Does anyone know what the deadline to register as a candidate for the DemocRats? I think I read or heard 180 days before the election??

The deadlines vary from state to state, but it is November for some of the early primary states. It may be that Clinton has decided that running and even losing in 2004 (which she would not expect) will not keep her from also getting the 2008 nomination. Maybe even "her bill" is eager for another campaign after sitting around and being entertained for the past three years.

She's already registered to run. Her "friends" signed her up months ago. Plausibly deniable, 100% Clinton...

Deadlines don't matter.

(And I'm not saying that because I'm from NJ where Lousenberg somehow managed to replace Torricelli after our laws said he could not.)

The Democrats can nominate whomever they please at their convention. We're so used to the conventions being a mere formality after the primary process that our eyes have been diverted from the Commodities Scam Queen's path to power. I do not believe she will run in any primaries. But she will do whatever she can to prevent one person from locking up the nomination by winning enough primaries to have a majority of the delegates committed to vote for that candidate on the first ballot. Then she can ride in on her Black Broom and walk away with the nomination. It saves a lot of money and it avoids the messiness of having to dodge questions for as long as possible.
