Hillary Clinton: Top of the Ticket in 2012... Or Bust! (Still4Hill 8/2/10)

There were a number of "Hillary for veep" articles today, but I just don't want to bother with those anymore. I'm with Still4Hill-- it's top of the ticket or forget about it. Nobody puts Baby in the corner.

As we take the long, floating soft leap off the wedding weekend and hit the hard Monday ground, we are met with the first, to my knowledge, suggestion from a Democrat that Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of  State, replace Joe Biden on the 2012 ticket.  In an Op-Ed in Politico today, L. Douglas Wilder, former Governor of Virginia, suggested just that.

We have been hearing this suggestion from Republicans, some U.K. sources,  and Fox News types, but this is the first I have seen it suggested by a Democrat.

The problem with this White House is not Joe Biden.  Bless his heart, he does provide comic relief from time to time, and he is out there in earnest doing his job.   He presides over the Senate, makes speeches to explain policy, and has traveled as requested.  The problem with this White House, in part, is that the POTUS is not IN it.  Nor is he on Capitol Hill trying to get bipartisan support for important bills like the extension on unemployment benefits and such.  No, he is on the road campaigning.  So while Joe sits in the Senate Chamber doing his job, the White House is devoid of a leader.

The tea leaves tell me that Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden have done enough bail-outs of a President who was not ready to govern when he was elected and fails to do so now.  No it is not the bottom of the ticket that needs replacement.  Joe is doing his best.  It is the top of the ticket that will be a problem in 2012 if Hillary Rodham Clinton’s name is not there. No compromises are worth considering.  Hillary on the top of the ticket.  Period.

Yep, top of the ticket, or bust it is.


It is all too convenient fo recognize the truth of the matter... the working class is disenthanted with Pres.Obama and will abandon him if they have not done so already.

In this video, Fmr. Gov. Wilder wants Obama to Drop Biden And Run With Clinton and quite interestingly, his "justification" starts out with hos Biden has done not much in foreign policy.. or for that matter not much at all for the President but he falls just shy of saying how much Hillary Clinton has done or how well she is perceived and how high her ratings are... that latter part is something people are not acknowledging explicitly, but are very happy to leverage when recognizing that the working class is likely to have abandoned Pres.Obama.  Convenient!!


We want Hillary Clinton to be the top of the ticket in 2012.

I agree. No second fiddle to Obama. Top of the ticket or nothing.
