That doesn't even make sense. Sec STATE is way more prestigious than SEC DEF. She is going to bail on this administration to start the prep work for her OWN Administration which is something she has always wanted and still really, really wants!

The logic would be giving Hillary an even more profound historic first, plus there are those that can’t stand women in power and women in a leadership role in military matters so it paves the road for a female president if she doesn’t run until 2016.

Unless she’s in it for the money at Defense. And then maybe Bill can step into her old position...lol

One knows Romney is worthless if CNN pimps him.

She'll be too old. 2012 is her only shot or not at all.

I’m not so sure that “old age”, in and of itself, is the issue. Whether or not Hillary Clinton is a viable candidate in 2016 truly depends on the number of mistakes she makes. If she remains intellectually sharp on the trail, then I doubt age will be an issue. If she starts fumbling, or acting confused (as McCain and Reagan arguably did at times), then I can see her suffering as a result. Say what you will of Hillary Clinton, it’s hard to argue that she does not come across as an intellectually astute candidate. My hunch is that she will keep her mental wits about her over the next several years.

Maybe she would be viewed as America’s Margaret Thatcher of the left in 2016 (wasn’t Thatcher fairly old during her tenure as British PM?), kind of like “America’s smart and steady grandmother?” All speculation, but I think it’s possible. :)

"I don’t think that Sarah is the least bit intimidated by a couple of polls two full years out from election day, especially from liberal buttkissers like CNN and PPP."

This is so true it bears repeating. Sarah Palin is a smart, wily, and pragmatic leader.

Blacks make up only about 12% of the electorate and they voted 98% for him while still 2% voted somebody else. Even IF they all voted for him, it's still only 12%. It was the independent voter (white) that put him over the top. So far those folks have abandoned him, but if they hate Palin more...

Zero is the only one that dems have that could win. The dems have to have almost all the blacks to have a chance to win!

The independents will not vote Zero, GOP WINS!

Unless the alternative scares them more (Palin). Remember, most independents lean liberal.

Didn’t the poll numbers show that Nancy would still be speaker this year?
