How would you like that glare at the back of your head for four years?

[Graybeard58]

Clinton would have to “release records of his business dealings and big donors to his presidential library.

Won't happen.

[Dahoser]

As if the back of his head would be intact for that long.

[The_Republican]

You could make lots of money off of that picture if you could market it..........

Hint: Denver

[SamAdams76]

What we are seeing is a behind the scenes power struggle in the Democratic Party and the Clintons are basically getting run out of town on a rail. It's a beautiful thing to watch. Obviously they made one enemy too many and they are paying the price.

The only downside is that we have McCain running on our side. Had we put a real conservative on the ticket, we could be looking at the biggest presidential landslide in history.

I still think McCain will pull it out but it will be a lot closer than it needed to be.

[The_Republican]

What would Obama’s camp do if Klintons agree to release the records?

They won’t be the real records I am sure, but partial fake records.

However, by the time it becomes known fact, it would be too late for Obama to get rid of Klintons. Then he would be at their mercy. They will tell him how to deal with little problems like that........

Step 1) Call Lenny Davis and Sdyney Blumenthal........

This is actually too sweet for words. The very platform that Shrillary clung to in her lust for the Oval Office is now being used as a club against to get anywhere near it.

Sweet irony.

Touche!

[Wally_Kalbacken]

I think the same could be said of talk that she wants a nomination to the SCOTUS. There is no way she survives an FBI background check or scrutiny of her finances with Bill. And if she could, there is the slight problem that when rank ordered by qualification to sit on the Supreme Court, she is about 80,999th in line.

[COUNTrecount]

It's a beautiful thing to watch.

Indeed it is.

[Enchante]

For sake of historical fantasy: can you imagine what Ronald Reagan could do in this election cycle? He’d win 65-35 or 70-30 with ease and take every electoral vote - with possible exception of DC. Obama would even lose his home state of IL when faced with the real Ronald Reagan..... (not that I’m not terribly glad we had him when we needed him in 1980-89, but can’t we clone him or something?)

[Enchante]

"for Hillary to be considered, Bill Clinton would have to “release records of his business dealings and big donors to his presidential library.” No one thinks Bill Clinton is inclined to do this."

Wow, that's a good way to block the Clintonistas. No way can they release all those names of library donors and his business dealings, etc. THAT would end Hillary's career right there. It is great to see the Clintonistas being frozen out of power, even if we now have to deal with Obama and his horde of leftist jihad lovers.

[apillar]

Barry “O” might be a liberal nut-job, but he’s no fool. He realizes that the democrat “dream ticket” would end up being his worst nightmare as he would competing with both Bill and Hillary for the spotlight and the Clinton’s will NEVER play second fiddle to anyone, regardless of the fact that he’s at the top of ticket.

[Mygirlsmom]

And if she could, there is the slight problem that when rank ordered by qualification to sit on the Supreme Court, she is about 80,999th in line.

Maybe, but she's 3 ahead of Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg...what's your point?

[Wally_Kalbacken]

That the punditry trafficking in the idea of her sitting on the Supreme Court of the United States are smoking crack.

[Salvation]

BTTT!

[Salvation]

You aren’t suggesting Arkancide now are you? <sarcasm off

This is the only delicious aspect of the election cycle! I have waited for this for a long time!
