Brit Hume: Bill Clinton Considering Running For Governor of New York!

Fox News Special Report W/Brit Hume ^

[Recovering_Democrat]

From the political Grapevine, halfway through tonight's Special Report with Brit Hume: Bill Clinton is considering to run for Governor of New York! According to Democrat Party "insiders", TheBentOne may run next election cycle.

Some Spitzer guy and Chuckles Schumer are apparently pissed off...they're the current frontrunners.

Good luck, New York.

OH NO!

fyi..

[Political Junkie Too]

This fits into what I posted yesterday:

I think that a Hillary! run in 2008 will hinge on the 2006 NY gubernatorial race. Is Pataki eligible to run again? Who are likely candidates?

If Hillary! runs for Senate in 2006, she risks giving up the seat in 2008. Does New York have laws regarding holding a Senate seat and running for another office simultaneously like Lieberman did in 2000? If Hillary! wins in 2006 and has to give up her seat in 2008, a Republican governor will appoint a Republican to take her place, thereby shifting another Democrat seat to Republican in the Senate.

If Hillary! decides not to run for Senate in 2006, a Democrat may likely retain her seat, but then she runs for president while being out of federal office for two years.

Could a Bill Clinton mayoral stint be "insurance" against losing a Democrat Senate seat in 2006 or 2008?

What a desperate loser.

[Pubbie]

Let them have Clintoon, As long he and his "wife" never get into the White House again I couldn't care less.

30 years from now when we are old and gray......Bubba will still be out there..

He is never going away....never.....:-(

[ZGuy]

Californians are breathing a sigh of relief. He'd win in California if he ran in this fall's recall election.

[MeekOneGOP]

They will never go away. Bill stealing the 'thunder' from the release of Hill's book?


Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

[Paul Atreides]

I am beginning to think that he is the Fifth Horseman of The Apocalypse.

[Defiant]

Well, since he couldn't win in Arkansas, he would have to run in New York. He's the south's revenge for carpetbagging.

[Clara Lou]

All I can say is this: If NY elects him, NY deserves him. I simply cannot believe that any state would first Hillary itself, and then Bill itself. Masochistic.

[Mo1]

He is never going away....never.....:-(

YEP ...

[South40]

If he runs...New Yorkers will probably elect him.

Ethics, morality and character don't even rate as the election of the hildabeast serves to suggest.

I think it sucks as I am for anything that will get chuckie schumer out of the senate.

[mewzilla]

Ah, but you left out the best part of the report :) That when FOX called Toon's office to get a comment on the report, staffers could be heard bickering in the backround about what to say. They finally told FOX they'd call back, but hadn't as of Hume's report.

[The Turbanator]

Oh No! Mr. Bill!

I despise this man.
What is that strange sucking sound? Oh never mind.

[Paul Atreides]

If NY loves him that much, they are welcome to him. I just feel sorry for the New Yorkers who don't want him.

nice theory, but it has one problem.

it requires that the clintons care about something other than themselves and their power. we have never seen any evidence of this.

Haven't New Yorkers suffered enough?

[Dr. Frank fan]

He will win. A large portion of the electorate nowadays sees politics as basically another form of entertainment. Voters will not be able to resist the lure of having Clinton to gawk at and talk about and root for, as their governor.

Thank God for Presidential term limits.
