She will be drafted as the Democratic VP candidate at the convention in the summer of 2004 to whomever is the frontrunner.

She will be drafted to universal Democratic acclaim to "energize" the party and"fight" Bush. There will be much drama about her agonizing decision, vis a vis her sacred promise(gag!) to the voters of NY to finish out her Senate term.

If the D's win in '04, she becomes VP. The Presidential candidate conveniently expires via Arkancide in '07, and Hillary serves out the last two years of that term, and is elected to two more terms in her own right. In those ten years, she will campaign to amend the Constitution so that she can serve indefinitely by running as long as she can be reelected, and that the electoral college is done away with, so that massive vote fraud can be institutionalized and her hold on power will become absolute.

About that time, the second American Revolution/Civil War breaks out.


If she runs and Bush is reelected in '04, she still wins. She has automatically become the Demon frontrunner for '08,eliminated the competition,
has her donors intact, and will appeal to her fellow women voters to "make history" by electing the first woman President.

Your senerio is possible, but I just don't believe they are that patient. Still, a very thoughtful response on your part.

She won't take V.P. and I doubt that Dean or LIEberman would take her on .

If , hypothetically,your scenario is true and the Dems lose, as they SHALL, she is perminently tarnished ! Ferraro was the " first woman V.P. candidate, so even though she lost, she has pride of first. And, that didn't help her; neither would it help Hil. What ? She'll campaign, for president, in '08, with the slogan, vote for me, I lost in '04 ? That's not exactly resonating for LIEberman.

Hillary doesn't have a chance. No one will energize the Republican base like the lying witch.

Dean has a better chance to win.

Hilly has another problem, if she decides not to run in 04, she faces re-election in 06. If Rudy decides to run against her, she could very well lose. Not to her likeing.

"She will be drafted as the Democratic VP candidate at the convention in the summer of 2004 to whomever is the frontrunner."

That's been my guess all along, basically for the reasons you've outlined as well as not having to go through the long, painful, and exhausting primary season.

"08 becomes alot easier if she can scare everyone else from running against her. Also by that time the W economy will be running out of juice.
