Lazy8, sorry for the jack, but anyway it's a serious subject, and Miss Lily deserves some humor, but I can't take seriously anyone who would actually think that the country as a whole would be well served by a Hillary Clinton campaign, much less presidency...JMHO

So the good news is that Hillary doesn’t have to worry about meeting the high bar for excellence in campaigning set by Obama; few young people will be directly comparing her to him. The bad news is that these young people aren’t expecting to be wowed. They may respond to the argument that Hillary is the best qualified and that it is, looking at the math, her turn. But I can’t see them filling stadiums to proclaim that. Her problem is half the bigotry of low expectations and half the reluctance of a child faced with a plate of green vegetables: “This doesn’t taste good, but I don’t expect it to.” Woe be to her if another candidate with the appeal of an ice cream truck happens to drive by. gosh, i hope so!!!

I submit this in order to get WAY ahead of the cretinous psychotica psychopathica RoveKock wave of hate waiting to be unleashed on us all as the icy fear rushing up the spines of the faithful leave little real doubt that Hillary will be the next commander in chief! http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/2013/05/fox-new-evidence-hillary-killed-lincoln.html WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In what may be the most serious allegation ever made against the former Secretary of State, Fox News Channel reported today that Hillary Clinton was involved in the conspiracy to murder President Abraham Lincoln.Heh heh. Calling all corporate trolls!

If Obama is weakened to the state that Hillary would actually nab the Dem nomination from him, than the Dems are already defeated no matter who they nominate. In our present system, it is virtually impossible for a sitting Presidents party to win reelection without it being the current sitting President aside from him or her dying in office. That poses an interesting trivia question; does anybody know the last time this happened? I don't even remember a sitting president having any serious comp for the nomination since Teddy gave Carter a scare and you know what happened to Carter that year, nature of the beast.
Chester Arthur lost the Republican party's nomination for President to James G. Blaine in 1884. Blaine lost to Democrat Grover Cleveland. Arthur, however, was never elected President; he succeeded the assassinated James A. Garfield.
