Klobuchar is making opening moves NPR implies she is seeking to run for president.

http://blogs.mprnews.org/newscut/2015/04/klobuchar-writes-memoir/

Few politicians in these parts have benefited from idle national speculation more than Sen. Amy Klobuchar. She’s been mentioned as a potential Supreme Court member, possibly an attorney general nominee without a whiff of evidence that she was a serious contender for either position.

We presume her presidential possibilities are next now that word has come that she’s writing her memoir, a requirement these days if you’re going to run for president.

Nice zinger on the memoir. I remember the pop-up book memoir they released for Palin. What was it? 115 pages with big type and lots of photos.
 
Has there ever been a female President in the States before? A female would surely grab a major portion of the female vote. It would be a novelty for the States to elect a Palin or a Clinton.

It would be novel, that's for sure. A novel disaster, that's for certain. But a novelty nonetheless.

She could literally be lifting the US off the Earth into a portal leading straight to hell... and she'd still have 40% Republican support, with people defending her by saying "Oh, just blame everything on Palin!"
 
Was he facing some sort of well known political juggernaut in 1990?

I don't seem to remember one, though I was but a lad.
 
The only thing I'm looking forward to in '16 is that Ron Paul isn't running. :)

Reagan recession, dreaded tax increase, and Rush Limbaugh. Clinton was also hip, could play the sax, and knew what a grocery store scanner was.

If you think that Bush Sr was a juggernaut, remind me never to attend a hindu festival with you.

I was but a lad, but I recall never really being impressed with him. Nor anyone else.

Which misses the point. I asked how well known Bill Clinton was in 1990, as a response to people saying that some genuinely good Democrat candidates are too unknown.

And you forgot to add Perot to your list of reasons why Clinton beat Bush.
