Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
This is what I do if I am a democrat strategist.
Hillary is unelectable in the red states as it stands now.
I push hard for Hillary knowing that she is unelectable. I make Barak Obama her running mate, further sealing the deal...red states are in no way going to vote in a Hillary and a black VP. Sorry, it is the truth.
What does this accomplish?
It ends the book on Bill and Hillary.
It puts Obama in the spotlight, which he needs, and the loss will not be blamed on him.
It puts some idiot republican in the white house for the next 4 years, inheriting the mess that GW leaves, further angering both conservatives and liberals.
Barring a miracle, the president that follow Bush will be a one termer, and the dems need new blood. The only way to kill the Clintons politically, is to have them destroyed in an election.
The only issue that I have with all of this, is the court will then probably get another white male on the bench, which is going to throw us further to the right.
However, Hillary could be elected if, just like in 92, there is a strong 3rd party candidate, from the south, who is a rednecked conservative running against say, Rudy and Hillary...which could give just enough of a pull to Hillary.
