"If she senses enough blood in the water, will Hillary quit the administration and launch a primary bid against Obama?"


"I did not have bureaucratic relations with that Attorney General. Eric Holder."

John Phillips, writing at the LA Times explains: "Why Hillary Clinton must run in 2012."

Hillary voters ate it up with a spoon –- deciding that an awakened and enraged Clinton with cold cream on her face and curlers in her hair is far scarier to third-world despots than an ex-Illinois state senator.

The military action in Libya is Team Hillary's 'I told you so' moment...with Hillary serving as the realistic, aggressive war hawk and Obama being a not-ready-for-prime-time waffler.

This frustration was expressed by a Clinton insider in the British newspaper The Daily, who said, "Obviously, she’s not happy with dealing with a president who can’t decide if today is Tuesday or Wednesday, who can’t make his mind up...it’s like playing sports with a bunch of amateurs. And she doesn’t have any power. She’s trying to do what she can to keep things from imploding.”


And:

The lesson: Hillary voters aren't only willing to pull the plug on their fellow Democrats -– they're willing to yank it like they're starting a lawn mower.

What the Hill? Hillary in 2012?

While it's true the Clintons are ambitious people, they've never been known to go on suicide missions -– those are for terrorists and hotel chains willing to rent rooms to Charlie Sheen.

Despite her contemporary denials, Hillary would only throw her hat in the ring if she thought she had a better than even chance at moving back into the White House. Obama is looking weak, but not weak enough to justify a primary challenge...yet.

If Libya turns into a full blown disaster...resulting in billions of dollars wasted, boots on the ground and abysmal public opinion numbers, my money is on Hillary resigning her post as secretary of State and jumping in the 2012 primary.

She can even rerun the "3 AM Phone Call" ad...with the tagline 'See, I told you so.'


And if Gunwalker weakens Obama at the critical moment? And if Hillary can make the case for plausible denial?

Hillary won't run. Just like Sarah Palin, she can't win. Why? Because she's too well-known and too devisive. Hillary and Palin tend to polarize people.

Hillary is as big a loser as O-Buma. Al I can say is that if O-Buma gets re-elected, it may be time for all threepers to start getting ready for a rather well organized show-down. Our country has been in the crapper for the past two years, and if he is re-elected the handle will be pulled to flush it down (like he and his marxist cohorts have always intended to do).

The idea of a strong primary opponent for Mao'Bama is indeed a tantalizing prospect. Hillary could provide just that; a strong primary challenge. The problem is what happens if she wins (the nomination). I see her as a tougher general election opponent than a Mao'Bama Rose Garden strategy. Hillary's poll numbers are sky high which lead one to believe she could win. She is dangerous. Not as dangerous to liberty as Mao'Bama but still dangerous none the less.

If H runs in the primaries, that's a winner for the country either way - because whether she wins or loses, its going to be a dirty fight and a whole lot of Lefty voters are going to stay home because their candidate isn't on the ballot and they're ticked off at the other one.
