Bill Clinton thinks that President Obama will win election quite easily.
“I think that he’s gonna win handily, and I have for a long time. I actually have since the 2010 elections. [W]hat the right-wing says always sounds better when they’re sayin’ it than when they’re doin’ it. So I thought after the 2010 elections, they basically assured his reelection.”
Meanwhile, Sarah Palin thinks Mitt Romney should pick her or someone as unqualified, inexperienced, unintelligent and know-nothing as her.
“What I would advise the nominee, Mitt Romney, or whomever the nominee is: Don’t necessarily play it safe and do just what the GOP establishment expects them to do.”
Yeah, because it all worked so well the last time.
Meanwhile, former and future Speaker Pelosi wants Secretary Hillary Clinton to run for President in 2016.
The California Democrat told PBS’s Charlie Rose she has “no knowledge” of Clinton’s intentions, but also left no mystery about her wishes to see Clinton on the presidential ballot four years from now. “That would be so exciting,” Pelosi told Rose in an interview that aired Monday night. “Isn’t she a magnificent secretary of State?”
Clinton, for her part, hasn’t completely ruled out the possibility of another White House run, but has said repeatedly that it’s an unlikely scenario. The secretary of State, who has said she will not stay on if President Obama wins a second term, told NBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Monday that she wants to spend more time with family, friends and “the stuff that makes life worth living.”
I just have a feeling that after Clinton recharges after she retires from the State Department in early 2013, she will rediscover her desire and intention to want to be President. And I hope she does run. Because she has been a magnificent Secretary of State.
