She in unelectable. The Black community will not support her over Barry and even if she takes him out in the primary a lot of them will stay home given the racial motivation that they demonstrated in the 2008 election.

She might be unelectable but if Hillary runs for POTUS maybe she can be what Ted Kennedy was to Jimmy Carter in the 1980 primary. She could only help the Republican’s chance at winning if she runs and loses, IMHO.
I think he will step aside and do just one term. Depending on how he bows out, the blacks will go with her. If she runs against him without his bowing out than you are correct. Remember he gets 400K a year for the rest of his life regardless of 4 years or 8 years. Why should he do another 4 years for the same money? Remember we are talking about Obama. He did not become President out of the love of America but for his own purposes. I believe that is why he pushed so much during the mid-terms and also Obama care so that he already has a legacy regardless of what we think about it, he only cares about himself and history.
The black vote doesn't matter in the primaries, which is where HRC would be contending against Obama.
Her chances of getting the nomination, depend on Obama's political fortunes over the next 8 months or so. He got a boost in the lame duck session, but only on a rather dismal set of subjects.
Here’s hoping you are right. Candidate hillary loses to the Republican.
BINGO.
The same calculus holds true for any Democrat challenging Obama for the 2012 nomination. Blacks simply will not support them in large enough numbers for that candidate to get any traction.
You also have to factor in the media's slavish devotion to Obama. They will do everything to undercut anyone who threatens to knock him off his perch.
Obama will have to resign, or be removed from office for any other Democrat to have a shot at the nomination.
Inspite of the fact that she is unelectable, she will be the perfect Presidential candidate to run against Obama ( that is ? unless more than one state passes a law requiring that a candidate provide their original birth certificate and prove that they are eligible ) because she will draw votes away from Obama and Hillary Clinton will know a lot of dirt on Obama and would be willing to tell the world of his skeletons in his closest.
Maybe Barack isn’t having fun being prez anymore.

I agree. But what’s the downside?
