Probably so, but, I cannot help but wonder just who will be voting for him.
Sheesh. It already slipped out of her mouth last week on national TV.
*****You need to get back to your drinking.****
LOL!
I don’t imbibe adult beverages - but that’s some good advice I’ll take;)
A side benefit - BO as POTUS will be good for the liquor industry!
****There is no way, in a 3-way race, that any of them gets 270 electoral college votes.*****
So?????????????? See Nancy Pelosi’s gig.

Today, a candidate must receive 270 of the 538 votes to win the election. In cases where no candidate wins a majority of electoral votes, the decision is thrown to the House of Representatives by virtue of the 12th Amendment. The House then selects the president by majority vote with each state delegation receiving one vote to cast for the three candidates who received the most electoral votes.
Here are the two elections that were decided by the House of Representatives:
1801: Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, both Democrat-Republicans, received the same number of electoral votes, despite the fact that Burr was running as a vice presidential candidate, not for the presidency. Following 36 successive votes in the House, Jefferson was finally elected president.
1825: As mentioned above, Andrew Jackson received a majority of the popular vote over John Quincy Adams, but neither man received a 131-vote majority of electoral votes needed at the time to claim the presidency. Adams won the House vote on the first ballot.
Oh, Dear God.....please. NO! Just the thought of it makes me cringe.

Cringing and thinking = Crinkling;)
Hilary believes that she is destined to make history!
What could be more historical than to create a viable Third Party with her as the titular head and first female President? She would out-Billy Bubba and all those hateful Dems who tried to destroy her ambitions. Grass-roots new Congressional candidates - with financial and media support. If elected the media will fold over for her again -as they did in her NY Senate carpet baggery.
Just ponderin’ - with HRC you have to go waaaaaaaaaay out in left field.
With the Clintons, yes, you do. I’d be willing to bet that she’d come in at LEAST second in a three-way race as an independent. A LOT of women out there. And many still are in love with Bill, too.
Of course being insane - I can get inside HRC’s mind.
I cannot believe she will loosen her jaws on the lifetime dream...this opportunity may never come again.
She’s 60 and will have no power in the Senate for years. Looks like Teddy may be good to go for another decade - like Strom Thurmond or the ol’ Byrd.
Jumping ship on the Dems may even earn her a few votes from anti-McCain republicans. They would rather see HRC’s administration fail than see McCain in office. The rationale is the country will thereafter be ready for a new, true GOP conservative candidate ala Reagan.
Man...where is the next Ronald Reagan? I wish he would show himself. The current choices suck. I may just vote for Ron Paul in November.
