Report: Napolitano mulls presidential bid

Published: Feb. 5, 2013 at 9:37 AM

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- If Hillary Clinton isn't in the 2016 U.S. presidential mix, a Washington Post commentary says Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano may be the woman to watch.

Before moving to Washington Napolitano was a well-regarded and popular governor in Arizona. Since arriving in the nation's capital she has made it known she's mulling making a run for higher office, the Post said Monday.

As governor, Napolitano was criticized for not being aggressive enough in addressing the influx of illegal immigrants. But as homeland security secretary, she has an opportunity in which to change that image, including a high-profile tour of the southwest border this week and discussing the resources the Obama administration has allocated to reducing the number of undocumented workers entering the United States.

The Post said immigration overhaul could give Napolitano the chance to put herself at the forefront of an issue of importance to the future of the Democratic Party.

Interesting, because, reportedly, if Hillary is not in the mix, Biden will run.

Palace intrigue.

1. If Hillary doesn't run we will have to

have a primary of sorts. The primary process will not allow a winner outside the establishment.

But Napolitano? Give me strength.

2. Good Lord. I hope we have a primary if Hillary runs

3. Occurs to me that this might be a false flag rumor.

4. Imagine every sort of deception

then double it. That's what is coming. And while you are looking over there they will pulling off some other evil nation destroying operation over here.

5. "Imagine every sort of deceptionthen double it." Tall order.

I am not sure I can. Not sure I want to, either.

What they make obvious is depressing enough.

6. Like she could ever excite the country's voters, let alone our base.

Going from a candidate as strong as Obama, to the former Gov, would be like watching Star Wars and then sticking in Buck Rogers immediately afterward! Be-de-be-de-be-de, lookout Buck, indeed!~
