<p>The governor’s election is in 2010. She doesn’t have to run for the Senate again until 2012.</p>
<p>Sure, what a wonderful idea.</p>
<p>You bet. Keep her up there.</p>
<p>Absolutely a natural choice, especially if Obama doesn’t choose her as VP and he wins the Presidency. If McCain wins then Hillary might wait it out and run for President in 2012.</p>
<p>I think it would be a good idea, but don’t know if she’d want it. We need a serious butt-kicker in Albany.</p>
<p>Maybe Rudy Giuliani?</p>
<p>Depends on if the current gov. decides to run. If so, I seriously doubt that she would want to challenge yet another African American and be labeled a racist again.</p>
<p>Oh puh…leeeze. Nobody has labeled her a racist. </p>
<p>What her operatives were accused of during the primary was ‘playing the race card’. A little playing of the race card doesn’t make you racist. Just a politician.</p>
<p>No, just no. Please no. She will get no support from any of the young who think she’s pathetic for not being graceful when she clearly lost, who read Vanity Fair and wonder why a supposedly strong woman is still “with” Bill, who think she is a shrill, entitled hypocrite.</p>
<p>P.S. Does anyone really think Obama might choose her? He’d totally lose so many of us if he does.</p>
<p>If the alternative is to have that wretched nep, David Patterson, remain in the Governor’s office, then I will put a Hillary sign on my front lawn. Please spare us all. Bad enough we have Sheldon Silver, shouldn’t we at least have a governor able to stand up to him.</p>
<p>No more Clintons. PLEASE!!! If Hillary needs a power fix I’d much rather see her run for Governor of Arkansas. Of course, the people of Arkansas didn’t want her eight years ago when they had their chance. That’s why she picked on us New Yorkers.</p>
<p>She has no reason to become governor, as she is a senator and in a very good position to run in 4 years, assuming McCain wins, which it appears he will if he can shore up his campaign. The election is his to lose now, and she will be there waiting to run again.</p>
<p>Being Governor of New York would add executive experience to her resume.</p>
<p>Is it possible that Hillary and Rudy could both run for Governor of NY ?</p>
<p>That would be an interesting match up. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Richard Nixon ran for Governor in California after losing to Kennedy in the ultra-tight 1960 election. Do you remember what happened? No guarantee that Clinton could win – and she would end up looking like Nixon did after losing to Pat Brown. I don’t know if she has enough years left to do the political rehab that Nixon did from 1962 to 1968.</p>
<p>“I don’t know if she has enough years left to do the political rehab that Nixon did from 1962 to 1968.”</p>
<p>That kind of rehab is so rare – almost to the point of being unique – that it would be a long bet even if she were 45.</p>
<p>If Clinton were to lose for Governor she would remain Senator. </p>
<p>The fact that she was reelected in 2006 with nearly 70% of the vote suggests that she would have a good chance to win the governorship should she desire that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Would the experience magically hit the 50 years’s mark by 2012. Aren’t the years of experience for Clinton counted in dog years? :D</p>
<p>She’s been a very good Senator, and I have no doubt that she’d be an excellent Governor. I’m not sure that she’d be interested, though.</p>
<p>I think she’d make a swell NY Governor. Or Attorney General in an Obama administration.</p>
