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.

We can only hope.

No more visions of her hectoring Petraeus. I’d pay good money for that.

right by the book............what you read is already done...but presented as if...what if....will she....

....this is a DEWEY WINS story.plays both sides...

.. all that means is the second Hillary knows the house is gonna hit the head , she ain’t gonna be caught at THE RIO
on the strip in Vegas. (a goes nowhere hole among it all...ugh )

The only question in the air is when she does hook up with Venezula, will it be with American dollars ‘cause she is President or.. “gettin sum Texas Tea...Hugo style.

These grifters will bounce the globe and amke a zillion and will lve til a heart something says howdy.....

....socialism / Marxism pays

I’ll not believe she’s gone until someone removes the ruby slippers from her feet and her spindly legs shrink under the house foundation.

There’s lots more favor to curry, there’s more bribes to be had. She’s gotta replace that $5 mil she pissed away into her campaign.....girl’s gotta live when she dump her man.

She could also drop out and run as VP on a McCain ticket...

I have actually considered this notion, but Conservatives will come out in droves to vote for anything but a McCain/Clinton ticket.

The problem with that scenario is that if she LOSES the nomination or the election, Bubba is in power again and she is once again relegated to being BillClintonswife.

Ask Carly Fiorina. She should be in jail somewhere, and she’s on some network as a business commentator.

She’s an icon among female executives, having ‘crashed’ the glass ceiling.

The Senate is her conduit to bribes and cash flow.

NEVER going to happen that she will quit.

“Wednesday morning at five o’clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free.

She (We gave her most of our lives)
is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
home (We gave her everything money could buy)
She’s leaving home after living alone
For so many years. Bye, bye”

Well, it’s not like she thinks serving in the Senate is anything great. She only did it so she could run for prez. I think if she doesn’t win the presidential election, she’s gonna dump Bubba anyway, even if she doesn’t divorce him. No more sham marriage, except to preserve spousal privilege.

She would have to have a voice transplant before anyone would pay $100K to listen to her — unless she did a tell-all lecture about Bill.

Chelsea would make the perfect NY SENATOR...she has 28 years of experience ...

Senators have to be 30 years old.

This is not over yet. The clinton crew is not going down without a fight. Her last hope is getting the MI and FL delegates seated, that battle has yet to be drawn. Those two could care less what chaos that will cost the party as long as they win.

Quitting the Senate frees her up to wreak havoc without having to go back and suck up the bad blood she creates within the party.

If she loses this time, don’t rule her out for 2012 either. We’ll never see the last of these people. chelsea is getting queued up now for her turn later.

It is a lock.

Prez Hillary in 2009, and the rest is all smoke and mirrors.
