The Red County blog has been all excited about Newt Gingrich running for President, but do the voters care for refurbished Newt? I don’t think so.
However, another seasoned politician just might be in a good spot to take over for a reeling President Barack Obama in 2012.
“A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 57% of voters feel Clinton is qualified to be president, but 34% disagree and say she is not. As for President Obama, 51% say he is fit for the job. However, 44% say he is not qualified to be president, even though he has now served 17 months in the job,” according to the U.S. News and World Report.
Here’s how Ron Smith, a columnist at the Baltimore Sun, broke it down:
Both she and President Obama are thought to be more qualified for the job than three Republicans who have expressed interest in it. Ms. Clinton, according to this poll, is thought to be qualified by 57 percent of the voter respondents, while 34 percent say she is not. As for the president, 51 percent think him qualified for the job he has held for the last year and a half, while 44 percent disagree.
Republican Mitt Romney is close behind with 49 percent saying the former Massachusetts governor is qualified and 32 percent thinking not. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin trail far behind.
There you go. Newt is trailing far behind – in Palin territory no less.
Clinton in 2012? You bet. Obama simply is failing on too many fronts to be viable in 2012. And I expect his party to get destroyed in the upcoming mid-term elections.
What about former President Bill Clinton? Well, he has now become the biggest draw in his party. He is busy trying to help elect other Democrats. No one wants Obama to visit them, but everyone is clamoring for Bill. What an amazing turn of events…
So…one incompetent socialist for another.
Kurcheon,
FYI, I will be voting for the Libertarian candidate, but that aside I think Hillary is less liberal than Obama.
no more clintons , no more dems . they are going to get their ass handed to them in nov.. they will lose both house and senate. and the blunder in chief that we have wont have the 18 yr olds uninformed voters to hand him a 2nd term .
No more Progressives! Out with them All! The gig is up, we all know now the Democratic Party = Progressives. You are in a dream world, if you think Clinton can win. She said she considers herself an Early Progressive. Ugh, Woodrow Wilson, FDR come to mind. Not a chance.
Hey Saturn, take a break from Glenn Beck!
HILLARY 2012! She’s the smartest woman in the world and the best politician ever! We’ve got your back Hillary!
Laura.
Why didn’t America have her back in 2008?
I think I know the answer.
2010 is the “year of the women,” not 2008.
Larry,
I had her back in 2008. She was my choice to get the nomination and I still think that she was the better choice then and now. If John Edwards had come clean about his “cheating” earlier on Hillary would have won Iowa and the momentum from that victory would have got her rolling to the nomination.
However Edwards staying in the race cost her victory in Iowa and helped Obama gain traction and his campaign gained the momentum.
Sean. I would venture a guess that well over 50 percent of Democrats, if given a chance for a do over, would vote for Hillary over president Obama. I’m being kind. It’s more like 75%.
In fact one of us should put up a poll with that very question.
Sean is exactly right. While some dispute the numbers, Iowa being a caucus state would have closely (but clearly) chosen Hillary. This would have steam rolled into NH which she took and really set up the show down down south.
Further, her allegience to Ben Nelson, the right leaning democrat from Nebraska would have swayed many in Iowa.
I have been complaining about this for years and have wondered if there was’nt more to Edwards lie than just covering up a marrige gone south.
SHE’S DONE is my guess. Four years of flying around the world kicks your ass, especially at her age.

the great one.
70 days ago I would not have bought into some of the talking heads forecasts of a GOP takeover in the House and possibly the Senate. However, as we are unable to plug the darn hole, and prez continues to show his inability to respond with leadership under fire, my assessment is changing.
