Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) -Could make an insurgent run against Obama in 2012 if he does a horrible job, but I don't see that happening. Her time has passed.

Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) -Could be a sacrifice candidate in 2012 (She's too stupid/ambitious to realize she's being sacrificed)

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D-KS) -She'll be 68 by 2016... it's not happening.

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) -Again, possible sacrifice candidate in 2012 (Not stupid, it would just be her only chance)

Gov. Janet Napolitano (D-AZ) -Gay rumors kill this one.

Sec. Condoleezza Rice (R) -I heard tell of her running for Governor of California in 2010, but that seems unlikely. If she does run, win, and does a good job, she could run in 2016. Very unlikely though

Rep. Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin (D-SD) -She's got until 2036 or so... who knows?

Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) -I'd vote for her, but most Republicans wouldn't.

Gov. Bev Perdue (D-NC) -It's possible.

Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AK) -Possible

Sen. Claire McKaskill (D-MO) -Don't see it... don't really have a reason, just don't see it.

Atty Gen. Lisa Madigan (D-IL) -We'll see what happens in the next two years.

Carly Fiorina/Meg Whitman (R) -Nope.

Chelsea Clinton (D) -The Clinton name seems to be a bit of a liability these days, but you never know.

I think you're all missing an obvious one.  Michelle Obama.  If her husband's successful, she's the next Hillary.  I don't know what her ambitions are regarding public office, but who does?

I think her negatives make Hillary look like Betsy Ross.

Examples? 



Many of her comments on the campaign trail, including, but not limited to, the "first time in my adult life" line, have come off as snobbish, condescending, and occasionally outright disdainful to the American public.

Her thesis, while not necessarily a negative in it's own right, hurts the "post-racial" image she attempts to portray.

Okay, so perhaps my statement was a bit heavy-handed, but I maintain she does have definite negatives she would have to overcome before considering a run for office herself.

She's obviously smart and driven... I don't know, we just have to wait and see if she wants it.
