Reagan, Clinton and Bush II

Bush I won after Reagan
Gore "lost" after Clinton (and that is very, very arguable)
and Cheney chose not run (though he would have lost)

So we have one win, one "loss" and one abstain - so there's not a huge precedent that says she'll have a hard time

Hillary Clinton Indicates She Could Remain Secretary Of State Longer Than Expected [View all] Adenoid_Hynkel Oct 2012 OP

I hope she does, and then runs for President in 2016. That is her time still_one Oct 2012 #1

She has such a loyal following, but it'll hinge on whether we can re-elect Obama ffr Oct 2012 #45

Hillary45. The time is now for a woman president, the strongest candidate of all is Hillary45. graham4anything Oct 2012 #2
