Clinton Says She Won't Run Again

Former Presidential Candidate Says Is Not Seeking Any Position Other Than Serving New York In The Senate

(AP)  Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton puts the chances of her running for president again at near zero - slightly higher than the chances she gives for becoming Senate majority leader or a Supreme Court justice.

In an interview aired Tuesday on "Fox & Friends" on the Fox News Channel, Clinton, D-N.Y., was asked the chances, on a scale of 1 to 10, that she would be the next majority leader in the Senate.

"Oh, probably zero," she said. "I'm not seeking any other position than to be the best senator from New York that I can be."

Being nominated to the Supreme Court?

"Zero," Clinton said. "I have no interest in doing that."

Running for president again?

"Probably close to zero," she said. "There's an old saying: Bloom where you're planted."

The former first lady, who was elected to the Senate in 2000 and re-elected in 2006, said she looked forward to working as a senator with a Barack Obama administration.

Let''''s see... a larger percentage of voters are women but it is a mans fault a loser cannot get elected. YOu must be a frustrated female, mad at the world and men in general. Posted by guysdigdirt

Next you''ll tell me that women run this country. Get your head out of the sand and grow a set.

I became an Obama volunteer in OH mainly because Palin scares the *** out of me,

Funny Paliln scares the **** out of you, probably due to the inexperience but you will vote for someone with little more experience who has no background of action to back up anything he says, will not let us see what he was doing or pushing in his college years and has a questionable background in many differnt ways.

You are all messed up richard.

It will take men stepping down off their self-constructed, elevated platforms and growing a set of ba!!s.

Well that''''s one lying corrupt democrat down. Now if Obama would just pledge to take his politically corrupt, lying self back to Chicago where his BS goes unnoticed, and promise to never run for president again, the country would be in good shape. But no he continues to blurt out promises to his voters about changing the Washington political establishment he has been a big part of for his whole three years in office. Bush has pretty much been rendered useless for the rest of his term, but to elect Obama to lead this nation when he couldn''''t even lead a troop of boy scouts, is far more dangerous than anything Bush did in the last 8 years.

Agreed....Obama would be a joke as presidency. His time as president will just be spent paying back all the people that put him in this position. And he won''t have anytime to help us Americans.

[grizzster]

Obama wins and runs again as the incumbent in 2012...that means it''s 2016 before she can make a serious bid once again. A McCain presidency would have given her another shot four years from now. But eight years? The whole world can...and will...be changed by then, and how old would she be in 2016?

Intersting how she waited to see which way the wind was blowing before she made her announcement...and the wind is blowing Obama''s way (double-digit lead) so she is facing reality now.

I became an Obama volunteer in OH mainly because Palin scares the *** out of me, but if Hillary had won the nod, Sarah would still be an unknown and this campaign would still be a horse race. And I''d be sitting this one out and writing in Mickey (as in Mouse)...or Harry (as in Truman) on Nov. 4

YEA! Great news--GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!

[txgrouch2007]

This side of her -- articulate, straightforward and lacking self-promotion, is a side that I haven''''t seen.

The fact that you DIDN''T see it during the campaign is WHY SHE LOST.

Now she''s doing a Al Gore - attempt to appear moderate so people will think it "safe" to vote for her next time.

NOPE! SORRY! NOT BUYING IT!!!

And much as I''d like to believe it - we KNOW she''s LYING when she says she won''t run again. That''s just the wolf in sheep''s clothing.

WE KNOW SHE''S LYING.

As a lifelong Democrat (and a woman), I have NEVER liked Hillary Clinton -- until this interview. If Hillary had spoken this way during the campaign, she would have been President. This side of her -- articulate, straightforward and lacking self-promotion, is a side that I haven''t seen. And I like it.

PS So many States haven''t even ever had a female Governor - California, New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Illinois, etc . . .

---"Clinton Says She Won''t Run Again"---

I wonder what it''s going to take for a woman to ever be elected President . . . people praise Hillary for getting 18 million votes, but many were the same people who in the midst of the primaries were asking what she had ever done to make her qualified to be President except get stay with her husband after he got caught getting a bj.

If a woman is ''just'' a Governor, people are going to say she''s not qualified to be Commander in Chief of the military because she''s got no experience in foreign policy.

Maybe it''ll have to be a Governor of a big state there by her own steam, two-term, Iraq war veteran, IQ above 150, charismatic, running against a REALLY unpopular President? That''s going to take another 30 or 40 years . . .

It still makes me mad that Barack didn''t think about that when picking his VP - I voted for him in the Primaries over Hillary thinking he was thoughtful in that way . . .

Too bad!

I will vote for Obama without much enthusiasm as Hillary was my candidate, but Obama is the candidate who isn%u2019t McCain although I can%u2019t imagine any circumstances where I would vote for any Republican.

I would have loved to see Hillary debating the intellectually challenged space cadet Sarah Palin, although that might have backfired on the Democrats as she would surly have appeared as a grownup bullying a retarded child. because she was incapable of answer the simplest questions.

If Hillary was the Democratic candidate, I certain she would have already gathered a team of economic experts to deal with the present crisis%u2026and I don%u2019t mean the present Republican %u2018experts%u2019 who got us into this mess with their greed and ineptitude in the first place.

hbevis- You are completely right. Hillary would make sure the US was protected from outside and inside. Obama I am afraid that he has views that are so far left that he will try to turn us into a China or Cuba. Lets hope Hillary and the other dems. and reps. keep a close eye on what he wants, you can''t expect the speaker of the house or senate to do anything but go along with what ever he wants since their views are the same. So we got a few we can trust but not many on either side.

[pollroller1]

If obama wins the election someone will try to take him out. I sure hope that does not happen but we have a lot of crazy people out there.

Don''t be too sure about that.

[txgrouch2007]

She said she wouldn''''t run the first time, either.

Don''t spoil the moment. OK?

[txgrouch2007]

Hillary is a great American. I know she will serve her country well in whatever capacity she chooses. I wish her only the best.

No, that was her husband. But who''s counting?

[txgrouch2007]

"There''s an old saying: Bloom where you''re planted."

Yes, they say that - ABOUT WEEDS.

Hillary has compared herself to a weed.

Time to weed the garden...
