Speculation about Hillary Clinton making a run for President in 2012, which began back in July, has made it all the way to Meet the Press. This morning David Gregory asked Obama campaign strategist David Plouffe whether he thought Hillary would challenge President Obama in 2012.
Said Gregory: “Can you rule out, based on actual information, that Secretary Clinton would not pursue the presidency again? Would not challenge President Obama?”

Said Plouffe: “Listen you saw this week they’re working so well together, working on Middle East peace, and it’s a wonderful partnership. And I think that was a really inspired choice by the President and the Secretary of State Clinton is just doing a wonderful job. They’re a team and a great team for America.”

Translation: We really hope not?

One suspects that unless Obama’s poll numbers take a radical turn for the better (which essentially requires a equally radical turn of the economy) or Hillary Clinton herself comes out and categorically denies any intention to run, this is the sort of speculation which will persist through 2012 (and/or until Obama appoints Hillary to a new job).

I hope the Dems are begging HRC to run by 2012. They and the country should be so lucky. Obama and his crew are expecting to get him a second term by blaming his poor performance as POTUS on inability to get legislation passed because of the Pubs - after the 2010 takeover (of house and possibly, senate). If the Dem party is smart, and actually wants to do something decent for the country, party leaders will help Obama find a good reason not to seek re-election in 2012. Then, they'll get on over to foggy bottom, fall on their sorry knees, and beg Hillary Clinton to run for president.

I don't give the Dems credit for being extremely bright after they screwed up so royally in 2008, but maybe they'll get a clue after a whole bunch of them lose their elections in November.

The far-left of the party will never beg Hillary to run.  They, like the POTUS, are so full of themselves that their egos will never allow for that.

David Gregory, We admire your asking the question head-on! Here's an even better question.  If Hillary runs for the WH for 2012, will the DNP leadership (i.e., Obama) support her candidacy? We have to start asking the correct question and challenge the assumption that the POTUS is going to run for 2012!  May be then he will see the light although the Oval office seems to be getting farther and farther from daylight lately...
