Could we have TWO females(Palin and Clinton)atop the tickets in 2012?
Palin can pretty much have the GOP nomination if she wants it. The GOP base is conservative, and energized like we haven’t seen since the 90’s. Witness the recent poll that 60% of GOPers believe that Palin holds views compatible with theirs. There is no other strong, inspiring GOP candidate on the horizon, and since the GOP primaries are for the most part winner-take all, she can get easily get pluralities, if not majorities, in enough states to give her the nomination. And she won’t have any problems raising the cash. So, what about Hillary. Well, IMHO, she signaled her intentions back when she resigned the Senate seat to take the position as SecState. Indeed, it was fairly stupid of the Obama crowd to offer her the position. SecStates do nothing..all foreign policy is run out of the WH..so..she’s teflon if something goes wrong. She’s already more hawkish than Obama..not that tha’s hard to be..so she got that covered. And by NOT being in the Senate, she escapes voting for all the dangerous legislation the Dem left is pushing through, or trying to do so. She’s gotten a time-out..in a neutral corner…hiding in plain sight.
So the Dems are going to take a real shellacking in the 2010 elections. How bad, we don’t know..how many seats will they lose..a lot…can they retake the House? possible. If they do, or manage to get close in both the Housee and the Senate..then Obama’s legislative agends is DOA.
And in that case, look for Hillary to immediately resign as SecState, and announce that she will challenge him in the primaries for the 2012 race. Remember, after the bad losses the Dems suffered in VA and NJ, Bill Clinton wasa the only Dem who said that it was a referendum on the Obama administration. The team is getting ready for the last hurrah..the putative Restoration..And Obama knows it. That’s why, IMHO, Craig was pushed out as the Presiden’ts council. He’s a long-time Clintonista..and no way he can be allowed to stay in the inner sanctum. So, it’s her last chance at the big brass ring, for a multitude of reasons.
Many of you here will recall that up until two years ago I was a long time resident of Chappaqua…unfortunately, right next door to the Clintons. I used to post fairly regular “Reports from Chappaqua” on the comings and goings.. inside stuff. Was recently back for a while, and spoke with some of my sources, and I can tell you that the inner staff is openly speculating, and speaking, about the likelihood that she’s going to challenge Obama.
So, you heard it here first. An all female race in 2012, and we’re guaranteed that it will be a “Madame President” taking the oath of office.
