..no, she had her chances in '08 and this cycle

she should have run against Obama, like Kennedy did Carter (probably with the same result)--by 2016 the clock will have completely run out on the Clintons...

If Hillary runs in 2016, she’ll be as old as Reagan was when he ran in 1980 (69). Don’t think she’ll be able to pull it off like Reagan did. She’s not aging quite as gracefully. Despite his age, Reagan came across as a positive, energetic person on the campaign trail. Hillary...not so much.

That report, with Biden and Obama and Clinton at lunch, reminds me of “The Maltese Falcon”, when Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart) and Kaspar Gutman (Sydney Greenstreet) are figuring out how to cooperate together and lay all of the blame on low level thug Wilmer, who happens to be in the same room and is unable to stop the open plotting against him.

All this talk about Hillary just means the Obama campaign is broke and they don’t know how to fix it.
- Can’t run on the economy
- Joe is proving that he’s always been an a$$
- The MSM is upset that Zero won’t talk to them
- R2 is taking the fight to them on Obamacare and Medicare
- Mitt won’t give them his tax records

Besides, Klinton is old and tired and hasn’t had a new idea in years. Bill is pushing it for his own purposes, just to get back in the spotlight.

Can she and Bill Clinton constitutionally HAVE a second co-Presidency?

She is rejecting running with a very flawed and hated president that even his party is not happy with and refusing to run 4 years from now with his failed policies and blame on her shoulders. She instead will take on running with an enthused dem base in 4 years after the reign of a republican president whose base already does not like or trust and with 4 years under his belt of proving to his base he is no conservative.

Yep...I would make that choice also if I really wanted to win.

Any speculation on who the next Secretary of Hate will be?

I heard they’re going to ask Jimmy Carter to take Biden’s slot on the ticket.

It means two things.

First, Hillary does not think that Obama will win. If Hillary is the VP and the Obama/Hillary ticket looses in November, her political career is over as far as an elected office is concerned. While tempting, it is too risky to be on the ticket now as the VP.

Second, it means that the Clintons will see to it that Obama looses in November. Sometimes the republicans can get help from the most unlikely of places.

What a racist. Well, that would be the narrative if Obama was Republican and Sarah Palin had turned down the #2 site.

Hillary! can’t afford to have anyone question her right now about her “body woman” Huma Weiner.

In the next four years Mrs. Weiner will not be so front and center if Hillary! is no longer the SOS.

Huma will continue, no doubt, in her old “advisory” position, it’s just that she will no longer be visible.

I do not believe this at all, not even for a second.

Anyone else here think that Hillary doesn’t want to be on the ticket because she can’t stand the little creep and doesn’t want to go down in the history books with his name attached to hers?

I really doubt that Hillary will run when she is pushing 70 years old, although I could be mistaken.
To me, the Clinton’s time to reach the top has faded...

From my understanding, Hillary would be glad to call it quits.

But Bill Clinton is still after that third term.

Klein said she cited two reasons: If elected, she didn't want to be tied to Obama's left-leaning politics in her own 2016 bid. Second, if Obama loses, she would be tarred as a loser.

She doesn't want to be link with the Liberal Messiah more than she is already. I think she made the right decision.
