1. Hmmm, I would be okay with her running in 2016 but she will be in her late 60's by then.

I wonder how long she will stay on as SOS.

2. To be referenced another 500X between now and 2012

due to unnecessary Hillary threads.

3. She said the same thing in 2007

She announced she was running in January 2007.

4. Another top "contender" taking herself out of primary contention

to bat down the Repub PsyOps talking points.

Feingold? No.
Dean? No.
Clinton? No.
Kucinich? No.

7. So who will we have in 2016? I don't see Biden running.

Who?

9. We won't know. It is too early. When did Obama emerge?

2007ish? 2012 is six years away. After 2012 is when we will have a clearer idea.

8. Read about that here early this morning:

11. Then that means "ever"

I knock people who say she's too old... but 10 years from now she will be.

12. Why do they keep asking her this question?

What else is she supposed to say? Who knows what she will feel like doing by 2016? Heck, most people don't even know what they'll have for dinner on any given night.

:eyes:

14. It's the republicans

trying some mischief. They want to put it out there that Obama is going to be challenged for the nomination. Ignore them.

[Beacool]

16. OK

:D

15. I doubt that this will stop the media (except if they move to Dean or Feingold as a new talking

point).
