Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

If Michelle has serious presidential aspirations, look for her to establish primary residence in a blue-leaning state with a Senate seat up for grabs in 2014. That's pretty much the only way it'll happen, and if it does it'll be as subtle as a brick to the head.
I think that Hillary is done, at least for a while. She is more likely to be aiming for talking head status than another run for President.

Birthers? All the people who think that he's secretly a Muslim sent by the Taliban? You've never heard of that stuff?
Obama had to cancel a trip to a Sikh temple because they would have required him to wear a symbolic head covering, and it would have made the conservatives howl.

Eh. If she runs for anything, it will be the senate.
Also, I was looking at The Othe Wiki page for the 2016 election
, and it suggested Scott Walker for a possible presidential candidate for the GOP. Excuse me while I puke in my mouth at the thought of a Walker presidency.
