That seems to be how this thing is going to develop.
Private citizen Hillary is just going about her private business, helping establish the pantsuit as cultural icon and just chilling. The rebranding thing is really hard work.
All the while, hapless fall-guy John Kerry travels the Globe trying to clean up the mess Hillary left behind. The Butler did it!
Meanwhile, Hillary’s “independent” surrogates and groupies are laying the foundation for the People to rise up and DEMAND that Hillary run:

Via Rick Klein, Pro-Hillary Clinton Efforts Whir to Life with Iowa Campaigning:
Friday morning, as Washington slumbers through recess and public attention even in Iowa is far from presidential politics, a group of Democratic activists and office-holders will gather in Des Moines to discuss a topic very much on their minds – and now on their agenda: “Madam President.”
Organizers aren’t naming this hypothetical president. But they don’t have to, of course.
Meet the shadow campaign for Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Just beneath the surface, and without evidence of direct involvement by the Clintons themselves, a Clinton machine is whirring to life. A series of self-started, independent ventures are adding up to a sweeping effort to unite all levels of the Democratic establishment behind a candidacy that backers hope and trust they’ll have a chance to support….
… a series of prominent Democrats aligned with the Clintons – Harold Ickes, James Carville, Ann Lewis, Cheryl Mills, and Craig Smith among them – are acting as facilitators, channeling friends and allies toward entities that are working for a possible candidacy, according to numerous Democrats in and around the Clinton orbit.
They need for us to prove to her that we are worthy of having her run:
“It will show that there is what we think is very broad and deep support for Hillary, and it will encourage others to come forward and register their support for Hillary,” Ickes said. “More important, it is to show Hillary that there is broad and deep support. She knows how ephemeral polls can be, and how ephemeral public support can be.”
“Hopefully she will conclude that she should run for president,” added Ickes, who stressed that he has no direct knowledge of Clinton’s 2016 plans.
Sometime in 2015, the groundswell will be too large for Hillary to Just Say No.
But as of now, we still are not worthy.

No more Clintons. No more Bushes.
It’s going to be amusing watching her run. I mean, this woman is the ultimate political insider: a Yale Law School grad who has spent over 20 years as a First Lady, U.S. Senator, Secretary of State and has hob knobbed exclusively with the global political elite at Beltway cocktail parties in those 20 years.
She’s going trade that in for spending every night in a different Holiday Inn, eating fried Twinkies at the Iowa state fair, kissing babies of strangers, and trying to convince people in Peoria she “feels their pain”.
WHat if we appoint her Queen by unanimous aclamation ? Would THAT satisfy her ego ????
It didn’t satisfy Queen Barry!
The real trick will be how they try to insulate her from Obamacare..Hillarycare, whatever.
It should be imploding by that time, depending on how massive the waivers/exceptions/postponements are-
If they don’t think they can pull it off, the country may be in a total state of chaos by then to allow the rise of that Indian chic from Massachusetts, the Queen of #Occupy.
Remember when her support for a mandate was the rationale for choosing Obama over Chillary? Don’t get me wrong, there were some on the left who were quite serious in opposing the mandate, but most used it as an excuse to vote for the shiny object that was Barack Obama.
It is quite possible they won’t need to inoculate her from healthcare come 2016 as it appears there are still many on the left who “just think she’s had her day.” Fauxcahontas, Cory Booker and even Debbie “Downer” Wasserman Schultz are just a few of the straws progressives will reach for to satisfy their shiny object craving. I’m starting to think there may be far less demand for Hillary 2016 than the massive Clinton egos may be prepared to tolerate.
Is that Liz Squatter-lotamass?
I’m very thankful that I’m in the autumn of my life…
Me the ageist: do you have grandkids? I think we are allies from your posts. I’m “autumn” too. (Hilarious …. ,
My iPad wrote “autumn” as “autistic!”
