    That's real nice. And typical GOP...insulting a woman and judging her on her physical attributes. She's also 65 years old. What do you want?

    No one in their right mind would want Hillary, particularly after her coverup testimony. Then there is the fact that we would have the misogynist Bill Clinton for 4 more years.

    A misandrist hates persons of the male sex, a misogynist hates persons of the female sex, and a misanthrope is a hater of mankind. Obama satisfies all three, particularly when it comes to the unborn. He has a real problem there..

    You left out Governor Walker of Wisconsin, Governor Kasich of Ohio, Governor Martinez of New Mexico, and Governor Fallin of Oklahoma. Of course there is our own fine Governor Haley but the democrats would crucify her over her parents religion.

    I believe Christie shot his wad with his over the top reception of Obama after the hurricane. I understand why but it really did not help New Jersey. FEMA is a poster child for the ineptness and corruption in the Federal Government.

    Jeb Bush may well be the best person for the job but the Bush name would hurt and frankly three from the same family is too much.

    You entirely missed the point. It is not if Hillary is suitable to be POTUS. It is about denigrating her because of her physical appearance. But of course, you would think that is okay too.

    I think Rand Paul is very viable on the Republican side. Paul Ryan is a liability. On the Demcrat side, who cares?

    MP I said nothing about Hillary as a woman. I was speaking of her success in covering up the administration behavior in the Benghazi murders. Furthermore, you have no idea what I think about women. One thing for sure. I am not a "woman hater" and teen age abuser like Bill Clinton or a baby hater like Barak Hussein Obama.

    Paul demonstrates a radical temperament, much like Christie, though they are probably poles apart politically. I would say Walker for president and perhaps Martinez or Falin for VP!

    Yep, you left one out.

    Never let a good crisis go to waste.

    If the crisis is "good" enough, Obama may serve all or part of a 3rd term. November elections temporarily postponed until the crisis (whatever it may be) is over. With xyz problems, the country can't afford a lame duck president and a lame duck congress.

    Wow, you said this outloud. Shame on you. Secretary Clinton has served very well in her role representing our country. Not only this but she, or any other woman, deserves this kind of remark.

    If we are to be good, honest, biblical complementarians we must realize no woman deserves nor is owed a determination of her character, worth, or intellect based on her looks. We besmirch our holy calling when we use such churlish phrases.

    I don't think Secretary Clinton will run. She has previously made statements that she has no desire for public office beyond her term as SecState. Also, the Benghazi mess will be a huge problem. I do fault her office for not responding appropriately to the lack of security at our embassies. This was a known issue. It is a terrible part of our history now.

    The RNC has better potentials right now, but the DNC will look to raise up a few unknowns. It will be intriguing to see what happens there.

    That said, I fully expect the RNC to lose the House in 2014. Gaining the White House after this will be difficult for sure.

    Vice President Biden isn't a realistic contender, VPs never really are. However, there might be a couple DNC dark horses that get into the game soon.

    MP, I thought liberals were supposed to be enlightened and tolerant. Why would you just assume that "ugly woman" had anything to do with her looks? Are you really that shallow?

    Hopefully Jon Huntsman on the Republican side. Among the Democrats I'd like to see Governor Brian Schweitzer and Senator Michael Bennett run.

    Why don't we just skip the theater of another scam election and give control of the government directly to the international banksters and corporitos?

    They're our real rulers anyway. Might save us a couple billion dollars in campaigning costs and an upset stomach having to set and watch all those scripted debates again.

    In keeping with the GOP "rules" isn't it Santorum's turn next?
