As I have been predicting on this forum for months the Queen of Mean has finally made an overt move to run .

In today's WJS (11/21/11) Patrick Gaddell and Doug Schoen had an article published proclaiming that like Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson before him Obama must take the high road and tell the American public that he will not run. According to the authors Obama cannot win by running a constructive campaign and if he does win he will not be able to govern. They cite numerous poll numbers which make it clear that Obama is a lame duck and that in every pool a generic republican beats him. Conversely Hillary 's poll numbers are quite high

They go on to say that they have not spoken with Hillary R Clinton (wink wink) but that they are certain she could easily win in 2012 because she has the experience and could bring the economy back as did her husband by working in a colloborative effort along side Republicans citing one example after another. Schoen served as a pollster for Bill Clinton....that's a surprise

In my view Hillary played the political game well. She played good little Democrat and did not openly battle with Obama. She was smart enough to demand the Secretary of State job to keep her in the hunt and to improve on her resume'. I had always believed that Obama signed his political death warrant by allowing Hillary visibility.

It will be very interesting to see how this plays out. We can of course expect to see Hillary role play well the surprise and humility and i am grateful but I can't run....did I hear you say please? Oh Hillary please you said.
