I agree. I think an Obama loss would be almost ideal for Clinton in 2016. If Obama wins reelection, she might not want to risk putting her name/brand/legacy on the line to help the Democrats hold on to what would be an unlikely third term. But if he loses, and the Reps take control for four years, she is perfectly set up to lead the party in 2016. And make no mistake, she would be more formidable than she was before, what with having 4 years of Sec of State under her belt.
On the other hand, Nixon in 60, Bush Sr. in 88 and Gore in 2000 do not suggest winning after Obama is term-limited would be that hard for her.
I agree with this. So I'll stand by what I said
