I think to many people remain focused on Hillary Clinton when it just isn't warranted. She's the "boogieman" under many conservatives "bed".

The poll numbers don't support this weird fixation. Yes, she is a miserable human being. Yes, she's a liar of the first order.

However, she carries the stigma of the Clinton Era with her to this day. Her negative numbers are very near the historical record, her popularity in New York has dropped since 9/11. Its questionable if she will be reelected in the capital of Liberalism, New York.

Throw in the fact that Senator's seldom make sucessful runs for President, anger by many of the NOW crowd that she didn't divorce the Impeached One, and her inability to speak publicly without "losing it" ala Al Gore in "Reverend mode"....sorry, I just don't see her as an ongoing threat, beyond say Teddy "Drown Em" Kennedy, or any other leftwingnut in the Senate.

She simply can't undo the negative ratings concerning her.

You overlook that the media almost literally worship Hillary, and that a Hillary candidacy would energize them as they have never been energized before. And they would innoculate her against any criticism by making the point you make - she is a bogeyman for conservatives, and that would just make opposition to her seem reactionary and mean-spirited, strengthening her even more. 90% of the women in the media TOTALLY identify with Hillary, and she would be promoted by the media as no one else has ever been promoted before.

As long as Peter Paul and Aaron Tonken are alive, she will never run!
