LONDON: Speculation is rife that Hillary Clinton may run for the US president's office in 2016, as her husband Bill is back on the campaign trail -- offering thanks to those who backed her in 2008 against Barack Obama, a media report said.
According to Britain's 'The Daily Telegraph', former President Bill Clinton has been laying the foundations for the Secretary of State's another try in 2016, by campaigning for Democratic politicians who helped his wife Hillary run for the president's office against President Obama two years back.
In fact, Bill, now a globe-trotting philanthropist, went to Española, New Mexico, the site of the first European colony in America, last week to campaign for Diane Denish, the Democratic candidate for the governor.
Denish had supported Hillary against Obama in 2008 and Bill was back to repay the debt; he made crystal clear who he was representing on the campaign trail -- and it wasn't Obama, the report said.
"I planned to do about one stop for everybody that helped Hillary run for president because she's one of only two members of the president's cabinet who cannot participate in politics," he told a gathering of 4,000 people.
As Secretary of State, he reminded people, is not permitted to campaign. "Then I got out here and started stirring around and realised that a lot of people were mad and even more confused and I didn't want it on my conscience so I just loaded up and started strolling around," Bill said.
Bill's energetic reappearance on the campaign trail comes just as rumours, some of them eagerly fuelled by the Clinton camp, swirl that Hillary might replace the hapless Joe Biden as Obama's vice-presidential running mate in 2012 or even challenge the President for the Democratic nomination if his popularity continues to slide.
If that’s true, Hillary must wish for Obama to lose in 2012. It’s easier to run against an opposing party candidate than have to defend a disaster.
Obama asked Hillary to be VP and she turned the usurper down, thus the joey bite me best decision a usurper could make comment. Hillary Rod will start running early next year for 2012.

Hill-Dawg will be, what, about 83 by then? I can’t imagine a scenario where she’d appeal to enough voters to get the nomination in even one state.
A haggard old lesbian with a history like hers would be easy to dismantle.
2016?
She’ll look like Maddie Halfbright by then, ain’t gonna happen
2012. Bank on it. And Ol’Bill will need more luck than Dick Cheney to even be alive in 2016. He’s the picture of walking death.
By then we will have forgotten her betrayal of Israel.
We will have forgotten bubba’s ignoring the bombing of our two African Embassies.
We will have forgotten the bombing of the USS Cole
We will have forgotten the purloined FBI files.
We will have forgotten the suspicious death of Vince Foster.
RUN HILLARY RUN
Barry is going to step down “for the good of the party” and because America is “so rasis and not ready for a black president”. Hillary will be at the top of the ballot in 2012. The ‘RATS have used Barry up. They don’t need him anymore.
Imagine a 183 year old Hillary challenging an incumbent and hugely popular late 40’s Sarah Palin. Difficult to see how she would pull that off.
can't wait to dig out the Clinton dirt, he will need to put some ICE on his wounds!!! and hers as well...
She’ll be too ugly by then. The aging process has not been kind to her.

No. Her shot was in ‘08. She missed.
People keep saying she can or will run in 2012, but she will be running on the rubble of the Democrat party that BO leaves, and may tick off the blacks.
She missed her shot. It is over for her.
Huh...well that means that as first lady she could participate in politics.
..Chinagate ..clinton giving china missile secrets for cash etc.
2016?
Silly Indians, it’s going to be 2012.
“2012. Bank on it. And Ol’Bill will need more luck than Dick Cheney to even be alive in 2016. He’s the picture of walking death.”
I disagree that she will run. Agree on Billybones Clinton. A friend of mine described that look as “like Death eating a cracker”.
Me’s ready to wager she runs again 0Bozo in 2012 primary...
She;s just making up the 2016 stuff. It’s 2012. Hitlery will be too old, and too used up as an incumbent politician to do any damage. The clintoons are up to something and never forgave Obama after the loss.
