At What Point Do Clinton's Eye 2012?

By Mark:

Bill and Hillary Clinton’s endorsement of Barack Obama was appropriate and vital at the Democratic Convention and moving forward as they have continued to do.

But how long will they continue to do so?

Obama is still neck-and-neck with John McCain in the polls but if McCain were to start gaining a slight edge, how long will the Clinton’s stand by Obama’s side?

If polls begin to indicate that the McCain camp is distancing itself, the Clinton’s may start eyeing 2012 and jump off the Obama bandwagon.

I think the Clinton’s truly believe Obama would do great things as the leader of this country, but as I’ve said before, politics are politics, and the Clinton’s will look out for themselves if the Democrats fall behind.

So it’s game time for Obama. The first debate on September 26 at the University of Mississippi will be critical for Obama. He must be sharp going off script and gain a lead on McCain with a large national audience watching or else the Clinton’s may jump ship.
