#11  Hillary's best bet is to facilitate an Obama loss, and screw up the McCain presidency form the senate.

By Obama losing, that leaves her with the "big stick" and Clinton Machine - they will collect quite a few scalps over the next 2 years to bring the Dem party into line with their desires. The next 2 years she basically campaigns full time from the senate, and with the help of SanFran Nan, they screw McCain by giving him suicidal "reach across the ailse" on low impact things that will piss conservatives off, and withhold from him things that might actually help the economy and country.

2012 hits and you have the following scenario: Hillary running with a full Dem party behind her including blacks and far left who have been put in their place, and she is running against the OLDEST guy to ever stand for the office, who is facing massive economic problems form his passing "green" laws (which get none of the economic blame, all the blame being placed on McCain), and who no longer has the war as an issue (having been allowed to win it so Hillary doenst have to campaign against it).

Hillary wins in a landslide.

These starry eyed emotional Obama peopel are about to get the crap smacked out of them if Hillary can arrange a loss for the Messiah. They deserve it.


Only way out for the GOP? Make MCCain a one-termer andput Jindal-Palin there in 2012.

#9  Note that Hillary only suspended her candidatecy - she did not end it nor did she release her delegates - I believe they are still required to vote for her on the first ballot.

She is still a circling buzzard over the Obama campaign. (An apt description I've heard).

As crass as it may sound, I wonder of anyone has started an Obama 'suicide' pool -- I don't want to sound morbid or wish him ill but it does seem that suicide plaques those who oppose the Clintons.

#8  Obama will not offer her anything except valueless stuff like 'a promise to consult her' on health care, whatever that is.

What's going on here is that the Dean wing of the party (e.g., all the crazies and hard-lefties) want the Clintonistas gone, gone, gone. And they've succeeded. So they're not going to let the camel get her nose back under the tent.

#6  What about a spot on the Supreme Court?

#5  Department of State

Heh. About as close as you can get to an autonomous self serving rebellious fiefdom as there is in America.

#3  Now Hillary turns from nasty opponent to murderous enemy. She will do everything in her power to ruin his campaign, so she can run again in four years.

Quite right! If there's one constant in the Clinton universe, it is revenge.

While there's no way in hell she'll get the VP slot, I think Obama needs to offer her a Cabinet slot, in the vein of 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer', but I also think she'd be better off as a Senator if / when she runs again for 2012.

And heaven help him if he was elected. He would need a Secret Service detail the size of the Praetorian Guard.

#1  When you organize your strategy with 'special interest groups' and field candidates that have strong appeal to separate ones, particularly the ones which represent large voting blocks, why would you not expect a fracturing?
