| | Governor Hillary?Rumor ==> I heard an unconfirmed report that Hillary Clinton is being offered a shot at the Govenorship of New York if she will drop out of the Presidential race now, so that the Democratic party can heal, gather around a candidate, and focus on winning in November.
I don't know if that's true or not. It could be. Sounds like just the kind of backroom deal politicians might come up with. If she took the deal, she could win the govenor's office in New York when the interum govenor's term expires. That sounds like a sweet deal to me. It would give her the experience she so desperately needs and would set her up perfectly for a run at the BIG JOB again in 2012. Then again, she might fall out of favor with the voters in New York and fail to win the governor's mansion, which would ruin her chance for the presidency forever.
Also, 2012 is not a guarantee. If McCain wins this year, he may not be able to handle 2 terms because of his age. She could take the presidency then; but if Obama wins this year, the Dems will have a major battle again in 4 years over whether to let Obama run for a second term, or kick him out for Hillary. Until Barack has a chance to fail, no one can answer that question.
What do you think. Should Hillary take such a deal if it is offered to her? Would she? |
