1. Hmmm, I would be okay with her running in 2016 but she will be in her late 60's by then.
I wonder how long she will stay on as SOS.

9. We won't know. It is too early. When did Obama emerge?
2007ish? 2012 is six years away. After 2012 is when we will have a clearer idea.

12. Why do they keep asking her this question?
What else is she supposed to say? Who knows what she will feel like doing by 2016? Heck, most people don't even know what they'll have for dinner on any given night.

:eyes:

14. It's the republicans
trying some mischief. They want to put it out there that Obama is going to be challenged for the nomination. Ignore them.

15. I doubt that this will stop the media (except if they move to Dean or Feingold as a new talking
point).
