I think she may be positioning herself to be the next Secretary General of the UN.

If elected, she didn't want to be tied to Obama's left-leaning politics in her own 2016 bid.

She prefers her own left-leaning politics.

“She’s not aging quite as gracefully...”

True, and old fat thighed women are perceived as cronelike and witchy by our culture, whereas maturing men such as Reagan can pull off the persona of attractive wise men who maintain an aura of power and ability. Maybe it is an unfair gender thing, yet it is reality and Hillary will not appeal to any male voters by 2016, young or old. (And probably not too many women either, other than perhaps the few aging die hard feminist types, themselves witchy and haglike.)

She’s benefited a lot from being in the “non-partsian” position of SOS. Being Osama’s veep or failed veep running mate hurts and doesn’t help her if she wants to run in 2016.

Quite frankly Obama winning isn’t good for her. Her best hope is Romney is in and not popular.

With her as Veep?

That would depend entilerly on subsequent events...

As I've been saying for many years, I'm worried about VICE President Clinton.
Think of it:

• Two years and one day into her term the first slotter gets arkincided
• Under Article XXII, she can still run for two full terms as the incumbent
• The Glorious Hillary!™ Decade begins
• Hillary uses the Patriot Act to it's fullest extent, and beyond
• At the end of the Glorious Hillary!™ Decade there is a National Emergency "temporarily" delaying the elections
• Under the pressure of the National Emergency, the 1st, 2nd and 22nd amendments are repealed
• By the time the National Emergency is over all the 'improved' source code for the touch screen electronic balloting will be in place......

Just as an aside, with the Clinton's well known love of 'ethnics', Obama is very expendable, isn't he?

My prediction is:

1. She will take time off to rest and lose weight.

2. She will then become the DNC chair...giving her a stage and TV time until...

3. She announces she's running for POTUS at the appropriate time..

Yep she has aged quite a lot in the past twenty years.

Assuming he’ll win is one thing but win and then die?

If he wins it will be because Romney blows it and he will be unpopular in 2016, she would do well to be as un-associated from him as she can be, being his veep would be the worst place for her.

And being a failed veep nominee could be almost as bad especially if the reintoduction of her own scandals becomes a factor in the election. I believe that is the primary reason Osama didn’t make her his VP to begin with, he didn’t need her baggage on top of his own.

It's a clinton thang.

She can't assume he'll win, but she can be certain he will die on cue.

Was that clear enough, or do you need me to draw you a picture?
