Yeah, Yeah
Sure. She’s just your average retired woman. She’s not running for anything.

(Go, Hillary!)
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
I left this comment: “Secretary Clinton: As you ponder the richness of life’s options, please consider investing some time in Texas. The DNC and our Democratic Executive Committe have finally realized that we can turn Texas. Those of us who have been in the trenches — literally by precinct and county — have been ignored by the Party for way too long. There is a populace here ready for change and now is the time. Please do not write us off to The Other Side. An investment in Texas will pay dividends beyond your expectations. Y’all come on down anytime.”
1She’s awesome and awe-inspiring.
2MY candidate.
3Upstairs ~ Love your msg to SOS Clinton! If she can help Dems can turn that state, more power to her & all of you Texas Dems. Go get ’em, cowboy/girl!!
Hugs ~ Moms
PS: And if you succeed, come on over to Georgia!
4Yes. Let’s do this. I’m in.
5I can see her doing something for women’s rights globally. I don’t think she’s interested in reentering politics. If she did, I think all that stuff that was thrown at her and Bill would come barreling back.
6Wonderful picture of Hillary. Whatever she’s after, I’m probably on her side.

8Amen to Upstairs.
I’d love to see her run again, but how often has a “front-runner” at this stage been the eventual nominee?
In the 2008 primary I had to choose between the first woman with a serious chance to win and the first black candidate with a serious chance to win. I voted for Obama because the polls said he was more likely to beat McCain, but I wished (being of the female persuasion myself) that it had gone the other way.
9I just hope she doesn’t repeat history by hiring that putz, Mark Penn. You know–the guy who thought the caucus states were unimportant. I still can’t wrap my mind around how she thought this was a good strategy. It’s not like she didn’t have enough campaign experience with Bill.

My wife and I split our vote, it being fairly certain that the Democrat was going to take NY. Either of us was happy with either of them.
Do hope she runs in 2016. On the down side she is only 4 weeks younger than I am, and I think I’m too old for that job, not that I want it.
11Rhea, Nixon did it and he’s not near as photogenic as Hillary Clinton.
In 2008, I didn’t yet have the respect for Hillary Clinton that I do now. I was carrying a lot of old mental baggage. I think that will be the case for a lot of people, not just women.
If she gets it, she will not only be the first woman President, but the first spouse of a former President to take office. We’ve had cousins and direct descendents (http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0878156.html), but this will be new.
12In the 2008 Democratic primaries, Republicans hatched a plan to ensure they would win the election. Republican voters were urged to register as Democrats for the primaries and vote for Obama and then re-register as Republicans for the election. They thought that Hillary might have a chance of winning, but Obama couldn’t possibly win becasue he was black. My boss, an insufferable Republican told me about this the day of the primary in my state, laughing his head off. When Obama got the nomination the Repugs were absolutely ecstatic. Poor boys, they had to eat their hats when that amazing black Democrat won it all. Now they’re trying to change the way the electoral votes are awarded and make it much harder for a Democrat to win.
