I wonder if Skinny_Vinny did himself harm? He hasn't posted since the day before the election. I wonder why?

I'm thinking 2016 Both parities (especially GOP) will HAVE to have a woman (or minority) somewhere on the ticket. That IS the time we are in IMHO.  I heard Condoleeza Rice's name floating around but I think anyone from or related to the Bush administration needs to stay the hell away. IMHO it's political suicide (and that includes Jeb Bush even tho he's not a dumb as his brother). TIS

I'm thinking 2016 Both parities (especially GOP) will HAVE to have a woman (or minority) somewhere on the ticket. That IS the time we are in IMHO. I think the Dems can win without a minority, but not the Republicans. The problem for the Republicans is that to get the nomination they seem to run all the way right (where there aren't many minorites). They can only win the general election with a minority, but they can't get the nomination without a couple of white guys (or in Palin's case a gal). It's a catch-22 for them. My wife (who is independent, liberal, very strong, and runs two very successful businesses of her own) laments to me that we're no closer to a female President than we were four years ago. She says that Hillary is the best of the best and she's unelectable.

Plus, she'll get an even greater percentage of women than Obama did. I'm not so sure of this. Women don't stand up for women. We kind of shoot each other down. In case of Hillary, some hate her for wearing pants and some hate her for not leaving Bill and some hate her, because they can't be her.

As much as I think Hillary has been a great Secretary of State, and would make a good President AND has a huge following, I think there are also many (AND I'm guessing mostly men) that hate her. I remember all the name calling even here on the BB in the past (ie Bitch and the like). Unless her time now as SOS has changed people's opinions. Anyway, I think that is the downside for her.  TIS While I agree there is a percentage of men that hate her, I doubt it's as great as the percentage of men that Obama. Plus, she'll get an even greater percentage of women than Obama did. Unless Obama has a Bush-like 2nd term, I can't see her losing an election no matter who the GOP throws at her. I hope you're right. Btw, can you imagine how happy Bill would be to be back in the White House?  The First Man??? How weird is that? TIS

I'm not crazy about Kirsten Gillibrand. I felt like Schumer helped her bully her way into the Senate. But ask me again in four years . ..And not after the Giants get crushed.  Maybe the Jets will lose again. Salvage the day .
