Seems a little unbelievable...
She’ll be 69 then.
I tend to agree with you.
I think it’s believable, especially in the light of the way Obama has treated her as SOS. She has been the least powerful, most ignored SOS in history and she has been reduced to a laughing-stock, doing the electric boog-a-loo in Third World countries for the amusement of the press.
This would only get worse if she were VP, and I think she sees it as blurring her “brand identity,” so to speak.
If she does want to run for President, I think she wants to put some distance between herself and Obama first. They’re equally left-wing, so it’s not that she doesn’t like his policies (or those of whoever sets them). But he’s fumbling and bumbling, on top of having dissed her virtually every time he has had the chance to do so, and I don’t think she wants to be associated with that.
Also, maybe she does think he’ll lose...
And after having said all that, I don’t think she was even asked to be VP at the supposed meeting a couple of days ago. But I do think she was called to consult (as a sort of proxy for her husband) in the selection of a replacement for Biden.
I think she will be on the ticket.. It’s just being played down to make the SURPRISE at a later date that much more powerful.
