Well there has been a slightly more important US politics story for the media to cover of late snoopcester Send a noteboard - 07/11/2012 10:18:28 PM
But as you note, it might not be a bad thing... yeah, would be essentially impossible to campaign while being Secretary of State. Which is making me wonder what it says about the office of President that that one CAN be combined with campaigning... :P


After I posted it did occur to me that the reason she wasn't at the Democrat convention is that only the President and Vice President in the executive branch are allowed to get involved in partisan politics (or at least that was the reason I saw given)
And the President would usually expect not to have to fight a primary campaign before the actual election campaign. So it is slightly different... but still, I can't imagine Obama has got much actual Presidenting done over the last few months:P

Good points all. Somehow I don't really think they'll take them to heart any time soon, though... - 07/11/2012 08:00:56 PM 825 Views

Snowe? Seriously? Chris Christie is far more likely. - 07/11/2012 09:52:25 PM 727 Views
Chris Christie *was* far more likely. I expect his party to eat him alive after Sandy. - 07/11/2012 09:59:17 PM 893 Views
Yes, but Christie gained the respect of a lot of moderates for that. - 07/11/2012 10:20:08 PM 733 Views
Moderates don't vote in the primaries *NM* - 07/11/2012 10:21:50 PM 406 Views
Enough of them vote to ensure a Christie victory in a GOP primary. - 08/11/2012 05:09:24 AM 708 Views
