DNC Hillary Clinton Paves Road To 2012 Presidency?  

Hillary Clinton for President in 2012. That is definitely a possibility. I am not a fan of hers either, yet, I believe that she will become the first president. First and foremost, however, she is going to have to make sure that her husband, former President Bill Clinton stays out of the way. There was talk of making him the Ambassador to the useless United Nations. If he was named to that position, terrorists would reign supreme as they probably will should Barack Obama be elected president this time around. I do not believe that Hillary Clinton did anything to show why Barack Obama should be president, let alone why a Democrat should be president. It appears that the platform is this: change only that it be somewhat different than the last eight years. You know, my troubles in the employment world is not President Bush's fault. The troubles that I have are my own. He did not cause me to lose my job, let alone did I, yet it happened. President Bush did not put his fingers on the levees in Louisiana and say, break and flood this land. President Bush did not fly those planes into the World Trade Centers in New York, or into the Pentagon or into the ground in Pennsylvania. What he did do though is run a faith based presidency where he believed that his actions were the right ones based on information that he thought was correct.

I believe that no matter what happens, Hillary Clinton in the long run will be president and that her speech tonight will propel her into that position in 2012. How do you think we got to know Barack Obama? He made what was termed an incredible speech at the 2004 DNC which was the only thing that he has done to propel him into the nomination for president.

Good job Senator Clinton, but not great. I cannot for a moment believe that after tonight's speech that she has any intention of fully unifying the Democratic Party. As one of the most non-prejudiced people in the world, this is not the time for an African-American president. Especially one who is not capable of being the Commander-in-Chief. I am so worried that we as a great country could get sold out very quickly.

I think she paved the road toward party unity. Democrats don't "give" the nomination to anyone, they have to win the votes to get it and while Republicans tend to nominate the next rich old white guy in line the Democrats don't do it that way. In 2006 Hillary will still be younger than McCain is now so perhaps that will be her time.

I don't think the issue of the nominee will be settled until roll call vote is taken to choose the current candidate. It's highly unlikely Hillary would win it, but it could happen. If Obama is chosen, I think definitely Hillary is planning to run in 2012, and she has so many supporters already, it is going to be a difficult task to unite the democratic party this election, but she should be a step ahead of everyone in the next.

Oh she's obviously covering the bases in case she can try again in four years. She did the right thing if she really wants to run again. She has to promote party unity.

She paves her road to 2012 alright. What ever happen in November election, Hillary Clinton will emerge as a strong voice within the Democrat party. By promoting unity within the party sho promote herself, that is what I call brilliant.

Hillary may have visions of running in 2012 by then we will have plenty of new people

Well she is playing nice so she can give another try in 4 or 8 years. She also has to play nice because she will have to run for re-election as a senator too. The last thing she wants right is to loose the DNCs support on that. So I would say she is leaving all her options open. NOthing wrong with that.

But personally, I hope not. But knowing her, she will try again.

I am from China,I watched the speech through the internet,her speech was so ebullient ...
