Obama will get the nomination and lose dramatically in November. McCain will be a one term president and Hillary will be back in 2012 telling everybody they should have nominated her in ‘08 instead of Obama an I told you so moment).

But, will Hillary have strong Dem. support in ‘12, after all the ill feelings of this years campaign?

And, couldn’t there be another new face on the scene in 2012, similar to Obama rising up this year to challenge the presumptive front runner Hillary?

You go girl! All the way to Denver!

I never thought I would find myself rooting for Billary. I think I’ll go shower now.

Osama bin Obama cares and took let the MSM tell you otherwise. Every minute Hillary stays in the race, the less time the media gets to attack McCain. The more time Hillary uses in the primaries, the less vacation time the media will have will their families. (AHHHH) I hope the battle lasts until the convention. Remember, there is no law or rule in the democrat party that states she HAS to quit. Go Hillary GO.

I really don't think she will run in 2012 if she doesn't win the nomination now. In 4 years all that botox will have left it's scars, her face will have dropped well below her jawline.
Besides her skin loosing all it support, she loosing support from Democrats in general. She's been around to long, everyone has heard everything she has to say. They are tired of Hillary. Her support has been in decline ever since she ran for senate. There won't be hardly any left in 2012.

It's now or never for her, and why she is hanging on to the bitter end now.

I do think McCain is a one term deal however. Seems like another Ford. Let's just hope we don't get another Carter after him.

Call me a dreamer but I would love to see rejected Billary run as an Independent.

I swear, the way everyone here counts Obama out is dismaying.

While he is certainly more beatable than Hillary, he will be a very formidable opponent in November.

If McCain can pull it out - and I have no real faith that he will - it will be by one or two states max.

Obama is going to swamp him in donations, support, and positive media attention.

McCain will be treated like dirt and be painted as another very old white man who is nothing more than a Bush clone, and a furthering of the same old tired and failed Republican policies.

Voters will flock to Obama.

“As Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton made a last-minute trip to West Virginia and declared her intent to stay in the race, aides to Sen. Barack Obama signaled Wednesday that he would move towards a general election strategy over the next month. “

Big Mistake for Obooma. The beast works best when nobody is looking.

Well, yer right, age hasn’t been kind to her and she may be far too ugly by 2012.

If Bobama loses it will be because of high negatives cause of the “black power” tone of his campaign. Why would the rats then turn to Hillary who has sky high negatives of her own and a scandal for every letter of the alphabet. They’d likely turn to a Governor with a clean record.

There seems be a lot of people who seem to think she is some kind of supernatural evil. She’s just a woman, a stupid **** who ran a lousy race and let a flashy nobody beat her. She will never be President.

Hillary may still run in 2012, and I am one of the people who think that’s why she’s staying in so long now - to damage Obama so that McCain wins, knowing that he will in all likelihood only be a one-termer.

One major mark against her is that the democraticals don’t treat their also-rans very well as far as giving them the nomination once they’ve blown their chance at the first one. Plus, I think many dems have had it with the Clintons, and just want them to go away.

I totally agree with your assessment. I want to believe that Obama is weak, but the sheeple are begging for something different this time. He fits the mold, and they don’t want to hear otherwise.
