If the rumors are true, this would be President Obamas first intelligent decision.

Chelsea would help bring in the younger voters

She could step off the world stage and into the vice presidential nomination. It's a way, some political soothsayers say, to rekindle that old "black" magic.

"That's a racial slur!"

Who isn't leading against all republican candidates?

Why this fetish for trying to get Hillary on the ticket?  This meme pops up every 3 months like clockwork, but I still can't figure out why it seems a desirable line of inquiry for you.  Other than you maybe like the idea of the two most hated Democrats in modern America heading the 2012 campaign.  Thoughts?

I'm a fan of the sassy low neckline and the pearls to get my attention.  She's looking away but she's drawing my eyes in.

She actually looks more like a SCOTUS justice in that get up.  Or perhaps more like a headliner at Barnum & Bailey with that ruffled neck.

I have to admit, I still don't think it's going to happen, but FWIW, Robert Reich would like to see an Obama/Clinton ticket in 2012.

My Political Prediction for 2012: It's Obama-Clinton
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2011
My political prediction for 2012 (based on absolutely no inside information): Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden swap places. Biden becomes Secretary of State — a position he's apparently coveted for years. And Hillary Clinton, Vice President.

So the Democratic ticket for 2012 is Obama-Clinton.

Why do I say this? Because Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a Democratic base that's been disillusioned with his cave-ins to regressive Republicans. Hillary Clinton on the ticket can do that.

Moreover, the economy won't be in superb shape in the months leading up to Election Day. Indeed, if the European debt crisis grows worse and if China's economy continues to slow, there's a better than even chance we'll be back in a recession. Clinton would help deflect attention from the bad economy and put it on foreign policy, where she and Obama have shined.

The deal would also make Clinton the obvious Democratic presidential candidate in 2016 — offering the Democrats a shot at twelve (or more) years in the White House, something the Republicans had with Ronald Reagan and the first George Bush but which the Democrats haven't had since FDR. Twelve years gives the party in power a chance to reshape the Supreme Court as well as put an indelible stamp on America.

According to the latest Gallup poll, the duo are this year's most admired man and woman This marks the fourth consecutive win for  Obama while Clinton has been the most admired woman in each of the last 10 years. She'a topped the list 16 times since 1993, exceeding the record held by former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who topped the list 13 times.

Obama-Clinton in 2012. It's a natural.

Funny, that's one of the GOP New Years greeting cards.



. . .and it looks like the occupy groups has started their own petition. Probably just a plot by the VRWC though.

One thing is certain, if Hillary were to replace the president, there would be no Republican candidate capable of standing against her.

Could you picture Biden as SOS?  It would be like Leslie Nielsen in the Naked Gun series.
