RIP - Hillary Clinton's political career

Her carreer over? If only we were so lucky...

Hillary is intent on making the Clinton name into a similar powerbrokerage household-term as Kennedy and Rockefeller are. She might try for the White House again herself, or she'll get a protégé; and sooner or later, her daughter will get a shot at it, whether she wants to or not.

That's an interesting theory.

Bill's calling people names now, Hillary's pissed and probably drinking.

Sounds like The Kennedy's.

BLACK AMERICA!!!
WELCOME TO THE BLACK HOUSE!!!

The Clintons have been in campaign mode since 1974 when Bill Clinton attemped to win a seat in congress representing Arkansas third district and lost. I don't see them getting out of campaign mode for several more years. As for being power brokers, they were unable to defeat a callow first term senator in the Democratic primaries for president. So their abilities as power brokers seem fairly mediocre at this point. Nelson Rockefeller was first elected governor of the state of New York in 1958 and served until resigning the office in 1973. That same year he was appointed to the office of vice president after the assumption of the presidency by Gerald Ford upon the resignation of Richard Nixon. Nelsons younger brother Winthrop was elected governor of Arkansas in 1966 and served 4 years in office. He had lived in the state for several years and done well in the oil and gas industry aswell as cattle ranching. Their maternal grandfather was senator Nelson Aldrich from Rhode Island. Nelson Rockefeller was not asked to be on the 1976 Republican ticket by Mr. Ford The vice presidential nomination was given to Robert Dole. So the Rockefeller families influence in American politics since that time is almost none except for Winthrops son being elected lieutant governor of Arkansas.

I'm a little disappointed. I wanted to see if they'd call Bill the "First Lady" or not.

She WILL try for the White House again...that's why she's not releasing her delegates for Obama. She's waiting for him to fail (either in getting elected or in his goals if he is elected) and you better believe she'll run again.
Unfortunately

What does that mean: "..that's why she's not releasing her delegates for Obama" Does it mean the delegates who voted for Clinton won't vote for Obama? He does have enough votes for the nomination, so he won't need the Clinton supporters.

Obama is going to be the one running this time for the Democrats. But if Hillary's followers are really stubborn, and do not vote, or decide in great numbers to vote for Hillary even though she is not on the ballot (as a write-in candidate perhaps), the Republicans will maybe win the election. Then Hillary could run again in 4 years.

If Obama wins the election, then he will probably run for re-election in 4 years and if he has done a good job, he will likely be re-elected. In this scenario, Hillary would have to wait for 8 years to have a chance at the White House again.

Or it might just be a power play so Hillary can try to influence Obama's platform. I don't know. I don't think she is that bad. I hope not.

Obama was speaking at an outdoor pavilion near me last night and I was tempted to go, but the weather was too hot here - around 90 degrees and muggy, so I watched him on the TV instead. It would have been an interesting thing - to see him "live". Ha. He is a very good speaker and I think people need someone to get behind that gives them hope for a better future. He might be that person. But I also like McCain. So, I think it is going to be a good election process from here on - interesting to watch.

The entertainment factor of Hillary will be missed. I loved those Saturday Night Live skits with Hillary and Bill.

And this is precisely why I say it's OVER for Hillary. In 8 years, she will be a bitter old hag. In politics, 8 years is an eternity. You can't dig up old politicians. Thank Nixon for that. That was the last time a successful comeback happened. I don't think we're gonna let that happen again.

But then, we're assuming that Obama is going to win. Right.

Hillary = Satan

Isn't Nixon a star on a sitcom?

Anyhow, Obama will win this November by a Reaganesque landslide.

HAHA
amen.

Maybe there's a potential spot for Hillary on Obama's cabinet if Obama were to win in November.
