Hillary needs two things in place in order to give entering the race serious thought.

1) A weak Democrat primary field. So weak that people will practically beg her to get in the race.

2) Continuing bad media from Iraq over the next 2-4 months.

She clearly already has #1 and unless we make some very visible progress in Iraq she will have #2 as this will be a long hard fight (which we all knew) and the media and the American people are impatient.

The economy may be improving but it's a slow improvement IMHO. We need the economy to start creating jobs by the end of the first quarter.

Good points. They've got the 'death-toll-from-Iraq' hammer and will use it (we're seeing caskets now)

Also, the thought of gun grabbing Million Moron Moms heading to the polls will heat things up when the AWB sunset is to occur (did you see video of the lawyer dodging bullets from behind a tree?)
