3. How about "She's up about 20 points in most primary polls"?
I'd say that's the most likely option.

9. True. Actually, his reasoning is in your link.
In his strangely discombobulated way.

6. hmm could it be
that bush's and clintons handlers are one and the same? so if they want to further their agenda they must get their candidate in office and hay why not have the current president announce the next president.

14. Two possibilities--take your pick.

a) Legacy talk--you know, elder statesman, commenting on the world today.

b) sending the TERRA! TERRA! TERRA! word out.

Which one sounds more like * ?

32. Funny how 80% of the American people knew that a vote for the IWR was a vote for Bush's war in Iraq
Anyone who says others is blantantly disingenuous.

22. "Bush also says that Clinton will lose the presidential race to whomever the Republican
nominee will be." That is the last sentence in that "news" story. So if HRC runs against the nut-job Ron Paul I suppose we will have to Hail to the Chief Paul?

:crazy: :silly: :crazy:

23. I think it's a combination of the first two options
He probably does see as their most likely opponent at this point and is trying to help make that a reality by confirming her inevitability to the media. Then the White House official came around for good measure to launch an attack on Obama, so as to push a narrative on him that will make it less likely for him to be the nominee if it is successful. So I think it's clear that the White House would like to face Hillary and would not like to face Barack.

24. Galvanizing the base against a woman President? Easy
Don't underestimate the racism and sexism of the voters.

Many people will not vote for a woman or a black for President.

I think Hillary can run as Vice President, a historic first step in inself. She may have to be twice as good to get that.

26. I'll go with "because she's up by 20," or
"Calling it like he sees it."

30. Even this buffoon knows that Hillary is their only shot to win, but
let's hope the moron picking Hillary will be the kiss of death and she doesn't get the nom.
