More Hillary-will-replace-Biden talk...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/dec/13/hillary-clinton-strength-president

The rumour was compelling, even by the high-octane standards of Washington DC. Vice-president Joe Biden would step down in two years' time, allowing Hillary Clinton to join the Democrats' presidential ticket in 2012. Then, after serving with Barack Obama through his second term, Clinton would be all set to win the White House in 2016.

The gossip spread like wildfire through the ****tail parties of Washington, into the blogosphere and then into the mainstream press, where New York magazine, National Public Radio and the cable news channels all picked up on it. The dream of Clinton becoming America's first woman president was suddenly alive again.

So what of the rumour that she may replace Biden in 2012 and run in 2016? Away from the chattering television pundits, few of the experts gave the story much credence, least of all those who have studied Clinton closely. "It's not impossible. But it would be very hard to see that happening," said Gerber. But she raised another intriguing possibility.

Clinton is a highly trained and accomplished lawyer. After her stint at state, Obama could one day appoint her to the supreme court. Then her ability to wield power would go on for as long as she lived. "That could definitely happen one day," Gerber said.

One way or another, and defying all predictions, Clinton's star is likely to be in the ascendant for years to come.

She's not qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice so that won't happen anytime soon.  She also doesn't want to be VP and I doubt that will happen.  Why would she want to join this loser's ticket since its doubtful that he will be elected.  The Media likes to use her and Palin for ratings.  Move on folks nothing to see here is my attitude.  She will run for President in either 2012 or 2016

I can't imagine that she would want the VP slot. If things don't turn around, the next president will be a Republican. I'm afraid the Obama has poisoned the water for the Dems for now. Hopefully, Hill won't be weakened by Obama if she seriously considers a run in 2012 or 2016.

Here's where it gets good.  The Dems have ONE shot at keeping the White House and that is Hillary because Hillary tried to tell the Country about the fraud but no one would listen.  Usually that means the Country will say "Hillary was right."  I have to say thanks to her being SOS the Right wingers can finally see that Hillary is no Dove but a Hawk strong on National Defense which will help her a lot in the G.E.  I think the Dems will be to afraid not to chose her as their candidate.

I think you're right, HMG. I expect in another six months or so, the veep memes will be replaced with talk about how Hillary should challenge Obama in 2012. Hillary herself will probably downplay such talk-- at first. But the more support she gets, the more nervous 0 will be. And it will snowball from there.

That's one scenario, anyhow.
