City wonders whether Hillary Clinton will run for mayor

Speculation in some quarters has Hillary Clinton considering a run for New York City mayor next year against Mayor Bill De Blasio. If this is true, it brings a new dimension to political elections.

She would be running against her former campaign manager, De Blasio, who managed her campaign when she ran for U.S. Senate.

There does not seem to have been a similar type race in recent New York political history.

In terms of a candidate being defeated for the presidency and then running for a lesser office in his home state, Richard Nixon comes to mind.

but if he was running for something else, who knows? Has there ever been a female mayor of New York City? I don't think so.

after all, she did do that, and it is not like we do not need senators.

OR, while she has been in NYC, perhaps she could go back to arkansas and take over some red territory.
