Those who brought up the idea have no basis and I think this story should be ignored.The only Republican that could have posed a strong challenge is Rick Santorum because he is a real conservative who most probably would have been backed by Catholics .Mitt Romney will find out when he confronts the democrats campaign machine that running for the Presidency is not the same as being a CEO.
The fact is,Americans are safer under Barack Obama.The terrorists have been disorganized and at best running one man shows that will never come to anything. How will Romney deal with Iran?He has no experience dealing with terrorists and it is up to Americans to re-elect a tried and tested leader in the face of growing threats from Iran. Running the Presidency is not the TV apprentice show or being a CEO of a Board.

Date: Monday, February 6, 2012, 5:16 PM--If she is indeed looking to challenge Obama --- then she will lose and then Obama will lose. Isn't it too late for someone to declare any intention to contest the Democratic Party primary against Obama??? However, there is precedence. In 1980 --- the late Ted Kennedy challenged the incumbent Democratic Party President, Jimmy Carter for the primary --- Ted lost the primary to Carter who again lost to the dead Ronald Wilson Regan.So really there is nothing new under the sun --- everything is a replay of the old stuffs.I will not bet my lowly dollar that Hilary Clinton will not challenge Obama, but the likelihood of her doing so is weak, because she will not want to be viewed as a spoiler.DododawaFrom: idowu <idowubobo@yahoo.com>

--I can categorically tell you this is a big lie from mischievous wishful thinking evil people. There is no iota of truth and there is no flip flopping gene in Hillary, you can take her yes and no to the bank.There is no need wasting anytime on this, they've had 4 primaries and caucuses and Obama was unopposed except in New Hampshire where a loony challenged Obama. There was no Hillary name on the ballot.Pronto!!!

Dear All:A weird story - dated January 10, 2012 - indeed.But if she has changed her mind sha o, let her "bring in on...make Obama's day...."But I support her for his Vice-Presidency, for her uncommon, steadfast, un-alloyed loyalty in the past four years...she will be breaking a ceiling.And there you have it.... Obama deserves a second term..and will get it.Bolaji AlukoObama till 2017Clinton: 'Below zero' chance at challenging Obama
Posted byCNN's Dan Merica--- In NaijaPolitics@yahoogroups.com, Ugochukwu Ejinkeonye <scruples206@...> wrote:Washington (CNN) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says there is a "below zero" chance that she will challenge President Barack Obama for the presidency in 2012.In an interview with CNN's Alison Kosik on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, the former senator from New York said she is happy with her current job.
On Monday, Sept. 12th, CNN will broadcast the "Tea Party Republican Debate," live from Tampa, Florida at 8 p.m. ET. Follow all the issues and campaign news leading up to the debate on CNNPolitics.com and @cnnpolitics on Twitter."One of the great things about being Secretary of State is I am out of politics," Clinton said. "I have a big job to do and I am honored to do it everyday."When Kosik asked if she would ever get back into politics, Clinton said she had the same feelings."I don't think so. I think I am going to stay focused on doing what I can to make sure that we continue to lead the world," Clinton said.Former Vice President Dick Cheney, possibly in an attempt to needle Democrats, said in a recent interview with ABC News that it was "not a bad idea" for Clinton to challenge Obama."I am not interested in being drawn back into it [politics] by anybody," said Clinton.In the past, Clinton has also indicated that she would like secretary of state to be last her job in government."I think I'll serve as secretary of state as my last public position," Clinton said at a 2010 event in Bahrain. "Then (I'll) probably go back to advocacy work, particularly on behalf of women and children, and particularly around the world."She told CNN's Wolf Blizter earlier this year that if the president is re-elected she does not want to serve a second term.Clinton and Obama fought well into overtime in a historic battle for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Since then there have been rumors that Clinton might want to primary challenge Obama in 2012, but she has consistently knocked down such talk.–CNN's Gabriella Schwarz contributed to this reportStory dated Tuesday January 10, 2012

Posted on Tuesday, January 10th, 2012
By Frank Lake
Comments (129)115 VotesWASHINGTON, DC - Sources close to Hillary Clinton say she will announce her run for President.Hillary Clinton came to WWN Headquarters and told editors that she is livid about the downgrade of the U.S. Credit Rating. "I've stood silent long enough. I don't think Obama is a leader and I know… I know I can do a much better job. I am a true leader and… I am going to challenge Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination for the President of the United States."The White House was quick to deny the news, saying that as far as they knew Hillary Clinton is happy as Secretary of State and remains loyal to Barack Obama.But, WWN has learned that in recent weeks, Bill Clinton, has been meeting with democratic operatives in Washington and grass roots leaders early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Bill thinks this time around, Hillary can easily wrestle the nomination from a weakened Barack Obama."It's her time. The nation desperately needs Hillary. The world desperately needs Hillary," Bill Clinton told WWN's Frank Lake in phone interview last night.Some cynical Republican consultants feel that this was the plan all along. "They made a pact back in 2008. Barack would serve one term and get Obamacare passed, then Hillary would serve two terms and pass the other elements of their progressive agenda. The plan is working perfectly."Sources close to Hillary said, however, that Hillary has not spoken to Barack Obama personally in over three weeks. "Hillary feels that President Obama has moved dramatically to the center and abandoned the core progressive principles they both old dear."A quick Rasmussen poll of Democratic primary voters puts the race at 52% for Hillary and 45% for Obama with 3% undecided.James Carville, Paul Begala and, surprisingly, Dick Morris, have all signed up to join the Hillary for President team. 2012 is going to be a wild year.Bill Clinton likes Hillary's chances. "Hillary is going to crush Obama. And the country is going to get two for one. We are back, baby. We're back!!"Republicans and Tea Party Patriots are… very worried. VERY worried.
