get rest. will she run for president next time in 2016? kiki mcclain is a democratic strategist and a senior adviser to the 2008 presidential campaign. i think this is going to be in the back of every washington and capitol and political conversation i m part of or anybody for the next few years, because we know barack obama is president for the next four years, which opens up the mystery can whoshgs the name knee for next time. we won t drag on this story. what can you tell us here? the democratic feerd, andrew cuo cuomo, people like martin he omall dwri from maryland, these are governors of new york and maryland. do they stay in the circle knowing they don t know how hillary is going to move? absolutely. i think everything will wait to see what hillary clinton will do. one of the big questions democrats face is as they look
