42. I hope you're wrong
I'm not ready to go so far as to accuse Clinton of being willing to sabotage Obama's chances in November to give herself another chance in 2012, because that's a pretty serious accusation to make without proof. But the thought has been nagging at me for a while.

I know Hillary threw John Kerry under the bus in 2006, and that probably had something to do with his decision to endorse Obama, along with the fact that he and Obama are pretty close in the Senate. But I can't help but think that if the Clintons had really done everything they could to help Kerry in 2004, wouldn't he be doing everything he could to help her now, or at least feel indebted enough to sit it out?

I know Bill Clinton campaigned for Kerry in 2004, but I can't help but think that he and Hillary didn't really want Kerry to win, because it would have meant at least 8 years until Hillary could run, unless she was going to challenge a sitting Democratic president. I'd like to think that the Clintons are team players who want a Democrat to win the White House no matter what, but unfortunately I'm jut not convinced that that is the case.
