I ask this because there are a lot of Hillary supporters out there that still believe she would have been better than PBO. She was torn apart in the 2008 primaries by PBO. It was shameful and many on the Left still harbor resentment. So it makes me think...

If we as a country have another 4 years like the last 4 with PBO as Pres, it is HIGHLY unlikely Hillary will have a chance of running and winning in 2016. It's just the nature of the Political swing.

Hillary is almost 65 now. In 2016 she will be 69. But in 2020 she will be in her 70's. 

A couple scenarios:

1. PBO wins 2012 - It is unlikely Hillary would stand a chance. The country will most likely swing Republican (This is just the way it works) then Hillary My have a chance to run in 2020 with a chance to win EXCEPT she will be well into her 70's

2. Mitt wins 2012 - Hillary could begin her campaigning on Jan 1st 2013. In 2016 she will be 69. Assuming Mitt doesn't do well as a Pres, Hillary would stand a real chance to be Pres.

If Mitt and PBO are so similar and if you think Hillary would be a good Pres, doesn't it stand to reason that, in the big picture, if you like Hillary as Pres, that it would be good for Romney to win in 2012?

Well... back whenever I knew what she was and where she stood.  I didn't like it, but I knew.

Obama was an unknown.... that was risky... now I see that it was too risky.

Looking at where our country is today, I would thank God for the opportunity to go back and have another Clinton (Because let's face it, The Clintons are a team) Administration in the White House. Bush and PBO have done quite a number on our Country.

  I think she's in too DEEP with Obama's politics..I don't think she would turn back even to her "normal" left-minded  self even if she had a chance to..with or without Bill.  That boat sailed a "long" time ago.. (imo)

I think she's too old now for it even to be an issue.  (although I do have an image.. shiver... branded in my brain from a video of her partying recently.  I guess she can still shake a leg...)

I don't believe this is a reality, hence my detailed explanation in the OP.

I was Hillary supporter. I think she is doing an amazing job as sec of state. I believe she has spoken about not having any further political ambitions.
