Wife and I Are Commiting Ourselves to Hillary

...If and when she decides to run for POTUS in 2016. We don't think that Biden will run in the end.

Our plan is to dive in deep at the state level and swim, after yesterday I think that she is best person to take over after Obama. We had a chance to hear her speak after the DNC in 2008 in a very intimate setting and were impressed, she also was the first First Lady I had seen.

Her defense of yesterday in front of Congress was brilliant.

My wife seems to think the Julio Castro would be good for the ticket.

So in closing we are reading what we can on her political ideals and after the 2014 elections are over will be offering ourselves to state Democratic party as instruments.

is how does anyone know she is interested in running? Is there some kind of fund raising going on? Is it just a kismet mental vibe?

If she is interested in the job, I would support her. All the way.

But many think Bill's efforts to help Obama win, and he definitely had an impact, were in exchange for agreeing to help Hillary in 2016. Obama's team has an excellent ground game and it would be extremely beneficial if Hillary could just come in as the next candidate.

I am not impressed with how willing she is to go to war. I would like a President that is more hesitant in that department.

I assume she will now embrace gay marriage, but I wonder if she will consider it a state issue or a federal issue.

If Hillary decides that she wants to run, she has earned the love, respect and admiration of out country, she would clinch the nomination, if she wants it.

That said, I am still not quite sure. The 2008 campaign was hell on her, to be put through that again.... Ugh....

As for Julian Castro, I think it's going to be too soon for him. However, his brother Joaquin is a different story. Come 2016, Joaquin will have served 2 terms in Congress...

But for me, there is another name that I VERY MUCH want on the lower portion of that ticket with Hillary and I think the Democratic Party is already looking at him being that he just left the Obama Cabinet...
