Bill Clinton so wants to be back in the helm of the Democratic Party, so to speak.
Clinton understands something Barry and Axelrod simply don't get: A Democrat cannot win a national campaign running as a liberal. The only way for a Democrat to ensure victory is to run to the right of his GOP opponent on economic issues. Barry can't do that.
Well, if Obama goes down in the election,then the Clintons will be back as the titular heads of the Democrat party. And as the Dems. look to 2012, Hillary may well be the front-runner.
The Clintons are making their future plans. No doubt about that. They are looking to a 2012 primary campaign where Obama won’t be a factor. Once Democrats lose the general election, they never seem to come back and try again. The Clintons think with Obama out of the way for 2012, Hillary will be the front-runner.
The Clintons also hope that we have huge economic problems that they can use against McCain in the 2012 campaign. And they will say “it’s the economy stupid”.
It’s paradoxical that bad news for our country, either our economy, or in foreign policy such as Iraq, becomes good news to the Democrat party.
