From Yahoo:
While the rest of the political world is preoccupied with the midterm elections, Chicago dentist William DeJean is hatching plans for 2012. He shelled out $5,000 to create an ad encouraging Americans to back a Hillary Clinton presidential run in 2012. He says the spot will run in New Orleans, Washington, New York and Los Angeles…
This is something which in any sort of normal political climate simply would not happen – but, this isn’t a normal political climate.
To be sure, if Hillary were to challenge Obama for the nomination, she’d almost certainly lose. If by some chance she were able to defeat Obama in the primaries, she’d probably lose the general election as a divided Democrat party gets crushed by a united and surging Republican party. So, why would Hillary do it?
The answer is, “because she figures she could divide the GOP – or senses that the GOP is becoming divided and thus thinks she can pull it off”. How would the GOP become divided? That would happen if we go through all the trouble of electing a new GOP Congressional majority only to find them RINOing it all to heck and gone. In other words, if they shy away from attempting to repeal Obamacare or don’t ruthlessly block the confirmation of liberal judges…then the GOP rank and file just might get very, very angry and start casting about for a Third Party alternative.
Could be a very interesting couple of years – our first sign of a Hillary run coming would be her resignation as Secretary of State by about March of 2011…giving her enough time to both distance herself from Obama and build up her campaign team on the sly.
