President Obama should abandon his run for a second term and turn over the reins of the Democratic Party to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, two one-time Democratic pollsters wrote in Monday's Wall Street Journal, which appeared online Sunday.

Patrick H. Caddell and Douglas E. Schoen argued that just as Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson decided not to pursue additional runs though they could have, Obama should do the same.

Well, Hillary already has he campaign staff in place at the WSJ. Cripes, do we really want another Clinton? Weren’t the Boomers happy to have even one?

With who we have running...she could very easily win. It would be close but I’m bettin’ she’d win it.

She looks like some of the now dead, old time female wrestlers... but sadly... there probably are enough progressive marxists in America to elect that bitch.

“...knew something very dirty and scandalous was going to come out about them. “

You may be onto something. Love left the WH as the PSU mess broke....

Pat is a frequent guest on Cavuto and has been trashing the Messiah for sometime now. The Hillary advocacy is new an to me means the committee of gray heads is actually meeting.

By January 15, Obama will have a knock on the door as they come to tell him it is over.

If 0bama loses in 2012 I guarantee that the Dem candidate in 2016 will be Andrew Cuomo. He is currently trying to establish his budgetary and security bonafides in New York State by taking a hatrd line gainst the unions and Occupy Albany.

Don’t be fooled though. If elected in 2016 Coumo will return to be as big a statist as his father was.

Actually, I don’t think she’d win. She’s been a very ineffective SOS and has made a lot of major blunders, in addition to obviously getting no respect from the White Hut. She doesn’t really have anything to run on ... except having been Bill Clinton’s wife, but that’s getting sort of stale now.

If they don’t run Obama, blacks will not turn out very heavily to vote (and even if the GOP were to run West or a good black candidate, blacks simply wouldn’t vote for anybody but a black Dem, so we wouldn’t pick up the difference). But I don’t think women will turn out that heavily to vote for Hillary anymore, either.

If the Dems want somebody other than Obama, I think they’d better keep searching.

The left is clearly worried. Chrissie Matthews went on a rant about how Barry refuses to talk to any DNC operatives or top senate/house people. What Chrissie is hinting at, but is afraid to say, is that as president Obama is lazy. He’s an energetic campaigner, no doubt. But he doesn’t have one-tenth Reagan’s stamina or energy when it comes to being president. We have actually been fortunate to have a lazy radical in office: had he possessed Clinton’s energy, I think we’d already be sunk.

Actually, no.

Hillary polls far and away better vs. the GOP field. For some damn reason, with all her many faults, the public just loves her (to the tune of 66-70% approval).

And the country would be absolutely no better with her in the WH. She’s an old white male version of Barry with pants.

That is a very bold statement.

She could very easily win...OR it would be close...You forgot, or maybe, she could lose.

Now, you are covered, and your bet is safe.
