walk into the Senate chamber should B.H. Obama receive the nomination.

I would love to see:
1) Hillary quits the senate
2) Hillary loses the DNC nomination for President
3) Hill and Bill go nuclear on the (D) party and release all the accumulated dirt on everyone from Murtha to Kennedy to Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, Rockefeller, Kennedy, Durbin, Waxman etc. making the (D) party a laughing stock for the rest of my existance on this planet. Did I mention Kennedy? 4 Subpoenaed absentee witnesses return to the states and people get the courage to fill in the blanks of the numerous felonies that the Clinton have evaded for 30 years.
Not being indicted, does not equal innocent, as Hillary so proudly claims.

I don’t believe it, Hillary would never give up her one platform, from which she can launch another campaign, if she loses this one.

Yep - that’s exactly what I thought - she’ll couch any announcement like that in so much doublespeak that while you’ll think that she’s “resigned” from the Senate, she in actuality keeps her seat.
After all, didn’t she tell the people of the State of New York on 2006 that there was no way she was running for President, that she’d serve out her term?
I’m sure what followed in 2007 came as a real surprise to the New Yorkers who actually believed her.

Chelsea would make the perfect NY SENATOR...she has 28 years of experience and DESERVES to be next in line as a Clinton! She even talks just like Mommie. Oh but wait...she said there were 100,000 uninsured Americans and Hillary only says 60,000 the last time I heard the “sound bite.”

I am sure that Governor Spitzer would have orders from Clinton as to who would be her replacement. My hunch is that it would be Robert Kennedy Jr. That would balance out the junkie gap in the Obama-Clinton war.

Her current NY poll numbers for SENATE are probably equivalent to heavily used toilet paper. This calculating witch doesn’t do squat without some motive designed to make her look good.

1. A desperation attempt to show voters she is willing to put everything on the line" to devote all her time and energy to her quest for Presidency.
If anything, this kind of move is more calculated to show voters that she isn't screwing them on their own dime as she hold one job - and fails to do it - while pursuing another.
2. To do something, anything, to change the almost universal headlines about her imploding campaign.
The krintons never, ever, do anything rashly. They don't flail about like idiots in a vacuum - leave that to pubbie leadership. If true, there's a reason to the calculation.
3. Portray herself as a victim yet again.
Huh? I fail to see the victimology in a move of this kind. If anything, such a move would tend to reinforce her image as a no-holds-barred political brawler.
4. She never had much power or respect in the Senate anyway. All her power stemmed from her position as the presumptive nominee for President.
All her power has stemmed from the krinton rule of the RAT machine for, lo, these last 16 years - well, that and the purloined FBI files.
5. She has no desire to work in a job where, assuming her Presidential bid fails, she would be equal to 99 others.
She would have every desire to hold on to her Senatorial position since she is one well placed power among the most powerful people on earth. She can do a buttload of damage from where she sits now - don't kid yourself.
6. In Senate, she is limited in what she can earn on lecture circuit. Out of Senate, she will command $100,000 to $250,000 per lecture, 10 to 60 times a year, be waited on hand and foot, and work only as hard as she wants to.
No doubt the krintons like money and the luxury it buys, but this species is a dedicated Marxist and that is merely a perk - the real business is revolution force on America one way or another. She'll always have moola, but what she really wants is power. People who think money is a motivator for this kind of creature delude themselves.
7. She can keep herself in the limelight as head of some foundation she creates, and answer to no one.
This one is really naive. If she leaves governmental power, she'll only be a has-been. Who really gives a rat's behind what some clown from a foundation thinks on a daily basis. In the Senate, however, when she farts she'll make the news.
8. She can keep her private life, which has been greatly restricted for the last few months, as open or as secret as she wants.
Her private life has always been off the screen. The presstitutes have always given her dalliances wide berth just as they give the same professional courtesy to all RAT perverts. If you'll recall, Newsweek had already done an article and canned it on the Lewinsky affair with no intention of informing America about what all the press already knew. Matt Drudge broke the story to America and forced them all to take it up with grudging reluctance.
9. She can do what she wants, with as much or as little alignment with Bill as she wants.
Seriously, what planet is this author broadcasting from? She already does whatever she wants because she's the only one in the krinton klan with stones.
10, More than anything else, she was only ever in public life for the power it would bring her and her desire to drive America into a socialist state, and the failure of this campaign signals the end of much of her political power.
This is the most accurate statement so far - but only so far. She ain't done yet, folks. All the people prognosticating her demise need to catch their breath and just recall the krinton legacy. She ain't done, out or going home.
In fact, I still think she's going to not only be the RAT nominee come this fall, but I also believe she's going back to the White House come January, 2009.

Hillie resigns and Spitzer appoints Bubba, which in turn solves Hillie’s prob of Bubba not having a day job. She gets Bubba outta her hair and he gets to chase interns.
