Poor Hillary!

[MannyGoldstein]

The Ready for Hillary! crowd seems to have become the Duck and Cover! crowd over the past few weeks. They must be flabbergasted by the groundswell of coherent thought that's been sweeping our Party of late.

"What to do!"

I can't wait to see very-Liberal-but-steely-realist Hillary get trotted out as soon as things quiet down a bit.

But, no matter. The Third Way can keep their ill-gotten cash, but they'll be getting less of it in the future; I suspect that they're well on their way to a permanent exile from the White House and Congress.

Change!

Thank you, Occupy, for getting the ball rolling. We're accreting good people and good will, and will soon be crushing all in our path. I hope...

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

1. Poor + Hillary = Oxymoron

[MannyGoldstein]

3. Well...

[Scuba]

2. Good bye third way ... don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

[blue14u]

4. The Duck and Cover Crowd...

Oh, but the few that come out are still fighting to the death!

Ha. Ignore and Block have become my friend as of yesterday..

is the sinking ship they are on!!!


is my name from now on. We won't take it anymore!

[Maven]

5. Just beware the supposedly more liberal alternative to Hillary who is anything but.

In other words, don't repeat history.

[MannyGoldstein]

6. Hopefully we'll be able to really vet someone this time

Last time we had a pack of three in front pretty early - two of them were clearly not helpful for the 99%, one was an unknown quantity who preached a good game.

And here we are.

[joeybee12]

22. You're more of an optimist than I am...

I'm sure whoever the powers that be decide we must support will be a liberal in word, but not deed.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

21. Couldn't Bernie simply run as a Dem to avoid history from repeating?

That is, of course, if Elizabeth doesn't run.

[bvar22]

34. No more blank slates without track records promising Hope & Change.

That shit is DONE!

7. Poor Manny~

Beautiful Dreamer,

Warren is not running for President. She is going to blast the hell out of Wall Street. That is why we sent her to the Senate. She will do amazing things there. I for one have not been a Hillary supporter. I backed this President from day one. Still do Manny and will continue to do so.

When 2016 comes around, I will make my decisions. However, I will indeed vote for the Democrat of choice.

[davidpdx]

9. I feel the same way

I began supporting Obama in April of 2007 which was quite early. This time I am ready to sit out longer before deciding on a candidate if I don't see what I like. I hope we have some good choices in the primary.

[sabrina 1]

10. There are 300 million people in this country. NO ONE is appointed to lead this country, ALL have the

right to run for the office of POTUS.

And the idea that only a couple of US Citizens have the RIGHT to that position, is being strongly rejected, finally, and thankfully.

We the people have not been allowed to choose who we want in that position for a long time now. We the people have finally decided that we will no longer have any one person foisted on us without our consent.

I am hoping for a complete unknown person who has NO CORPORATE FUNDING, because we all know by now what that means, will emerge and we will finally have a CHOICE, rather than being pushed into just one or two 'choices' chosen by Corporate America.

They've finally come to the point where their corporate funding has become poison for any candidate.

I eg, will looking at who is fuding the candidates and will cross off the list, ANY CANDIDATE who has amassed a huge 'war chest' mostly funded by Corporations.

Thank YOU Occupy Wall St. for awakening the voting public to just what we should be looking out for.

Run Bernie! Run!

[Egalitarian Thug]

15. No one with no corporate funding (in very large piles) will ever be allowed on the ticket.

We've already been down that road many times before.

[MannyGoldstein]

11. The Transparency President said that he wouldn't run in 2008

That was different, I suppose.

[sheshe2]

14. I ask one question, Manny.

Why the rush to get her out of one of the most influential positions available? She can do more as a in her position as Senator. You believe that she can move the world as a sitting President???? Really.

As I have said she can do a hell of a lot more damage to big business and Wall Street in her position as Senator. You seemvto disagree with that point. Why is that?

Romper Room: Bend And Stretch, Reach For The Sky. Stand on tippy toe my oh my~

[MannyGoldstein]

16. You contend that a Senator has more power than a President?

Seriously?

[sheshe2]

17. No. I contend that she can do more damage to the banksters as a Senator.

That is why they are so afraid of her.

[MannyGoldstein]

18. What can she do as Senator that she can't do as President?

The President is the Party Leader, and has the world's bulliest pulpit.

[sheshe2]

19. As a Senator, Warren can make this her main Focus.

Happy Holidays, Manny~

[JoePhilly]

26. Which when used, is called nothign more than "Pretty Speech".

[davidpdx]

8. but..but..but

There is no one else to run. We have to get behind Hillary or we are not good Democrats.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

12. The issues are solidly lined up

Bankster crooks (still at it), Citizens United, wealth inequality, bought politicians, lazy (often lying) media, union busting, manufactured crises (S.S. going broke) charter schools, foreclosures, unemployment (un)fair wages... it should be a shoo-in for the Democrats in 2016.

We desperately need a champion - I've said this before. I am not enthusiastic about Hillary and was hoping Elizabeth Warren might be that champion of the middle class. But if it's not to be her, we must retain the Senate and flush the House of as many Teahadists as possible next year. That would certainly pave the way for a Democratic victory in 2016.

[Reformed Bully]

13. 2016 Obama - Biden

Michelle & Jill

[Capt. Obvious]

20. They're ready

[DonCoquixote]

33. I mremember these folks

Back when they were Hillary is 44. They are the fine folks that kept calling Michelle a cocktail watiress, and kept calling Obama a "boy."

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

23. I've noticed!

That talking thing is getting her in trouble. Before, I was only wondering what she was going to build her platform on.

[Beacool]

24. Is getting her in trouble?

Please, as if any of you bloviating three years before there's anyone running for anything would vote for her anyway.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

29. pot says to kettle

lol

That left a mark!

Hey, some of us don't think a third Clinton administration is in the best interest of the country.

[Beacool]

32. No, it just means that it doesn't matter what people say in a blog.

As long as the vast majority of Democrats support her.

[Whisp]

31. Her platform is apparently built on air miles.

and those funny cartoony text message thing someone else did.

other than that, I still have no answers from people that say Hillitary is the greatest SoS ever.
nothing.
other than she logged in the most miles and she was tired all the time for that 3am phone call.

can you believe it?

I can.

[JoePhilly]

25. Looks like another slow day at the manufactured outrage factory.

[MineralMan]

27. No news, Manny?

Most folks are not really that into the 2016 election yet. A lot of us aren't really worried about that. We're looking at 2014. Hillary's a likely candidate for 2016, but there's ample time to let that election develop. In the meantime, 2014 is really just around the corner, and potential candidates are getting vetted like crazy for that one. Who has time to think about 2016 right now?

Will Hillary run? I don't know. She hasn't said. I don't pay a lot of attention to the Presidential race in the first place, since I really won't play any role in choosing the candidate who is on the ballot. I'll let you worry about that race, but I suspect that you don't have much to do with who will be on the ballot in 2016, either.

Good luck to you in your quest. Whoever it is that you'll support will be interesting, I'm sure. In 2015, I'll start paying attention to that a little, but mostly I'll be working on legislative politics, as always. There, I can actually be of influence.

Have fun! I'll be voting for whomever emerges from the Democratic Convention in 2016.

[BeyondGeography]

28. You'll be voting for her when the time comes

[LanternWaste]

30. I love reading prophecies...

I love reading prophecies...

Granted, they're usually much more satisfying to reading while sitting on the toilet-- more balanced that way-- but still, a nicely satisfying and provocatively prophetic tarot-reading all the way around!!!!
