OccObs 2012 wishlist

Is it just me, or is it possible that Hillary might challenge Obama for the Dem nomination, should O's approval rating be in the low 40s by mid '11?

How sweet would that be?

Nothing screams weakness like a sitting President getting a strong challenge from his own party.

Last few examples that come to mind: Bush 41 (Buchanan) in '92; Carter (Kennedy) in '80; LBJ (McCarthy) in '68. All three incumbents failed to get reelected, with LBJ opting out of running.

I have a feeling part of the deal to make Hill Sec. of State was that should would not. Not that such an agreement would stop her, but it makes it slightly less likely.
