The groundwork being laid for a Hillary Clinton presidential run in 2016 overlooks a single, almost unthinkable scenario: What if she doesn't run?
After all, while that might sound like heresy to the various Democratic groups now raising money, locking down political talent and generally acting as a campaign-in-waiting on her behalf, it's not certain she will run.
A year can be a long time in politics. By the time Clinton would have to make her intentions known late this year or early next, she may decide to go from "inevitable" to "never mind" for personal reasons, despite the immense pressures to run.
A "no" from Clinton would leave a vacuum that would be hard to fill.
"I think the first thing is, if she decides not to run, there'll be a whole bunch of people who will be unemployed," said Iowa Democratic Party chairman Scott Brennan, who attended a recent Ready for Hillary event in Des Moines organized by some of those very same people.

And if Obama ignores the constitution like usual Hillary won’t have to run. Who’s going to stop him? Boehner?
They could run Maxine Waters and/or Sheila Jackson Lee and have a twofer...
I think that the Democrats are desperate to nominate a woman. Elizabeth Warren might just fit the bill.
We all hate you for that.
No problem. Obama writes an Executive order allowing for a third term for president. Dems and the MSM tell us how this would be a great thing because it is the will of the people. Republicans decry this changing of the law, but no one does anything about it.
Obama runs for third term and tens of millions of fake voters put him over the top. Dems declare a great victory for democracy. Republicans decry the fraud and bring back solid evidence of it. No one does anything about it.
Obama runs for fourth term in 2020. Repeat cycle until he dies.
Are you serious?
Smart Nazi vs dumb Nazi. Hard call.
Okay now I get your point.
Hillary is a used-up drunk.
Democrats have an endless supply of talentless egomaniacs... more money than brains...
Maybe they can run a Kerry, Cuomo, Biden or Kennedy - some 'born on third thinks they hit a triple' type... NPR would love that.
Dammit. I was hoping you could show me where I’m wrong...
Not completely used up...
She looks like the vile senile harridan she is.
Recall how quickly the 'Rats dumped her once Obama appeared to be a credible candidate? She went from "inevitable" to "yesterday's news" over a weekend.
The MSM, especially, turned on her with a vengeance. They suddenly recalled all those times that the Clintons had cynically "used" them...and all the bitterness came out.
If somebody else remotely interesting should pop-up, they'll toss her away again -- like a flat beer.
Socialist must keep a death grip on the country even if she fails to run they will have another Obama/Hillary in the wings.
“If somebody else remotely interesting should pop-up,”
There are all kinds of beloved femi-nazis out there that could replace Shillary:
Oprah, Wendy Davis, Sandra Fluke, etc.
I’m sure Moochelle could easily be persuaded to run. As president she could makes selfies of her with Mugabi or Castro while OweBowMao pouts off to the side.
I hope the bitch has both, plus HIV Aids that she got from obama {either one or both}, scurvy, hepatitis, GONG-GORE-eaha, that she caught from al and gave to fat al and jessee, toe nail fungus, gall stones, crones disease, COPD, hoof and mouth disease, lymes, ad infinitum....
Father, forgive me, it's been ... since my last Confession...
Aren’t you supposed to avoid eye contact with savage beast?
She’s already running...unofficially. She’s had the remake, and now she’s trying to look presidential. It’s all about the public persona.

Exactly right....style over substance...National Pablum Radio comes out with stories like this to get people fired up..”she must run, we must support her..who will save us!”....all theatre, all the time.
