A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
******************
At the rate the left and the media (Whoops! Sorry! I repeat myself!) are pushing Hillary into the Oval Office, you'd think she has nothing whatsoever to do to gain entrance. No primary and no opposition from the right, (at least no serious opposition) will make this a milk run for Hillary.
Come on, folks. The Right has no one to run against Hillary, or any serious democratic candidate. It pains me to report this, but I have this thing about reporting what I see, as I see it.
Unless Hillary states, flat out, that she will not be a candidate for President in 2016, she will be the next President of the United States. Heck, even then she might be drafted!
It's her turn and nothing -- and no one -- will stand in her way. And yes, I DO know how ridiculous that sounds.
Consider this: "Hillary Clinton is the next President of the United States. The campaign has begun as the darts are being thrown. It doesn't matter. She will win the race. It will be historic for more reasons than one. She has paid her dues as a political candidate, as a wife and as a woman. She is ready to step up and take her seat. She is qualified beyond qualifications no matter how you observe.
Hillary will win the election of 2016 for a very basic simple reason. The Republicans don't have a viable candidate and probably won't." (Underlining by JDL) -- SOURCE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/hermene-hartman/10-reasons-why-hillary-cl_b_4803147.html
Do not be deceived by the misdirection that Hillary hasn't made up her mind, or that she is tired and just wants to be a grandmother. That's Bovine Scatology. She WANTS to be President . She yearns to be President. She craves the presidency. She covets the oval office.
Hillary has ALWAYS wanted to be President. It is the goal her eye (and her heart) has been set upon for lo, these many decades, and she will not be dissuaded.
Obama has set the stage for rule by a woman in the Oval Office. Obama evinced very little masculine type leadership during his regime. That might be because the power behind Obama's throne was -- and is -- a woman. His (her) reign has paved the way for Hillary.
While it is true the country will be split even further apart with Hillary in the Oval Office, that is of no concern to her or to the Progressive/Marxists leading America today.
The advance teams are already formed and active in the field. You may have seen the early slogan "Ready for Hillary" posted on car bumpers. You have most certainly seen it on the Internet.
"... a high-powered political action committee called Ready for Hillary is going gang-busters, raising money and setting the table for a campaign. Several former top Clinton White House aides, such as James Carville, Harold Ickes, and Craig Smith, are advising the group. Mrs. Clinton herself is not involved." -- SOURCE: http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/President/2012/0410/Beyond-Hillary-Clinton-Eight-Democrats-who-might-run-if-she-doesn-t/Hillary-Rodham-Clinton
According to a CNN/ORC poll, released back in September, some 65 percent of Democratic primary voters want Clinton as their party’s nominee.

See what I mean? Honestly, does a single name leap from the computer screen to inspire you to believe the GOP has better than a snowball's chance in Hades of winning in 2016? Let's face it: The Republican Party is bereft of inspiring leadership and/or potential candidates who can set the blood to boiling in a good old fashioned political race for the Presidency. Meanwhile, back at the dems' ranch -- WHO will eventually challenge Hillary. There are those who believe Brian Schweitzer, the ex-governor of Montana will be the Hillary challenger. Schweitzer is an expert on energy policy, a former rancher and soil engineer, and he's eloquent.
Even if Schweitzer does run, I am convinced it will all be "pro forma."
The thing that troubles me even more than the thought of Hillary being in the White House again is -- Bill being in the White House again!
