Here Comes Hillary!

Uh oh, here comes Hillary Clinton! Dana Milbank wrote in the Washington Post today that Hillary is now more popular than President Obama. No surprise there. Hillary has not been in front of the cameras much during this Gulf Oil spill debacle. Obama has been taking a bit of a beating in the press over the issue. While his approval ratings have been in decline since Day 1 of his presidency, Hillary's have stayed the same.

The mid-term elections in November will go a long way toward determining whether Obama will face a strong primary challenge from any Democrat. If there is one that can actually defeat a presidential incumbent, it would be Hillary Clinton. However, the feat will be extremely difficult to pull off. I am no presidential historian, but I would venture to guess that it has been extremely rare for an incumbent president to lose in a primary. It never occurred in the 20th century.

You can bet that if the Republicans re-take the House and Senate, that there will be major fall-out. I doubt both will occur. If they do re-take the House, which seems to be a bit more plausible, and come close in the Senate, there will be many in this administration that leave. If Hillary Clinton resigns as Secretary of State, you can bet that she will be thinking about another run for president.
