On the week that she is due in Dublin and Belfast, one of America’s most influential journalists has declared that Hillary Clinton will run for the White House in 2016.
New Yorker magazine editor David Remnick has stated categorically that Hillary Clinton is running for president in 2016.
IrishCentral reported yesterday that Clinton is reuniting many of her Irish American backers for her visit to Dublin and Belfast this week for the first time since she became Secretary of State.
In an article in this week’s New Yorker, David Remnick, a hugely influential figure in U.S. journalism, stated boldly:
“Hillary Clinton is running for President...” Remnick said he based his evidence on “a three-day conference I attended this weekend at the annual Saban Forum, in Washington, D.C.”

The Saban Forum is an annual Israeli/US conference held alternately in Israel and the U.S and attended by senior figures in government and business, and opinion makers from both countries.
Remnick stated that the Friday night events at the conference were “surprisingly revealing. Hillary Clinton was the main speaker. In a packed ballroom of the Willard Hotel, she was greeted with a standing ovation and then a short, adoring film.... The film, an expensive-looking production, went to the trouble of collecting interviews with Israeli politicians—Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Barak, Tzipi Livni—and American colleagues, like John Kerry. Tony Blair said, “I just have an instinct that the best is yet to come.”
Remnick noted that, “The film was like an international endorsement four years in advance of the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary.” Reminick stated, “2016 was within sight. She’s running.”
Clinton is in Dublin for an international security conference and a human rights speech and on Friday will travel to Belfast and speak at the American Ireland Fund for Ireland luncheon there.

Poor "anglo-norman" can only view as "sad" those who speak simple truth. The nice thing is that seanomelb and his kind are building a future where Teabag Twits and other right wing bigots will simply be irrelevant in public discourse and a perishing minority in elections unless they start to LISTEN and intelligently respond with positive alternatives to the real world issues they insist on denying.

As NY senator Hilary did absolutely nothing for the people of NY, especially NY State which needs economic help desperately. Hilary did zero, nada, nothing and everyone who is paying attention (sans an agenda) knows it.

There's a lot of wishful thinking going on here. Yes, Hillary WOULD have made a terrific president; but Obama made an even better one. While there would be an undeniable cachet to being in history as the first woman President of the U.S. (let us face it, MY party has purged the only contenders from high office who might stand a realistic chance of winning the Presidency), her legacy now is unimpeachable and there are a lot of other equally qualified candidates for the post from the superb Vice President to the fine Governor of New York. As a Moderate Republican I could be persuaded to cross party lines again to support Hillary over a wing nut from my own party, but I'd *prefer* to support my eminently qualified, charming fellow Delawarean (and a heck of a campaigner), Joe Biden.

The teabaggers below are having a field day never have I witnessed such weeping and gnashing of teeth from so many sore losers. Their ignorance is embarrassing.

To be honest, I am super liberal and I have very little respect for Hillary Clinton. She voted for the invasion of Iraq, which was terribly inappropriate. Iraq had nothing to do with September 11th and they also didn't have any weapons of mass destruction. We have lost so many innocent people's lives due to the invasion of Iraq. Nor have we been able to improve their country in any way. President Obama did not vote for the invasion of Iraq, which is the reason I truly respect him and appreciate that we have him as president for two terms.

Hillary stated in an interview that her favorite book is 1984, by George Orwell. Her attitudes clearly reflect why. God help us if she runs. But who knows, the way Obama is going, there will probably be no Bill of Rights left by 2016, anyway.

irishbob: No President can serve more than 2 terms in office; period. Surprised you posted something like that.
PhlutiePhan | Dec 03, 2012, 12:50 PM EST
Listen to "Portia777". Actually, she knows what she is talking about. It's all about that world socialist government that is creepin' (dropped g) steadily. She may be the world socialist president. You have to think big time.

Katieherk - well said!
wjb1tex | Dec 03, 2012, 11:22 AM EST
irishbob-- Unless I am mistaken Bill has served two terms and that is all he can serve.
irishbob | Dec 03, 2012, 10:58 AM EST
Unless the VP, Speaker of the House, and President pro tempore of the Senate kick off, Hillary will not be president before 2016. Because of her Bengazi comments, she will not run in 2016 either. However, there is really nothing that says old Bill can't run again.

Some people talk through their behinds. Bippy, what constitution are you living under, and what line of succession did you learn in school?
katieherk | Dec 03, 2012, 10:17 AM EST
PLEASE, GOD, NO!!! LET'S RID OURSELVES OF THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPROMISED OUR COUNTRY... OBAMA, THE CLINTONS. DO US A FAVOR AND IF ANY OF THEM TRAVEL TO IRELAND, K.E.E.P. T.H.E.M!!!!!
BippyBellito | Dec 03, 2012, 10:08 AM EST
Obama will never allow Hillary to follow him. I agree that there will be an election before 2016 because of the crimes of the Obama administration to date (Fast & Furious, Bengazi, are the tips of a much deeper iceberg), the sophomoric explanations by the Administration's so called Experts. Obama belings in jail. It couldn't happen to a "nicer" guy.
gobdawpaddy | Dec 03, 2012, 09:34 AM EST
Hillary is a smart, articulate and pragmatic individual, I hope she does run and wins. She has the attributes necessary to be president.
gobdawpaddy | Dec 03, 2012, 09:31 AM EST
Portia777, are you predicting our government will be overthrown in the next few years??
Portia777 | Dec 03, 2012, 08:20 AM EST
She may well be President long before 2016
