One of these, the CSM one, was contributed by Bea in a thread last night and is from yesterday. The FOX News one is from August 30, but popped into my Facebook groups only today. That's how hard it is to keep up with these "Hillary Run" articles! They are like mosquitoes out there - swarming after the storm! They proliferate so abundantly, and I cannot say that I mind. Madame Secretary, you must hear this!
One thing we all know is that when HRC decided to run in 2007 she knew she was looking at working hard through 2016. She decided that she was up to it. Had she won the nomination and been elected, she would be running for a second term right now. Had she been POTUS these years, she would have been working as hard at that job as she has been as SOS. So I do not buy the "she's so tired" meme. She would have been tired anyway, and she would have been running. She has plenty left in her, and she has plenty to contribute - much more, I would argue, than anyone now on the pre-GE slates. So I say, Hillary, we are not only still here, we are organized! You really do not need to lift a pretty little finger. We will carry you in!
Here is the CSM article.
If Obama looks as if he'll lose in 2012, what about Hillary Clinton?
Approval ratings for Obama are at a historic low. Unemployment is not budging. Clinton would have to step down as secretary of State. Would it be unseemly to campaign against a president, in whose cabinet she once served? Just ask Jon Huntsman Jr.

This is a pretty dismal time for President Obama.
He campaigned on a platform to change Washington, but as he himself admitted in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, the atmosphere there is worse since he became president.
His popularity is at an all-time low. It is no surprise that many Republicans want to give him the heave-ho in 2012. He is not exactly wowing independents, and even some Democrats, especially African-Americans, are grumbling.
Here is the one from FOX News.
Hillary On the Horizon as Obama Challenger?
Published August 30, 2011

What do Lyndon B. Johnson and Barack H. Obama have in common? And where might Hillary Rodham Clinton fit into this puzzle?
Madame Secretary, we would like to be able to call you Madame President. You are the only hope this country has to retain its position of leadership in the world. We have gotten used to being the leader. We think American ingenuity and entrepreneurship cannot be beaten. We need a POTUS who believes that too! And that POTUS is YOU!
