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.

She should reconsider. It would be awesome if we followed the first Black president with the first Woman president.

Especially when we already have a back stabber running the country---ole Bush done us all in!

[creeper00]

Spin, spin, spin.

Clinton did NOT say she wouldn''t run again. She said the chances were "close to zero".

Does CBS even have editors any more? Or are THEY the ones responsible for cr@p like this?

[maxdadmark]

To OneAmerican7, et al. We''re going to need a Secretary of Psychotherapy to help you all GET OVER IT. Blaming others for your own shortcomings and having an over-developed sense of entitlement is so pathologic. Take responsibility and do what you can to accept what you are. Then join the rest of the healthy adults and look forward to where we are going and what we can accomplish as a country.

[creeper00]

OneAmerican7,

I have news for you. This Clinton supporter re-registered Independent after that sham of a Democratic convention.

I''d sooner die than vote for Barack Obama. I have a feeling his supporters would like to help me with that fatal alternative.

Experience? Leadership? Intelligence? Energy? The Democratic party had them all in Hillary Clinton. Their coronation of Barack Obama will go down in history as one the crookedest act of a massively corrupt party.

Don''t think so? I saw the ringer they brought in to "help" with our caucus here myself. If Barack Obama is elected you can kiss your civil rights good-bye. See FISA.

With her hips, I`m amazed she can walk.

Best news I''ve heard in a long time! This country has had enough of the Clintons! Goodbye!

Hillary got over it, but obviously not you! You think McCain is going to protect our civil rights? Hillary lost, she didn''t run a good campaign! Get OVER IT! Obama was NOT coronated, he WON .. that''s what primaries are for! If Hillary won, I''d be voting for her, but she didn''t so I''m voting for Obama! Get over your anger issues and do the right thing!

[destardi]

The joke''s on uhbamabushbots.

Watch this:

Hillary is evil! She''s a *unt! She lied lied lied about being shot at! Her moratorium on foreclosures is ridiculous! She voteeeeed for the IR!!!
------------

After uhbama used ACORN to rig the caucuses in the FIRST half of the election, and Hillary won all major primaries at the END of the elections:

Hillary HAAAAAS to help Teh One! If he loses it''s ALLLLL her fault! Hillary NEEDS to help uhbama! Sarah is no Hillary Clinton! Forget Joe Biden voted for the IR! Forget Joe Biden lied and said he was shot at also!

I''m a HillaryDem, and I voted against the racebaiting loser Sept 30th in Ohio...I voted for McCain.

And I liked it.

[specialty8]

I am not a Clinton supporter but Obama did put one over on her during the primaries. If he gets elected just wait and see what he will put over on the tax payer. All these wonderful things he is promising has to be paid for and it won''t be by big oil and rich people,they have already invested to much in his election for that to happen,he did not get all of that money from the average Joe.Wonder where it did come from,the girl scouts cookie sales?

+ report abuse

"he won" even though he used ACORN to cheat.

Suuure. Suddenly now I see why Wexler had no idea what "fair reflection" is, when he mocked Hillary''s surrogate at the RBC.

Dems rage on and on about ''voter rights'' but turn the other cheek when they''re the ones doing the cheating.

NO MORE! Scales are off my eyes, and I go Independent from here on out. Dems lost all moral credibility with the retro-FISA vote, the *** Cheney energy bill, funds for faithbased charity, the bridge to nowhere, and uhbama''s stealing of Hillary''s plan on combating foreclosures after he f*cking mocked it during the Primary.

He HAS NO IDEAS OF HIS OWN.

[ibzjem]

Man, lots of Clinton cry-babies on here.

Remember, Garth Brooks and Ozzy Osbourne, and Bret Favre have retired.

[cattiej]

Thank You, Hillary Clinton for all the time you have spent trying to tell the American citizens that you would be a good President for them. I think you would have too, and we would have voted for you. We were amazed at the Democratic convention, such unhanded doings by the Obama supporters. Now is Obama is elected we will have four more years of turmoil. It is all too much for us. We are in our late 70''s and this grandmother and grandfather have had enough of politicans, lobbyists, 110th corrupt Congress, and all the powers that be in these big American companies. All the thousands of American jobs that have been lost (159,000 just in September) does not bode well for our country.It doesn''t help that illegal aliens are taking our jobs and outsourcing of customer service to the Phillipines, Mexico, and India We don''t have any leaders that we can trust anymore. This is just the beginning of the slippery slope down to another Depression era.

TUCKER, IF YOU ARE READING THIS...S T O P!!! Close your eyes and move on.:)



Running for president again?

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


Boo hoo. I love Hillary! When the time comes she needs to re-plant herself.

