I also think Hillary will run against him in 2012. The Clintons feel like the Democrat party is “theirs” anyhow, and they won’t stand idly by while Obama ruins everything they and their liberal pals have worked for. I look for her to make her move if the Rs win at least one house of Congress.
I also think if there’s any chance of a female candidate on the Republican side, Hillary will make damn sure there’s one on the Democrat side too.
Ted Kennedy challenged Carter and his policies, but did not actually enter any primaries after a disasterous interview with Roger Mudd.
But he damaged him just enough with criticism to wound him, and Reagan finished him off.
I agree with you; an intra-party fight with Hillary! would be terrific.
