Here's my take on the subject.
Chappa-squaw would lose by a landslide, because the GOP would see nearly 100% turnout to vote.
She has never been seen by the public in anything but a safe, artificial forum.
The GOP knives will be long and sharp for this enemy of America.
She is not personable, and her record of deceit, failure and complicity in Bill's crimes weighs on her candidacy like a certain wide load.
Which is why she will not replace Kerry until after the debates are over.
She will have a three week "Listening to America" campaign from NBC studios in New York, with preselected "victims" begging her for help with their problems, moderated in turn by Matt, Katie, Baba Wawa and Oprah.
BINGO! Her elected career has been a cake-walk so far. I don't think that she's quick enough on her own two feet to do well in the political dogfight that would lead to the presidency.
However, if John Kerry obviously thinks he can run for President while not giving any specifics on his plan(s), then don't doubt that Hillary could do the same, and probably more successfully.
I'd feel and sleep much better if she suffered a massive stroke or something like that. Let Bubba care for her then like Nancy cared for President Reagan...with the same love and devotion of course < /sarcasm >
