The presidential election is four years away but it’s hard to not get a little excited when you read of numbers like this from the PPP.
Add Georgia to the list of states where Democrats might be competitive in 2016 with Hillary Clinton as their nominee. She has a 49/44 favorability rating in the state and would lead Marco Rubio (49/46) and Paul Ryan (50/45) in hypothetical match ups. She would lead by an even wider margin against Newt Gingrich (51/44).
We have now found Clinton competitive in polls in Alaska, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Texas.
The Republican brand is so tarnished right now that anyone Dems put up in 2016 would probably be favored to win. That’s true even if the right’s current golden boy (a little less so after his disappointing SOTU response speech), Marco Rubio, runs. The latest Bloomberg poll has the Republican favorability numbers at 35 percent. In comparison, Obama is at 55 percent. Ouch.
But having Hillary run in 2016 would just about cement the deal. It does not appear that Republicans are about to let up on their senseless attacks on women’s rights and minorities. As well, the Tea Party is dead set on getting a few more radical conservatives like Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock to run. Nothing says “We’re the Stupid Party and proud of it!” better than having a couple of neanderthals like Akin and Mourdock representing your side.
The icing on the cake would be Republican’s reincarnation of Joe McCarthy, Ted Cruz, deciding that he was ready for the White House and run in 2016. I’d pay money to see that grandstanding, snarky bully going down in flames in a presidential election.
My political prediction for 2012 (based on absolutely no inside information): Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden swap places. Biden becomes Secretary of State — a position he’s apparently coveted for years. And Hillary Clinton, Vice President.
So the Democratic ticket for 2012 is Obama-Clinton.
Why do I say this? Because Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a Democratic base that’s been disillusioned with his cave-ins to regressive Republicans. Hillary Clinton on the ticket can do that.
Interesting. An Obama-Clinton ticket is a positive on so many fronts, I can’t see a downside to it. The economy will still be a drag come November so what better way to rev up voters than by adding some juice to the ticket. But I doubt it’ll happen.
Clinton has already stated she plans on leaving the Secretary of State post and has no interest in the VP job. But hey, this is the daffy world of politics where yesterday’s hard held belief is today’s easy-bake flip-flop…so you never know.
“It’s on the table,” veteran Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward told CNN’s John King in an interview Tuesday on John King, USA. “Some of Hillary Clinton’s advisers see it as a real possibility in 2012.”
The scenario – whereby Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would switch positions – has been bandied about by political observers for months, seen by some as a potentially savvy strategy to gin up excitement among what appears to be a depressed Democratic base.
“President Obama needs some of the women, Latinos, retirees that she did so well with during the [2008] primaries and, so they switch jobs, not out of the question, and the other interesting question is, Hillary Clinton could run in her own right in 2016 and be younger than Ronald Reagan when he was elected president.”
I can’t see Hillary taking on the VP job, it would appear to be a demotion. But hey, crazier stuff has happened.

Glenn Beck with Katie Couric on Hillary Clinton and his voting preference…
“I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think I would have much preferred her as President, and may have voted for her against John McCain.”
“I think John McCain would have been worse for the country than Barack Obama. How’s that?”
Sure Glenn. Here’s a guy trying to give the impression that he’s balanced and rational in his thinking by making a statement which he’ll never have to back up or prove.
What a clown.
