For the Rats, I'd prefer Hitlery (NY) running for President, rather than Richardson (NM). He is a cheater, and he took away Republican votes both in 2000 and in 2004 Presidential Elections. I hate him more than Hitlery! The worst thing, however, would be a ticket of these two.
Which is a possibility; unfortunately.

As one of FR's few unzotted Democrats, I guess I'll weigh in.
I predicted a Bill and Hill ticket a few months ago and I'm sticking with that prediction. Hillary won't win the general election if she's at the top of the ticket and I think that's probably recognized within the Democratic leadership. But remember; presidential candidates are selected via primary. It's entirely possible that the Democratic rank and file will vote for Hillary anyway.
Interestingly, I think that the key election issue for 2006 is going to end up being President Bush's selection for the Supreme Court. If he picks someone who is not conservative, or someone who is identified as pro-abortion, then all this election calculus ends up in the trash can. Because I think a significant number of Republicans, particularly religious conservatives, will choose to spend election day at home. And then the Democrats win by default.
