Proposition: I don't think she is likely to run or win if she does.
Not run: I think there are several factors at work: she is totally dependent on her husband when times get tough and from looking at him lately, I don't know he will be around in two years. She will be 69 years old when she takes the oath if she wins. That is old, real old. I am a month older than her and nobody our age should be president. The brain atrophies and she is already showing signs of it. Remember Reagan?
Her health is not good. She has had a few scares herself in the last year or two. The stress associated with aging is not easily understood by younger people but is a fact and she has never been good at handling stress. Read any good account of the 2008 campaign and you will see she pretty much fell apart after her inevitability evaporated.
Another factor: she blew a big lead last time because she is a cruddy candidate. Watch one of her performances and then read a transcript. She is so cautious about messing up that she says nothing, which is useful when preaching to your flock but worthless and counter productive when talking to people you need to convert.
A dark horse, even one with little to say, like Obama was last time, can give her a hard time.
Scandals: she is so in bed with Wall Street and other givers of vast amounts of campaign funds that there have got to be some out there and Gotcha is journalism's golden fleece now. Perry and Abbott would be in deep as a result of the scandal associated with the discretionary funding pool if we did not have such a supine press in Texas. That is not the case nationally.
Her best bet is if nobody in the party runs and the GOP nominates one of its many insane would be presidents.
