1. Probably. The media have a fixation on anyone named Clinton.

2. If either one of them is in a prominent position w/in the Obama Administration
Yes.

Your post is proof of that.

3. I think it depends on if Hillary gets a spot in Obama's cabinet. When she
was "just:" a Senator from NY, there wasn't much brouhaha about them. Even if she does get a place in the cabinet, maybe things will die down after a while.

7. I think giving her a spot might do more to shut the media up.
One way to make someone vanish is to give them a cabinet position.

13. Yeah, and before it all depended on Hillary being the VP
and we all found out it wasn't about Hillary but more about dividing the party. This is getting old.

5. They are going to try. Nothing sells like contraversy.
Plus, even Republicans who would never admit it wish we had Clinton's peace and prosperity. Everyone wants Clinton back, and everyone wants to hate Clinton at the same time. He's the shadow Obama has to shake, and the media will do all they can to sew that shadow to Obama.

I give it a year, though. Obama will be his own master by then.

9. Massive manipulation to get keep the CLINTON SOAP OPERA going. Could be bad seed in heart of the
Change agenda.
