Do we think he chose not to run, or was asked not to run by Obama/Hillary?

If he chose not to, fine. If he asked not to, that's so unfair to him, and unfortunate for the country.

Responses:

I am pretty sure they viewed Hillary as a can't miss option. -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 11:21
Would he be valid as a candidate in 4 years? -- nm - landbeck Nov 9, 11:18 14
- Not a chance, IMO - Reagen Nov 9, 11:21 11
  - I don't see her making that run. Be a damned interesting concept though. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 9, 11:24 2
    - Talk about a grudge match. -- nm - Reagen Nov 9, 11:25 1
      - How Trump fares the first two years would be determine a lot. Are people pining for Black Camelot again? Are they mostly happy just to move on? -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 9, 11:29

    - It's her, Booker... Can we get Schweitzer back interested? - Reagen Nov 9, 11:25 6
      - Doesn't Schweitzer have a major issue? -- nm - spamlet Nov 9, 11:35 1

        Harris is a San Francisco liberal... (refused to seek the death penalty against a cop killer gang member)... - IrishStephen Nov 9, 11:35
        
        To your IM. 100% right I think. What about that governor of New Mexico? I have friends who seem to like her. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 9, 11:32

- He will be 77 when the next election comes around. He always seems youthful to me, - amoxy Nov 9, 11:20 1
  - So, he's only 3 years older than Trump. But yeah, 77 is too old. Rats. -- nm - landbeck Nov 9, 11:28
I don't think Obama would have chosen sides like that, would he? He wasn't a huge Hillary fan. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 11:17
I think the main reason he didn't run was his son dying -- nm - amoxy Nov 9, 11:16 2
- this is what he has maintained. He said there's no way he could have put forth that effort while grieving. -- nm* - Diva Nov 9, 11:18 1
  - right. it sounded like it was a combination of grief and lack of ambition this time to do it. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 9, 11:24
