| Greek Reporter : Hillary will run in 2016 (Posted on 2/12/13 at 8:29 pm)
TIFWIW...
quote:
Angelo Tsakopoulos, a close friend and top political donor to the Clintons as well as the Democratic Party, confirmed that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic candidate in the next Presidential election.
Tsakopoulos told Greek Reporter that the former Secretary of State will run for President in 2016, putting an end to speculation over whether Clinton will make a second bid for President that has been circulating around the internet and international media.
“Hillary will be our next President and she will be a great one,” Tsakopoulos said at a private gala in California this past weekend.
Asked if this was confirmed by Clinton or whether it’s his personal view, he replied, “I talk to her husband, and he confirmed it. She will run.”
Tsakopoulos’ daughter, Eleni Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis, is the U.S. Ambassador to Hungary and was sworn into office by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on January 7, 2010.
“My daughter will continue serving as an Ambassador for the next three months, and then she will return to the U.S. to help elect Hillary [as] President,” he continued.
Ambassador Eleni Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis has very close ties to the Clintons as well, and she is expected to play a major role in the “Hillary for President 2016? campaign. In the 2008 primary, Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis raised more than $1 million for Mrs. Clinton.
Hillary Clinton’s office has not responded to Greek Reporter‘s request for comment on the matter.
When asked last week at a global town hall if she was thinking of making another run for the White House, Clinton said, “I am not thinking about anything like that right now,” CNN reported.

Not sure why everyone thinks she is a shoe-in. She has a large support base, but she also has many more enemies than any other dem candidate.

Will we cancel the conventions and the election and just start working on the inaugural?

Don't know how you can confirm the result. She might be definite on running, but even that could change between now and then.

Exactly. I think we've had only one recent president who was elected around that age: Reagan's re-election.
She better disappear for a year to have extensive plastic surgery. No one, but the core D base will be voting death warmed over for president in her current state.

I remember the last time she was the next president. Got taken out by a guy who was never in charge of anything.

How much botox will it take her to not look like Madilene Albright in four years?

Might as well; the MSM already has or soon will.
