That would open the way for Clinton or some other to become the nominee.
Dems lost the House and almost certainly will lose the Senate in 2012. With ‘bama’s bummer numbers, they don't want to lose the WH, too. His 39% approval [Gallup yesterday] number is not encouraging.
According to rasmussenreports, Obama still enjoys high approval from liberal dems and about 2/3 from self-styled conservative dems. I don’t see Clinton getting any traction in that case. Not to mention giving Obama the opportunity to call her a Judas.
0bama’s puppet masters know all of zero’s dirty secrets and will deliver them through various cutouts to a RINO like Romney who will go public and force 0bama to resign in disgrace. Holder’s people will then blame the Republicans for the Messiah’s fall and flock to the Hildebeast to avenge their hero. Game over.
