If Clinton wins the nomintation and does not win the presidency then she would not typically be a consideration in 2012. Why would the Democrats put up a loser a second time to go against McCain (the theoretical winner) who would be running as an incumbant. And if Obama wins the presidency in November then he would be the incumbant in 2012 and the likely Democratic nominee.
So does Clinton believe she will not get the nomination and that the Democrats will lose in November????? Would she intentionally work to prevent Obama from winning in November so that she would have another shot at the presidency in 2012?

I agree with you entirely on this one. I don't think Hillary is really thinking that far ahead. Is she tearing down Obama because she knows she can't lift her self up to seem more appealing? You can argue that, but I find this theory of 2012 a little hard to believe.
