New Hampshire voters should draft Hillary

[boston bean]

We argued in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed piece that President Barack Obama should stand down and let Secretary of State Hillary Clinton run as the Democratic presidential nominee in 2012.

We are now calling on Democratic voters nationally — particularly in New Hampshire — to organize a write-in campaign for Clinton. This is something that New Hampshire voters have a long history of doing.

We advocate this Draft Hillary movement not because of the desire to make political mischief — but to put the country on the right course.

It’s clear that Obama has been unable to build consensus and, with the polarizing campaign he is now running, will be unable to govern effectively even if reelected. Only Clinton can commit the Democratic Party — and, indeed, the nation — to a unification and healing process. This could allow Washington, in a bipartisan manner, to finally address the economic and governmental crises that now grip America.

1. Oh boy. This is going to be a sight to behold.

[eridani]

2. Given the results of Obama's attempts at "bipartisanship"--

--this is totally batshit crazy.

[Autumn]

3. Hillary will not run

she has no desire to. After her term of SOS is up she will do the things she want's to do. She has served enough.

4. Man, it must suck that the Rethugs have no chance of winning the White House

So they send these two hacks to try and fuck it up and then we get President Ron Paul.

5. So Politico and the Wall Street Journal want Democratic voters to jump

To Hillary Clinton? Sounds like Obama is too sure a bet for their comfort!

Neither of those institutions are ones I would take voting advice from.

[Politicalboi]

6. Yes because the Repukes will

Bow down to Hillary. What nuts. I could see her as VP but not President this time.

[Muskypundit]

7. That and a hillary presidency would be VERY much like an Obama one

Except maybe even more to the right. I like her as sec state. Perfect job for her.

8. Given the source.

Patrick Caddell is completely uncredible among true democrats. Move on, nothing to see in anything that he proposes.

[kenny blankenship]

9. Because Barack Obama hasn't been far enough to the right for "healing and unification"?

That piece contains 31 flavors of Crazy, at least. I know Pat Caddell is a prominent Democratic Party pollster and operative, but he should watch out. People have been committed involuntarily for far less.

10. Trade one DLC New Dem for another...it's like

switching your socks around, putting the one on your left foot onto your right foot, and your right foot sock on your left foot. Notice a difference?

[MilesColtrane]

11. Penned by Fox News' own Pat Caddell and Douglas "Obama should step down" Schoen?

Haha

No, but really, fuck those two guys.

[sharp_stick]

12. We need to offer up some PUMA

hunting permits. These tools just won't shut the hell up, even when Hillary Clinton herself tells them to shut the hell up.
