A'la Ted Kennedy in 1980.

Timing is everything so it will be interesting to see when and over what issue she leaves the cabinet. My guess is before June 2011 and the issue will be Obama's response to Israel's decapitation strike on the Iranian government, nuclear facilities, and Revolutionary Guard command structure.

September 2010. If she waits until after the election she will be associated with the pounding they take in November. If she drops out in September or October she gets to yell Told-Ya-So on all the election night broadcasts. You are correct about the cause being some Israeli preemptive strike. Might be against Iran, Lebanon or sinking a fleet of fake relief ships. It doesn't matter what, just so long as it shows Obama's strategy in the Middle East doesn't work.

One more reason for an early dropout. If the oil well is still going in September it will be hit by a Hurricane as some point along the vast stretch of coast contaminated. Think black Katrina. If that happens everybody associated with the admin is going to bolt if they can possibly get out before the people with the pitchforks and torches can get in.

A'la Ted Kennedy in 1980.

Almost any time there has been a primary challenge to a sitting president, he's lost the general. Johnson 68, Bush 92, Carter 80.
