Clinton in 2016!
Let's get it started here, and now.

We know that Clinton won't be the VP nominee (whether it's a good idea or not, there's just too much bad blood).

So why don't we agree on this, instead. After Obama concludes the second term of his presidency, and restores America's goodness and greatness at home and abroad... why not follow that up with another 8 years of Hillary Clinton at the helm?

Let's give the Republicans a one-two punch of the best that the Democratic party has to offer.

Who's with me?

5. 8 years is an eternity in politics
Don't believe me? Well, there's the obvious questions of 1) Did you know who Barack Obama was in 2000 and 2) Did you know who Bill Clinton was in 1984?

And even beyond that..... doesn't it just "feel" like more than 8 years since we had an actual elected President in this country? :evilfrown:

I would consider voting for Hillary Clinton in 2016 IF she spent the next 8 years redeeming herself from what she's done the last 8. But even saying that, I'm not sure the mantle of leadership is going to pass back to the older generation after 8 years of a younger President.

Bill Clinton was in his 40's when he was elected. Bob Dole was way too old to be taken very seriously as a challenger in 1996, and in 2000, the Repukes rejected McCain, the better candidate even by their standards, for Chimpy. And while the Bush name and Bush money obviously played a part in that, the fact that Chimp was roughly the same age as Clinton had to have been a major factor. A 68 year old Hillary Clinton might, ironically enough, be a victim of a precedent set by her husband.

6. Why not, and don't forget to bring that
zimmer frame to the primaries and caucuses and then to the convention.
