Chris Matthews to Hillary on 2016: Oh, we’ll get you in there
…Monday, Hardball’s Chris Matthews offered his services to Hillary Clinton – along with those of MSNBC contributors Howard Fineman and Joan Walsh – in order to get her elected president in 2016…
At the end of a lengthy discussion about Clinton’s chances in 2016 – never mind that Election Day is 44 months away! – Walsh said, “I think if she runs again, she really can’t run as that front-runner. It cannot be that inevitability campaign that she ran in 2007, and she knows that. She’s got to be about the future.”
Matthews replied, “If you’re watching, Madam Secretary, all three of us have brilliant ideas. All of us have great ideas. And I especially put myself in that group with Joan and David. We know how to do this, we’ll get you in there.”

Arrogant but who cares. I can see Hannity saying the same thing.

So when the Savior wins does Tingles curl up in a little ball and disappear into thin air?

The fun thing, 34 months from now, will be to see where MSNBC’s heart lies if it’s in Hillary’s interest to distance herself somewhat from Obama and his second term.
Matthews & Co. are assuming right now if they’re cheerleading Mrs. Clinton by the end of 2007, they’ll be doing it as part of a surrogate Obama third term effort, but with Joe Biden possibly in the mix (along with Andrew Cuomo and Martin O’Malley), Walsh may be righter than she thinks that Hillary will be running not just about the future, but also on a platform of “change”.

I guess Sweet Chrissy didn’t get the memo – Michelle Obama will be the 2016 democrat nominee – it has already been decided.

You spelled ‘Barack’ wrong.

Can’t argue with that.
