This is very interesting, and telling.
Rasmussen is polling on a Hillary Clinton matchup against Sarah Palin in 2012, assuming McCain does not run for re-election and sits content with one term.
After SoetorObama’s loss in the fall, the Democratic Party will be purged of its recent “obamafication”, with Dean, Brazile, and hopefully Pelosi and Reid shown the door. Clintonian centrist Democrats will take back the party, and Clinton will be our nominee in 2012.
Many believe Palin’s VP slot this time around, and her history-making role as our first female Vice President, sets the stage for her to run in 2012, with John McCain’s blessing.
Hillary Clinton leads the poll 52%-41%, and will be our first female president.
And Palin will be another huge crack in that glass ceiling for her to get there.

Someone invent a time machine, please.

Did Hillary Clinton approve this message?
September 3, 2008 at 6:31 pm
This means we have to suffer through four loooong miserable years of McSame to the one that should already be the head of the Democratic Party. Well, it might be worth it if the American people get screwed over enough that they realize how stupid they were in the 08 primaries.
September 3, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Flo, I can assure you — it won’t be worth it. Not sure if ANYTHING would be worth 4 years of a McCain power trip.
September 3, 2008 at 6:40 pm
I think Hillary and Sarah are both great. It will be a hard choice.
But Hillary will be my choice.
September 3, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Sc hillcrat, I think the “power trip” is Barky oblah blah’s and sitting thru anytime under that stuttering fool would be pure hell. Rather have Mccain anyday. At least we know he was born in this country and his first priority is the united states citizens, not the citizens of the world.
September 3, 2008 at 8:29 pm
I’m with Hillary forever and always. If having a (second) President Clinton means having a President McCain now, then so be it. Anyway, he has more integrity in his pinky than Obama has in his entire lanky body.
September 3, 2008 at 8:39 pm
His first priority is him. But we’re all a CLOSE SECOND! Yes. Nipping at his heels in TOWERING significance…………………..
September 3, 2008 at 8:44 pm
P.S. That right eye squint makes me nervous. I hope our Hillary’s giving him one right back.

Yes she will, Randy!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 4, 2008 at 11:50 am
Sarah, Thank You! It took a Republican VP candidate to alert the Nation and the Democratic Party of HRC’s worth. I always thought the Democrats were the progressive party!
Time to move the “Good Old Boys” aside- Hillary Clinton will break that glass ceiling in 2012! It is time for Women to step forward- speak their truth-Get ready for a strong women leader! I bet women could keep war at a minimum, balance the budget, create jobs, initiate health care and take the kids to school. Don’t ever underestimate the power of a Women with a purpose. Hillary Clinton for President 2012

I can’t believe this, already not a week after our party was “unified”. Hillary lost, get over it. I am as big a Clinton democrat as anyone posting here or in the country. But as long as we fight over this pettiness the republicans will always win, simply because they can unify. The fact that both Clinton and Palin have such wide appeal shows that one day we will have a female president. The most important thing this year is to get Obama elected. Because, and im not just spouting spin here, we can not handle four more years of neo-con rule. With McCain that is what you will get, hawks and warmongers deciding foreign policy, oil companies deciding energy policy, and corporate America tightening its control of government and the political process. Is that what you want, just so Hillary can be president. Like she said at the convention this election isnt about her its about the future of our nation. Finally if you want war with Iran, then keep this up, because if McCain wins we will fight Iran mark my words. I said the same thing 8 years ago about Iraq and no one would listen, please dont make the same mistake again. I love Hillary and Bill, it was the Clintons who got me involved in politics when I was only 12. But she fell short and will never be president, get over it.

@ beverl leslie, “At least we know he was born in this country and his first priority is the united states citizens, not the citizens of the world.”
Actually Obama was born in Hawaii, a state in the union he was born in the U.S., however McCain was born in the Panama Canal zone not in the U.S. so just get your facts straight. Personally as a white man I find your argument to be racist, that Obama is less american because he is black and has a strange name. Honestly I also find it sexist to vote for a woman candidate simply because she is a woman. Palin is no Hillary Clinton, and to wish more neo-con republican rule on us for that purpose is just selfish. I think you should re-evaluate your position on this election.

Derrick,
You should be playing dominoes instead of political analyst.
Just FYI.
………….
Sarah Palin is an awesome leader. But this is about John McCain, his tactics, and his judgement.
September 6, 2008 at 9:00 pm
At what point did I say that this wasn’t about John McCain. By the way I have a degree in political science, so I am not playing analyst I actually am one. Sarah Palin is not an “awesome leader”, she is a typical politician. Sarah Palin is also a big problem, because she makes the nutty christian right foam at the mouth much in the same way Bush did. If she drives up Republican turn out then she becomes a threat. Better to face a threat and marginalize its effect, than to ignore it and reap the consequences. All I said in the post is that Hillary Clinton will never be president. Even if Obama loses, Palin will kill Hillary four years from now, should Hillary even win nomination. If you cant see that then you should stop “playing” political analyst, and leave it to the pro’s.
September 6, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Just one more point, if you would have actually read my post, if was mostly about John McCain and how his policies would mirror Bush’s. In fact more so in terms of foreign policy. If you want war with Iran, and a new cold war with Russia. If you think the economy if fine and are happy with private corporations running your country like a fascist regime. If you agree that women should not have a right to choose what becomes of their lives and bodies. Then McCain/Palin is your ticket.

Go Hillary! She remains my favorite candidate. John McCain is a close second so I am supporting him now. I was horrified by how Hillary was treated by the media’s obvious bias towards Obama. Obama is so sexist and lies all the time. He slides around every issue with his Obamaspeak. I am disappointed that Hillary did not call for a real vote in the democratic convention and fight for herself rather than cave in to the Obama pressure. We really lost this year’s best candidate. It also upsets me greatly that she is campaigning for Obama–I wish she would stop that. He is a terrible candidate with no real experience who is running a very negative campaign and never gets called on it. McCain offered Obama a honorable and factual way of running this race by offering Obama weekly debates on television which Obama rejected probably because he knows he really has nothing but slippery words to contribute. Then Obama started the negative ads and words on the stump. Then Obama had his visous and sexist attacks against Palin that he refused to apoligize for. Vote McCain now and Hillary
Clinton in 2012!
