The only way Hillary will run in 2012 is if Obama decides not to run, just like Johnson decided not to run in 1968. What would make Obama decide not to run? Oh, perhaps a combination of 12% unemployment, high interest rates, and high inflation, not to mention a gigantic budget deficit. The Democratic Party, after having such “stunning successes” with other poor candidates like Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, and Michael Dukakis, has learned its lesson and would probably not support Obama if things were that bad. Remember, the only thing that matters to liberals is obtaining and maintaining political power. So if liberals view Obama as a threat to their liberal or, worse, progressive agenda, they will certainly throw Obama under the bus. Well, at least Obama will not be alone under that bus, with people like Bill Ayers, Reverand Wright, and Van Jones keeping him company, to name just a few.
