Actually I think it will be the opposite. She’ll decline to run, all the while making loads of public appearances, “looking good” (for her), etc. The DNC will have a plan... They’ll run someone who cannot win, who will do the heavy campaigning. Hillary cannot campaign because (1) she’s getting old and (2) she really cannot travel so much with her blood clots history. Then at the last minute before the convention, some terrible fate will befall the seemingly designated candidate, and Hillary will rush in at the convention, grabbing the nomination, without having done any campaigning. Just my speculation.....

Cancles will be 69 in 2016 and likely thinking retirement by then. Plus there all that Red Chinese kickback money from the Loral Space deal...

We're all assuming there will be a presidential election in 2016. However, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Obama declares himself president for life and the elections are canceled. The Constitution means nothing to the Kenyan and his handlers and I don't see congress or the courts standing in his way.

It’s an interesting scenario but it’s too novelesque for it to have any credibility. Until OBama came along you really needed an extensive resume to have any political traction.
Yes, in this day and age being New York Senator for 4 years and Secetary of State for another 4 years is a resume that people will respect but I don’t believe she’s going to get off that easy. You’ve got to remember, Obama as President- elect had to do some heavy lifting to retire the millions of dollars in debt Hillary had in her losing efffort to Obama. Not to say, she won’t be the nominee but your take is intriguing nevertheless.
