PHILADELPHIA - Hillary Rodham Clinton is on her way to becoming the biggest loser of this election.
If he wins tomorrow, Barack Obama will certainly be his party's standard-bearer in 2012 - icing Clinton out of the White House for at least eight years.
And she'll be nearly 70 in 2016 - a young sprout compared to John McCain but probably too old to carry the flag for the newly recast party of youth and hope.
Until then, Clinton will be exiled to the Senate to serve out her second term, more like a sentence than a term for the former first lady, who will be a middle player in an increasingly fat Democratic majority.

I’m not sure that even the dims will want him in office after he has been there a month. It may be way too early to count out the Beast.
Never heard that one before! Good line.
This is something that I will always wonder about. What if Hillary had been nominated?
The Clintons are moral-less cheats but they atleast are PROUD to be Americans.
I am astounded that a guy who hates America has a 48% chance of becoming President.
Who knew after the bitter 90s that I would now start thinking of Bill Clinton as “moderate” Democrat.
I used to utterly despise him in the 90s. Now he positively looks like Ronald Reagan compared to the Marxist running for the Presidency.
The biggest loser may be Hillary Clinton (as the author says).
The biggest winner definitely is Bill Clinton as millions of Republicans are now saying.. “Bill.. compared to Obama... you are fantastic... come back! Just keep away from the interns.. please”
so long as the beast draws breath she is dangerous
I propose another idea. If McCain wins tomorrow, the media will have totally lost all credibility and might even go broke. We will then have a window of opportunity to correct the MSM image of conservatives as evil. If we are successful, we may even keep some PUMA's on our side even in an event of a Hillary run in 2012.
BHO is a SOCIALIST — that is not hyperbole, it is fact.
Obama is a possible Chavez or Castro — Hillary? like a center-left European bureaucrat...
Hillary has never called for the creation of a Domestic Political Police force — BHO can imagine life without one...
Don't get me wrong — hrc sucks and would screw up our economy etc... but she is Barry Goldwater compared to BHO.
That One once belonged to the New Party.
BS, newbie!
Bingo, BullMoose!
I’m just saying I think H seeded this at the start and it caught on big time.
Maybe, but Hillary accused Obama of being too pro-Reagan , too pro-Republican.
Hillary was also involved with Saul Alinsky during the 1970s, and also defended the Black Panthers.
If you look at her primary campaign, she always attacked Obama from the left, never from the right.
Hail, hail, the gang’s all here!
Cedric,
While my comment is certainly tongue in cheek (hence the crack about the interns) the fact is that every conservative is in shock that a America Hating Marxist like Obama has been nominated by the Democratic party.
Used to be we fought the Democrats on ideas like Taxes and Social Policy. Now we are fighting a potential Marxist inspired takeover.
So, yes, I stand by my assertion. The Presidency of Bill Clinton will be a dream presidency compared to the permanent damage a Chavista like Obama can and WILL do.
Just my thoughts!

If anti-christ wins tomorrow, I suspect that conditions brought about by 4 years of his leadership would help Hillary to have a fair shot at gaining her party's nomination in 2012.
I’m with you.
Only I think Wednesday is going to be a nightmare.
We are either going to see the Philadelphia-style “celebration” riots or the LA style “outrage” riots.
I worry for my daughter in college.
Well.. Big Horn.. I hope you are wrong. I currently think Sarah and Cindy’s husband will get 52% of PV and win the EV.
As I said in another thread, either I am insane for thinking that McCain will win or the polls are completely wrong.
No way Obama can win in 2012.
I am old enough to remember the carnage Carter did during his first term. So much, that Reagan won handily over a SITTING president, which is very difficult to do.
Obama and his cohorts in Congress will go down in flames so badly after they muck up this country and try to destroy our Consitution that there is no way he can survive a 2012 run.
