In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton Indicates She Could Remain Secretary Of State Longer Than Expected [View all]Swede Atlanta
(3,596 posts)11. I think she has done an outstanding job as SoS......
I would have to lose her experience but I can understand if she wants to return to private life and potentially pursue other interests. She has previously indicated she is not interested in any future political life. We'll see. I supported her in 2008 and think she would make a tremendous president. I would definitely support her should she decide to pursue the White House in 2016. If BO is re-elected she would have some significant hurdles to overcome.
With the exception of GHWB following Reagan, the same party holding the WH for more than 2 terms is rare. I can't think of any other occurrence since the Constitution was amended to limit Presidents to two terms.

Yup, exactly how I was. Not a fan in 2008, she earned it. And IMHO it will be Clinton-Bush redux

Nope..she is NOT the strongest candidate. And a primary will decide the Dem candidate.