[rdepontb]

Sen Clinton is one of the most distinguished Americans ever to seek the White House. It is unfortunate she is not interested in the Supreme Court, and I pray she changes her mind. In the meantime, we just may move to the great state of New York so that we can enjoy more directly the benefits of having her represent us as a U.S. Senator.

[kesac4650]

She will say just about anything.

[darrren12000]

CLINTON DID NOT SAY SHE WON''T RUN AGAIN!!! She said "PROBABLY zero." Don''t you know what leaving yourself room to change your mind means? Besides, it would not look good if she said she would run again during the campaign for this election. YOu people are absolute morons. ....By you people, I mean the BA in Journalism degree holders who didn''t learn any critical thinking in college....

[renojmc]

She won''t run again? Man, with hips like that I''m surprised she can even walk...

[Redoubt]

It''s a shame because women need someone running for president that they can identify with. Men have ruled the world for thousands of years... and made a mess of a lot of it.

[silverstar06]

What''s interesting is that it seems that women don''t like Hillary or Palin! What is it that they want then?? Maybe just because really only 2 options have presented themselves (Hillary, Palin), criticism is ruthlessly concentrated, opposed to almost exclusively male politicians, where gender is automatically included in their profession and therefore attacks or then ''critcism'' far milder and not made personal.

[legacyabq]

Wow
wow look at Hillary in that photo, she''s not wearing an makeup, and man she look different.
I like it!
She looks real! and dignified!
I sure wish women would accept themselves and stop wearing so much *** makeup..
Women of the world: a lot of us (not all of course) guys think you are BEAUTIFUL without makeup, OK?
Women o'' the world, yer beautiful, just how you are!!

[Redoubt]

Oh yes, a lot of guys dislike both Hillary and Palin for the same reason. There is undoubtedly a good measure of estrogen-envy in politics. So much in fact that gender alone is enough to dictate what is and is not to like, lol!

[scottyusa]

You cannot blame her. The party unceremoniously tossed her to tiptoe through the tulips with Obama. The amazing thing is she is stuping low enough to campaign for him as if she owed the party anything. We all know that Bill and Hillary are not really Obama fans so why think that we will not see through the smoke? She should have pulled a Leiberman and went independent.

[yongamerica]

Clinton''s angry and venomous words she slung at Obama will keep her in the political dog house for years.

[beader59]

I am so glad so many of you concentrate on immature and dumb *** when discussing political issues and candidates. Who cares if she looks tired; who cares if she doesn''t wear dresses'' who cares if you don''t like the way she wears her hair. Please don''t. we don''t need your political savvy. Hillary would have been a much better President than Obama and McCain combined. But too many of you concentrate on the garbage that doesn''t matter. How ignorance often wins when intellect and just common sense whould prevail.

[silverstar06]

Well sorry bro- I was too busy e.jaculating into a kleenex to notice that.

Hillary was outflanked by Obama and ACORN. Although she might have been a better president than Obama or McCain, she did not win the primaries. She did not win because the Democratic leadership, for the most part, failed to support her. They chose Obama instead.

[rhs648]

Politicians rarely commit themselves to run for office until they have tested the waters. Hillary will probablr have a change of heart if she feels that she can win.

[norepubs]

........Sounds like a *perfect* description of McCain to me.......

She looks like the walking, breathing corpse that she has been for at least the last 20 years. The Night of the Living Dead.

I sure hope that''s a promise. But again, Tricky *** told us in 1962 that we won''t have *** Nixon to kick around anymore, and that was a promise he didn''t keep and we all ended up paying for it in the future.

[standlee5]

Ahh, Hil, say it ain''t so. Give it a shot in ''12 ''16

[shyam8]

Sad, very sad. She is highly qualified to be the first female President. Entire U. S. media particularly SNL mercilessly attacked her until she fell. It was almost like they were trying to find out how much abuse it will take to break her down in a Taliban short of way. And they succeeded.

[shyam8]

Democratic leadership supports women when they need an abortion and only when they need an abortion, even the women in the leadership. And Hillary was not asking for one.

[jbright9]

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

[vitterdidder]

I wouldn''t touch that nasty woman with a 10 foot pole.

[hpolitician]

well...she shouldn''t bother...Unless she wants to wait 8 years of an Obama presidency -

THE DEMOCRATS LEADERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BACKING HER INSTEAD OF obama.....
EVEN THOUGH SHE MAY BE A LITTLE CROOKED SHE SURE DID NOT HAVE AN TIES TO TERRORIST....

[hbevis]

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.

[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...

[robert2237]

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.

[ddaymichael]

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.

---"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 . . .

[samthetvcat]

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