Matt Drudge really knows how to diss Hillary Clinton, doesn’t he?

This poll does NOT do much for her either but 15 points before the November election may change considerably after.

If Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were to challenge President Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2012, she would currently have the support of 37% of Democrats nationally, while 52% would support Obama.

Presidents with relatively low job approval ratings heading into a possible re-election bid are vulnerable to intra-party challenges. As two examples, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter were challenged for their respective parties’ nomination as sitting presidents — Ford by Ronald Reagan, and Carter by Edward Kennedy and Jerry Brown. Ford’s job approval rating had reached as low as 37% in 1975, the year before he ran for re-election, and Carter’s had reached 28% in 1979. Obama’s current weekly job approval rating is 44%, albeit with more than two years until the next presidential election.

Matt Drudge, as always, is having fun with Hillary Clinton. This photo on the Reuter’s wire is pretty weird.

And, it reminds us that if the Democrats insist on sending the Clintons out to save their ass in the Midterm Congressional elections (in five weeks), there will be reminders of what has gone on before – like impeachment, perjury, “sex with that woman” and political contribution corruption.

Some outstanding surrogates, the Clintons make – for the GOP

Speaking about Slow Joe Biden…..does anyone expect Joe to be on the ticket with President Obama in 2012?

If Obama is declining in popularity, do you think the Democrats will want to recycle Hillary Clinton?

Answer: Democrat leaders will want to resurrect Bill Clinton for Florida, Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina and Virginia – along comes Hillary to the rescue.

If I were the political advisers of President Obama, I would not be planning any second term festivities just yet.

The Democrat Party is in disarray, fighting with their major donor unions (notably the SEIU – Senator Blanche Lincoln Arkansas fight) and poised to lose their super majority in Congress this November. Interestingly enough, President Bill Clinton has re-emerged in the political arena in Arkansas.

Might Hillary be waiting in the wings, should Obama start to collapse in the polls?

You betcha.

The President will now be looking over his LEFT and RIGHT shoulders.
