From the beginning the news always said due to Bush this was the democrats election to win. Hilary Clinton ran in the primary and lost to Obama. We can all agree not very graciously. But she did work to help him get elected by trying to stop the PUMA movement. She did well. I am sure she is happy their is a democrat in office and that the democrats are in control in congress and the house. But deep down how do you think she feels about it being him and not her to get this election?
Will she get another chance at it? If Obama gets 8 years, then VP traditionally gets the spot on the ticket if he wants it. So she may have to wait for Obama and Biden to get done before she gets another shot.

Without Hillary's support Barack would not have won more that Illinois. If Hillary had ran as an independent or just refused to support Barack, her supporter would not have voted for Barack. Hillary must have been promised something since she gave Barack her support without the Vice Presidency. Maybe she want to be a Supreme Court Justice, or she wants Barack's support for her campaign against Senate Majority leader Harry Reid so she can become Senate Majority leader. Who know but one thing I can count on she got promised something and she will be demanding payment on full. Think about it a President can only be in power for a maximal of eight years, but a Supreme Court Justice can serve a life time. The Majority leader controls the spending of over 3 trillion dollars. So yes the Presidency is the prime job for a politician but for someone that is seeking power there are over jobs pretty good.

Guess we will have to wait and see what she gets. THen we will know what Obama had to promise her to get her support. Whatever it was you know she going to make sure she gets it.
But you know somewhere inside her is screaming "That should have been me".

But Biden will be given first choice. The VP always is. So if he decides to run after Obama, HIlary will have to wait til after that.

He treated her poorly. When she goes home at night, she is angry. She had more experience in the white house and as a senator than he did. I think she is a better person than he is. If she plans to run again, she will spend the next four years doing her best. Deep down inside, I would say she resents Obama. He could have taken her as his running mate. But instead, he chose Biden who said Obama was not ready to be president.
