That no matter who wins in 2008, the 2012 Presidential Race will begin on Wednesday, November 5, 2008, the day after the elections?

That's a subjective definition.  Define the begin of a Presidential race and I'd have more to say.

When the "buzz" starts swirling around it, when potential candidates names are starting to get mentioned, when the candidates themselves start thinking about it, when the media starts getting head over heels about it, just the general first signs of a presidential race starting to break out.

I'd say that's already happened.

when the media starts getting head over heels about it

Other than maybe a few focus pieces during the times heading up to the election, I imagine that it won't be the very next day.

Long before then. Tongue

Actually, I guess you could say it began on Election Day 1980 when her husband Bill was elected governor of Arkansas.  A 28-year long Presidential Campaign that is not a guarantee to end in the White House.

Why start there; why not say that it began on October 26, 1947 when Hillary was born? Tongue

Or even January 26, given that it's obvious she would have been plotting her ascension to the throne right from conception.

You think she'd leave that to chance? So naive and yet so charming...when did her parents meet and more importantly, who set them up?

So, could it be that Clinton was campaigning for the presidency BEFORE the office even existed?
