Daily Mail: Reports on a new book on President Obama that claims that ex President Bill Clinton wanted his wife; Hillary Clinton the US Secretary of State; to quite State and run against President Obama for the Democratic Nomination.
Lets Get Real:
It should be noted folks that the Clinton Camp has denied the story, so is it true, one could see why it could be true, this blog will never be convinced that Bill Clinton will ever forgive the Obama Campaign of 2008 of using the race card on him, think about this folks, before Obama the first black President was seen as Bill Clinton, so to have the racist tag thrown by the Obama Camp on him would have hurt the former President. In pure politics terms not great odds that Secretary Clinton would have won, as the articles notes Reagan failed against President Ford in 1976 by about hundred votes, while the last of the Kennedy brothers, Senator Edward Kennedy went down to defeat to Jimmy Carter. One can postulate that if the story is true then Bill Clinton was looking at the 1976 race, that went down to the Convention and Reagan only lost as stated above by hundred votes, what it did allow was for Reagan to win the 1980 election. If President Obama is defeated this year then Secretary Clinton will carry the baggage of the Obama Administration, then it would be hard to get the nomination in 2016. On the other hand the Secretary has made it clear that she is a no show show for a 2nd Obama term, thus if like most 2nd terms the Obama star falls it might allow the Secretary win the nomination in 2016. Also lets not forget the chance that Obama will dump Biden and place the Secretary on the ticket, that would be a smart move, if that happens his re-election chances go up, his only problem will be having Bill and Hillary Clinton breathing down his neck for four years.
