After one and a half years into the most incompetent and corrupt Presidency in modern history, it is time to ponder the plans of our current Secretary of State. Ms. Clinton’s desire to be President is well known, and her appetite for power has clearly exceeded all other priorities in her life– including her self-respect and marriage. She is probably pleased, knowing the press that demonized her finally realize “their” candidate is completely incapable of the job to which they propelled him. The oil spill in the Gulf is like Katrina and 9/11 happening in slow motion and Obama is still absolutely clueless of how to respond after 2 months. He sent lawyers because that is the only response that a community organizer understands, aside from a vocal protest. And since the protest would have to be on water, only “the one” could attend– being the only one who can walk on said protest area. But I digress. Ms. Clinton still wants and plans on being the President. Right now she and her advisers are weighing making a run in 2012 or waiting until 2016 and running against the incumbent Republican. I say incumbent because Obama has little chance for re-election in 2012. His popularity falls on a monthly basis and his ability to give speeches about real world events versus pie-in-the-sky virtues is very limited, as his recent speech from the Oval Office proved. Hillary knows if she runs against Obama she will alienate the Black vote but gain the Jewish vote back. The new Hispanic voters will help offset the loss of black votes. And lets be honest, the Black voters won’t go to the Republicans. So her math equation is fairly clear:
Does Democrat-Black vote+Jewish vote+Hispanic vote= Victory?
Before Obama’s election most people felt Ms. Clinton was more experienced and competent. Now there is no doubt. Unfortunately for her, to go against Obama is to be “racist”– at least where the Black community is concerned and the Democrats can’t win without the black vote. Whites and Asians tend to vote for the Republicans. Hispanics vote 2-1 for democrats but the policy of the Democrats to help Hispanics against the best interests of Americans will help their voter turn out in the Hispanic community.
So the question remains will Ms. Clinton run in 2012 or will she wait for 2016? When can she leave the position of Secretary of State and begin her campaign in earnest? Will the stench of the Obama administration leave any residue on her or will she have an open disagreement to create a clean break with the current administration in the eyes of the American public? Perhaps over Israel? The further she can distance herself from this administration and its myriad of offenses the better for her. But how can she leave the administration without losing widespread Democrat support?
And is America ready for the “novelty” of its first Woman President after seeing/feeling the effects of our first Black President?
The 2012 Presidential Election is fast approaching
The GOP race is now a field of 4 with only Romney, Gingrich, Paul, & Santorum still standing. Who will be the next candidate to exit the race & who will emerge as the eminent GOP nominee?

I think all politico’s have pondered the very issue you address. I think you have predicted the “isms” with good insight.
The factor that cannot be calculated of course is that 20% of America that kinda follows the news and kinda thinks things through, and usually votes.
My great fear of course, as I have stated many times, is lacking Constitution Leader, a Reagan, to say damn the MSM, damn the Socialist Hope schemers, damn the special interest groups, we are Americans, without hyphens and we need to re-establish the Constitutional Principles that made this once great county a shining light of freedom, may not be here, and the GOP selects a kinda Reagan, who will kinda influences the public. Too little too late.
Secondly, with the GOP back in control of the House and maybe Senate in 2010, lacking a true Constitutional SPINE, and again making love to the MSM, the Obama Admin and minority dems will be able to shift the coming economic and social disasters to the GOP controlled Congress.
For instance, “The real reason Obama-nomics is a disaster, are the GOP Obstructionist”, or “Look what has happened since the GOP took back Congress in 2010! Vote for Hope and Change, Vote Democrat 2012″.
As always, even a slight majority of the 20% MUST be won, by whoever would win. Our future hindges on the 20% of the population with their heads up their hinies and sitting on sharp tipped fences.
