I cannot believe people are so naive as to write off the Clintons now.
Sunsets are beautiful....in direct contrast to the most dysfunctional three people to inhabit the earth since Moe, Larry & Curly.
A better phrase would have been “drawing the final curtain.” Sadly it may not be the case as HRC trucks along in the Senate and we may face the harrowing prospect of a Chelsea candidacy in a cherry-picked constituency where we will be regaled with tales of how she’s been fighting for women, fighting for equality, fighting for health care etc.
In other words the cull may only temporary.
Chelsea warming up in the bullpen.
Obama needs to pick a non-Hillary VP soon so that if he has an accident she isn’t next in line. If she is, she will make sure that Bambi has the accident.
She’s going to be the veep, probably in charge of the health care task force again. so the clinton’s are far from done punishing this country.
“Few on the Republican side of the aisle had the resolve to stand against her. And as the impeachment debacle proved, those who attempted to do so were all too often undermined.”
Why was everyone so shocked then when she refused to give up regarding Obama? She was credited with having “presidential tenacity.” Instead of that it appears she is pathological in her stubbornness. Hillary must have been the inspiration for the movie the BAD SEED. She is like that little girl who must get her way, no matter what. We haven’t seen the last of the witch. She still holds a Senate Seat. Already I have heard talk from the media that she will become even more powerful. Let’s face it, she might even end up taking Howard Dean’s job. She is not giving up her delegates. She will use it for all it’s worth.
“I cannot believe people are so naive as to write off the Clintons now.”
Me, either! Her Heinous is laying low — regrouping. Clinton, Inc. is doing recon — gathering any and all info they can on B-Hussein-O — to be used at an opportune time.
I agree. She called it ‘suspending’ not ending or stopping. For her, it’s just 4 more years of patience and putting herself in the public eye (if she doesn’t leap in to rescue us as an ‘other’ candidate in Nov) and then she can run again, highlighting what she would refer to as either candidate’s failures as President. She’s far from over.
I don’t know exactly how it works if the President-elect, yet alone if he is still only the primary nominee, should have an untimely end, but I’m pretty sure his VP doesn’t step up.
FINALLY....someone has posted what I have been waiting for:
“I’m ready for my closeup now Mr. DeMille.”
Thank you!!!!
She’s not gonna be Veep
There is no rule as to what a part MUST do. But the presumption must be that if the duely elected nominee dies of heart failure, his wishes would be respected and the VP nominee would be the heir apparent.
This would mean that Hitlery would have to mount a legal-like challenge to the selected person over the dead body of the nominee. Talk about your Operation Chaos!
But I’m sure I read that the VP doesn’t become Pres if the Pres-to-be hasn’t been sworn in yet.

There doesn’t seem to be a distinction made between president and president elect succession rules
Correct, A wild animal is never more dangerous than when cornered.
An example of the practical effect of the official status is found in the U.S. Constitution's provision that if the President-elect dies, then the Vice President-elect becomes president on Inauguration Day. That rule takes effect only after the meeting of the Electoral College. If the person unofficially called the President-elect dies before that meeting, then the Electoral College would have broad discretion to choose some other person.
And this (same Wiki):
At exactly 12:00 noon, on January 20 following a presidential election year, the term of office of the President expires by Constitutional mandate, and the President-elect becomes the President of the United States.The formal oath of office does not affect the automatic accession to and occupation of the office of the presidency, which, in the case of the U.S. President, proceeds, ipso facto, from the expiration of the predecessor's term.
