Knowing the Clintons, I don't think this even qualifies as a tin foil yalmulke.

Don't count on this. Lots of people who get the nomination and then lose are never heard from again. Dukakis, Mondale, Gore, etc. If she were to be nominated, her reputation could end up so muddied from the campaign that the nation will finally wake up and see that she's not fit to be elected to a county school board. And that would be the end of her career.
This is why I think there's no chance in hell she'll run in 2004. She could risk having her years of scandal brought back up day after day if there was nobody on the other side who could touch her and she was virtually guaranteed to win barring a whole NEW set of scandals. (If, say, she were running against the presidential equivalent of Rick Lazio.) But she wouldn't have that luxury; she'd be running against Bush and the Karl Rove Campaign Machine. And Rove would make sure she had no reputation LEFT by the end of the 2004 campaign.
So she could either risk losing everything, and going through hell in the process, or else just sit back, let the Ten Dwarves fight it ought amongst each other and then have the "winner" lose big to Bush in 2004, while she spends the next 4 to 5 years trying to rebuild her reputation in preparations for a 2008 election is which she would be the ONLY obvious frontrunner in either party.
I don't know about you, but I'd pick the latter option any day.
I would be happy to ignore them but they won't go away.

Now is the best time - mudslinging just isn't in Dubya's armamentarium.
Why risk going up against a hardball player (as if the pubies have any) in '08?
Also I thought I'd caught a news story that many of the Clinton team are advising Clark, incl Begala, Immanual, Clintons former Chief of Staff, and the dufus than ran Algore's campaign.
What's up? Clark's numbers rise, on order of the Dems to the Presstitutes. He builds a base, some state organizations, funds, name recognition. Then at the last minute if Bush looks vulnerable, Hitlary steps in, Clark conceeds to the Veep slot, and Hitlery inherits his resources, organization, team which he graciously delivers.
The libs will tolerate Clinton-Clark to get Hillery. Morons will see a balanced ticket, with the necc. military expertise to 'fight terrorism.
Clark is the stalking horse to do the grunt work for Hillery who may or may not jump based on the magis +/- 50% apporval If ist close, she's got to go. Can't have Dean or Kerry potentially win, and become Party lead.
Unfortunatly since Jorge is asleep-at-the-wheel on jobs, much of his former base will stay-home-in-droves and Clinton-Clark stands more of a chance than one may think.
Of course I hope that nothing "untoward" happens to to the poor dear, but you never know about these things! I'll say a silent prayer for Hitlery tonight before I go to bed. Since it will be silent, only God will know what praying for!!
Four additional years are an eon in politics when you are out of power. She would have to defend her Senate seat in 2006 and there is a VERY real likelyhood of her losing to Rudy Guiliani. There is even a likelyhood of her losing to George Patakia. Either one would be an unmitigated disaster to her presidential ambitions.
It would show that she could be beat and would open her up to challengers in the democrat primaries. Hillary can not stand the long term scrutiny of a run through the primaries. She wouldn't have to worry about the Republicans bringing up dirt from her past. Her fellow democrats would do it to knock her out.
Remember, it was AlG (pronounced algae) who first brought up Willie Horton.

LOL - he was in CA today chanting, "No on recall, no on recall". A cheerleader he is not!
HeeHee! That's a picture I don't want to even think about! He is sooooo stiff! He wants to play the game, but he can't!
