I really think that if she has to do that kind of format, she will get slaughtered if she runs against President Bush. Most people will react as if she is lying (which, of course, she is, but the people I'm talking about don't know she's a liar today.)

As I said yesterday, I think that if she tries to work on that flaw, she will come off looking like Dr. Zombiemaker.

This is NOT a small, shallow point. Rove, et al, should be plotting ways to force her into this format . . . if she gets herself drafted for 2004.

I stand behind my contention that Hillary's recent visibility is related not to a presidential run but to three names:

Paul, Tonkin and Pallidino(sp)

Consistent with prior scandal strategy, she makes many public pronouncements then claims people are only coming after her because she is a "strong woman".

Furthermore, I think Hillary would rather sit back and say she could have been a contender if not for the VRWC, rather than actually have to face the possibility of defeat.

Speaking of insanity, are you watching Wesley Clark on Hardball?
