Good question, and I’d be supporting Chelsea should she choose to put herself through such a thing.

I’d put our Atty General Martha Coakley up as a possible contender. She is a candidate for Ted Kennedy’s seat and if she gets it she will probably make a name for herself.

Personally, I’d like to see more of Rep Marcy Kaptur of Ohio. I don’t think she has such aspirations, but I wish she would become a more visable voice in the Democratic Party.

Sarah Palin? I wouldn’t vote for her even if she did run. Just having a woman president isn’t nearly as important to me as having a competent president whose ideas and policy positions I support. I wouldn’t vote for Michael Steele for president just to have an African American. I voted for Obama because I supported the issues that he supported. This is bigger than what woman can make a credible run for president, but which one that could get the kind of broad support that such a run would take. It’s going to take more than just wearing a skirt and winking at the debate (Sarah Palin).

Hard to see the future. I had a lump in my throat when I watched Hillary say, “This isn’t the party I’d hoped for.” My Hillary ’08 clutch purse is a keepsake not just for the historic value, but because I admire her so much.

I’m sorry to hear that but I have reservations about 69 as a good age to tackle one of the most physically, emotionally and mentally wearing jobs in the world anyway.

Who? Very good question and excellent point about ambition. The gauntlet to POTUS is an extreme example of its necessity.

But the world is changing rather rapidly right now. 2016 is a long way off, and Obama is not going to be a given for the 2012 nomination if the change he talks about doesn’t start to become reality in the next year. If the world dumps the dollar as its reserve currency or the war goes even farther south or the economy isn’t really rebounding at all, things are going to shake up in a hurry on the U.S. political stage.

I LOVE that idea! Wonder what Chelsea would think?

After watching her during the last election, I’m cheering for Chelsea Clinton 2016.
