If I were Hillary [ugh]...
I would adopt hubby's strategy and split the opposition's vote using some west-coast or sunbelt RINO like McCain, running as an independent like Perot or Anderson.
Someone like McCain is doubly dangerous, since a third-party McCain ticket would split the male vote as well as the Republican vote, while tending to corral the female vote for Hillary.

Forget it, McCain runs as top billing in '08 or not at all. He didn't spend 7 years in VC POW camp to play second fiddle to an ugly left-wing oilcan like Hillary. McCain will be a Bob Dole by '08, without the humor and likability. The fact is that Rice in '08 is pretty much a slam dunk if we can get a Southern good old boy on the ticket with her. Too bad Frist probably wouldn't bite- he's be a perfect Milquetoast type choice, a boring white dude who never steps in s$it, is an MD, etc. A Rice/Frist ticket would really be something. Better yet, Rice/ Zell Miller, if he's still alive.
Nevermind. I see the problem.
Rice/Frist in 08. I was thinking the exact same thing!
That will pin down the South for sure and Condi has a chance of grabbing CA.
