Hillary Clinton has publicly stated that she will not challenge the
President for the 2012 Democratic
nomination, but it would be naive to conclude that Hillary Clinton has ruled out
2012.
If
Barack Obama's first term
succeeds, his Democratic re-nomination for the presidency in 2012 is a foregone
conclusion.
Hillary Clinton will not run in 2012 as an independent and therefore would be
relegated to eyeing 2016, when she will be 69 years old.
But if the Obama presidency continues to flounder, calls for Hillary Clinton
2012 will grow louder. And having rounded out her resume with 4 years as the
Secretary of State, the former First Lady of the United States and the former
United States Senator from New York will be a stronger candidate in 20
12 than
she was in
2008.
Secretary of State Hillar
y Clinto
n has name recognition, is more popular than the
President,
and has tens of thousands of loyal volunteers across the country, as well
as seasoned political operatives inside the beltway, who can be mobilized
relatively quickly. Hillar
y Clinto
n will be a formidable foe to both Barack Obama and the
eventual
Republican nominee.
However, if she were to become our next President and even with her husband
and former
President Bill Clint
on helping her, Hillar
y Clint
on will not be able to turn our
economy around for
this reason.
She will appoint liberal Justices to the U.S.
Supreme Court over the next 4 and
possible 8 years, and continue to promote her unbiblical social
platform in favor of
abortion and
homosexual marriage.
Unless her social platform shifts toward
God, our rating of her candidacy would remains a
D+.
