"
When will it ever end?"
With her defeat in 2008.
I tend to believe she will wait until GWB can't run again.
She's in the background making sure no "dim" is elected in 2004.
She can't get in this race, as GWB is still too strong, and she must decide in what, a month?
She won't run.
I think Farah is dead wrong on this one. Hillary was indeed keeping her option open as long as possible, and the nomination has always been hers for the taking. My prediction is that she will not run 2004. Reason: Good economic news. No dim is going to beat Bush in '04, and she has no intention of being the lamb that goes to the electoral slaughter.
