Yes, Hillary will be tough to beat. The first woman on the November ballot for president in 2008 will have a lot of built-in good will from both men and women. Speaking as a man, I would love to vote for a good woman for POTUS. Is there a Republican woman who could cut down "her shrillness"?

I think Condi Riced has the potential. But '08 may be too soon for her, unless she becomes VP in '04. She also may not want to be a politician, but prefers to be more behind the scenes.

One reason I like Condi also is the fact that she is black which will make it more difficult for Dems to beat her up, as they would anyone else.

She is also a lot easier on the eyes then old Hill.
