I don't think Hillary would touch 2004 with a ten-foot pole. She knows it's a losing proposition. She's interested in 2008, when the Republicans don't have an incumbent advantage. Why spend a lot of political capital on an election fight against a strong opponent that isn't likely to be won anyway?
She'll be their nominee in 08. Not this time. Kerry is the sacrificial lamb in 04. They had to run *somebody*. He ain't going to win- Hillary will make certain of that. If he gets some sweet consolation prize after losing the election, like a choice committee appointment, then he was in on it. If he doesn't, then he was exploited by the 'rats because he's an egotist. If Kerry did win in 04, she'd have to wait until 2012. She ain't going to do that.
I'm looking for a rat full-court press in '08, with Hillary leading the charge.
Oh please!
