>>>This would be a good chance to knock her out completely for the future.
That all depends how thoroughly the White House/Congress gets cleaned out before she makes her move.
You saw the articles I posted above. You didn't get the impression that Kerry has something on McCain?
Read this one again if you only skimmed:

And did you get a chance to look at the Hillary site under construction?

Who ever is working on it screwed up the tables. Scroll to the right and read this. It is about the propaganda for rerunning in 2006 for Senate. But the sentiment is the same for running this November for Presidency:
I will win re-election in 2006
BOSTON (AP) — New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton boasted Tuesday that she will win re-election to a second term in 2006 no matter how much money Republicans raise in an attempt to beat her.
"Maybe they'll think better of it because I'm going to win," she said in an interview with The Associated Press. "They should spend their money elsewhere."
(snip)
She has info on enough people where they won't dare oppose her.
Bush won't be able to play quiet chess against her like he is doing against Kerry. He does NEED to beat her to the bunch and take out the trash though.
Definitely there's something on McCain. It's his big dark secret that he doesn't want people to remember, this MIA issue.
There's probably more than one faction holding something over his head. (Not to mention the Silverado savings and loan problem a few years ago, which he was involved in.)
You're got a point about the clintonistas still hanging on. We're never going to get rid of all of them, and they're sitting there just waiting for Evita to come on home.
We don't have too long to wait to see if Evita thinks Kerry is damaged enough yet, and whether she thinks the President is take-able.
Not to mention the element of surprise -- I think a lot of people would flock to her if she were to run, and if the numbers are very close between GWB and Kerry, then it's possible she'll manage to win over some of the undecideds who would have gone Repub.
