I respectively disagree. If the party ever wants to regain political power, it simply cannot do that. And they know it. She wouldn't pick up enough votes in the south to even make it a race.

It is possible she may try to go for it, but the Clintons are yesterday's news and she will be even more stale by 2008.

The Dems desperately need fresh faces and Edwards is one of them -- and proved it in the primaries. I don't like his politics, but he will be a vote getter.

where the clintons are involved, maximum cynicism is
indicated.

I would bet a decent amount of money that she runs, allright.

that would be the only reasonable explanation for her sudden
lurch towards moderation (since her time as "assistant prez")
in the senate. either that, or all those republican
constituents in upstate NY.

I'm still not sure Hillary is the pick in 2008. My gut says it's now or never for Hillary due to alot of factors. She may have sights set for 2008 but I don't think she can realistically get it. The Rudi factor will keep her from running for Senate in '06 and risk losing. The Clinton mystique will start subsiding. Out of office, she'll spend two years constantly bashing Bush which will not go over well with already polarized voters. A big win by Bush will change everything. If it's razor thin, Hillary is still in play, but I just think Hillary is suffering from bad timing; just like Cuomo. He didn't capitalize when he should have. I suspect she'll suffer the same fate. She just is not electable nationally and she knows it. It's only going to happen by deception and last minute surprises. She cannot withstand scrutiny for any length of time. It's now or never, and the events of the next two months will dictate her entire future.
