If it looks like Sarah is going to be the Republican nominee, I think Hillary will resign and challenge Obama for the Democrat nomination.
She’s getting old now and she knows that if she’s going to do it, it has to be this time. Roughly, she’s in the same position Ted Kennedy was when he challenged Jimmy Carter in 2000. Carter was horribly unpopular, his policies were a disaster, the hostage crisis had worn him to a bitter nub. Kennedy WOULD have been a better candidate, even with the baggage of Chappaquiddick.
The hidden context to Hillary’s challenge will be, “It will take another woman to beat Sarah, and since I have much more experience in government, I have a better chance of winning against her than Obama”.
My prediction, anyhow.
