Hillary isn’t running in 2012, because that is a “lose” year for Democrats. She is most likely waiting for 2016, when she will have a better chance.
Cons of running in 2012:
1) Bloody fight with Obama at the convention, who will run for reelection and likely lose to just about anything the Republicans throw up.
2) The Republicans are likely to win the senate, and that sweep may well entail “reverse coattails” for a Republican presidential candidate.
3) With a fully Republican congress after the elections, a Democrat president is not going to get diddly. Instead, they are likely going to start tearing down the house that FDR and LBJ built.
4) It’s too late to get a good running start for 2012. When Hillary tried in 2008, she leaped into the race ASAP, and had been planning for it for several months previous.
Pros of running in 2016:
1) The Republicans will have made a lot of enemies by slashing government spending. Hillary is probably figuring on riding this wave of discontent.
2) There is a good chance that the Republican leadership will put up a weakling for president, possibly even a RINO, whose popularity will be in the toilet by 2016.
3) Obama and the Chicago machine will be exhausted, so her Clinton mob won’t have strong internal opposition, like they did back then.
Recover? LOL. Yeah, she's on the "top o' the world!"
Ya' think? Obama goes on vacation and the bombs start falling; who's face did you see on TV?
Do you think that promise is worth more than a paper bag full of warm spit?
Asian people are “brown”? Where’s the Barf Alert, what a racist piece of garbage.

Another scenario is that H causes release of proof that O is not natural-born citizen, and O can’t run again.
Yep, his Mom was a liar.
And the Serbs we bombed in 1999.
