Maybe she'd want to out of pure spite, but she'd know she'd just be splitting the Democratic vote, without drawing any support from the Republican side, because she's such a polarizing figure. She'd be the Ralph Nader of 2008 (if Ralph wasn't already running again himself). She's got to think about not alienating the party for next time around (whenever that will be). Better to curry favor by working for the party from the top of the ticket on down (assuming she's not on the ticket herself), and cashing in IOU's for her loyal efforts at a later time.

I voted "no" but with HillyBilly > you never know they are insane for power!

She "forgave" her knob, and will probably do the same for Barry. Wouldn't it be funny if she moves to the R side and runs in 4 years?

if Barack or McCain gets 8 years, she will be 68 when she gets her next chance............I don't see that.............she is going to fight till the death.
and when she loses..........the payback time will begin

The TV talk tonight was of her giving up in exchange for Barbama paying off some of her bills. So she will have weakened his chances of winning in November, cleaned up her accounting, and remained in good position to try again the next time with a not so sublte, "See, I told you so" positioning against an even older McCain and whatever other Dem tries to emerge from the fever swamps. You can never count these Clintons out, they're ambition knows no bounds.

I voted yes, but I'm thinking, she may figure Obama will lose to McCain and she can run against McCain in 4 years and win?

Independant? What would be the point? So she can become part of group that expects to get 4% of the vote in a good year?

First, she will get the nomination at the DNC.

Second, well, there is no second. That's the point.

I wish you were right.
It is looking bleaker every day that she is going to get the nomination.
If Barack Hussein Obama gets it, he'll beat McCain too.
Start thinking President Obama. No matter what has been thrown at him, nothing sticks - like teflon. The tide around him is gathering and looks like it will continue to grow. A younger generation is going to push him through as they cannot see through his mantras.

Agree with Dave - the supers will come through.
The dems know BHO cannot put together enough votes to win nationally but they are scared to death to address it.
Primaries are for amatures. The real people who run the parties have not joined in yet. This is all to make the people think they matter. They do not.

The people will have a riot on their hands if they don't choose the candidate that the population voted for.

Are you a SUPER delegate Dave? I dont know what they tell the people who voted when their votes mean nothing and the "supers" see who is going to give them the biggest kickback for the nomination.

Perhaps you are right, as Slick Willy has lots of favors to call in and if she wins, lots of interns to train.
