Hillary could slip in as the VP candidate in a no-lose situation. She could stil run in '08 if they lose in '04. If they win, well, accidents do happen.

She very well could slip in as the Pres candidate in the middle of the rat convention. She could walk right in and assume what she believes to be her birthright, and the entire pack of rats nationwide, nay, worldwide would scurry to battle at ther side. It would be the perfect rat storm with the schools, the media, entertainment, everyone coming to her side, building into a tremendous crescendo the likes of which the world has never seen. She would have three months of constant adulation in every medium imaginable, with simultaneous multiple dirty tricks being sprung on W. She could make it a real horse race, but, in the end, the nag would lose.

I agree with everything you said, including what the nature of the "campaign" would be like.

"but, in the end, the nag would lose."

Which was the only point I was trying to make :)

Could you imagine the media, if she did become the VP, and the President didn't meet her friend, R. Ken Side? They would run to her for all of the answers. Whoever was President would constantly be in her ample shadow.
