I agree with you about HRC's not wanting to be #2. That is why, paradoxically, I think she would rather be the VP candidate this time around. If HRC is the VP candidate with Edwards or Clark, Bush will win easily. But HRC wouldn't really lose because no one will blame the drafted-at-the-last-minute VP candidate for losing to an incumbent. Then, HRC will be the Presidential nominee in 2008, having shored up many sympathy votes for having lost when she ran for VP in 2004.

I maintain that HRC wants to run for VP and lose in 2004 so that she can run for President and win in 2008.

Actually, that's a good point. Plus, being on the ticket, she'd be in a better position to undermine the campaign, ensuring her run in '08. Of course, there is the other theory: That being #2, Kerry could have an unfortunate "Vince Foster moment."

Why would they vote for her in 2008 if they wouldn't vote for her in 2004?
