Apropos of my post about Hillary Clinton getting in bed with Dick Scaife, MoJo Dowd, in a column of hers that actually says something sensical, wonders if Clinton’s increasingly scorched-earth strategy isn’t setting up a 2012 run.
It makes purely analytical sense, and I’m sure makes sense to her too.
Ding Obama badly enough he loses in November. Claim again that this proves your electability.
Look at McCain either voluntarily serve just one term, as he has hinted he might, or see him get hit by more economic problems and become viable.
Step into the breech in 2012.
Problem with that is, as I already noted a few days ago in my Quo Vadis Hillary post, that assumes that 2012 Democrats will buy her electability argument rather than hold old memories about how she torpedoed Obama.
So, even if Hillary is thinking in terms of a four-year strategy now, that doesn’t mean it will be a successful four-year strategy.
