CNN.com: Hillary don't run for president

http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/24/opinion/moore-hillary-clinton/

(CNN) -- Don't run, Hillary.

Nobody is saying the former secretary of state, New York senator, U.S. and Arkansas first lady, and Yale-trained attorney is not qualified for the White House. In fact, she may have one of the most impressive résumés to ever be submitted for the job. Clinton has a breadth of experience that indicates she has every capability needed to be president of the United States.

But it is time for America to move on.

And I remember when she was running in 2008 and CNN announced some sort of special which asked the question: "Is Hillary Clinton too liberal and too angry?" That sticks in my mind because it made me shout at the TV. First of all, she's not a liberal, but a centrist, like her husband. And "too angry?!" Misogyny, anyone?! She was my senator and I'd vote for her again tomorrow... Brilliant woman.

She's also in favor of offshoring, and she's in favor of people being forced to show proof of health insurance in order to get a job interview. Talk about fscking bad.

this is an Op-Ed from an outside contributor, not CNN per se. When you see the source, the rationale is completely understandable. Rove & co are likely panicking at the thought of a Hillary candidacy.

From the link:

Editor's note: James C. Moore, a Texan, is a business consultant and partner at Big Bend Strategies. He is co-author of "Bush's Brain: How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush Presidential" and a TV political analyst.

But it's presumably the best one pushing Hillary to not run.

In that light I do believe Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States.

Barring another candidate that can challenge her.

"In fact, she may have one of the most impressive résumés to ever be submitted for the job. Clinton has a breadth of experience that indicates she has every capability needed to be president of the United States."

Hmmm, that sounds like a mighty good reason to run, if you ask me. I bet no one ever said something similar about Bush Jr.
