"Other thing is, press knows well that Hillary CANNOT be stopped getting dem.primary. They conducted a secret poll among themselves."

Recent polls don't look too good for Hillary. That said, I think if she wants to be the Pres candidate, they'll do whatever they need to to get it for her, with the help of the MSM. One of her biggest issues IMHO is going to be answering questions - - something she's never done - - -everything has to be scripted for her and in a Presidential campaign, it may be difficult to avoid questions (though I suspect the MSM will help her).

Hillary Clinton Looks Like a 2008 Candidate (Propaganda Alert)

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., simultaneously one of the most revered and reviled people in the country, is the subject of perhaps the most burning question in politics: Will she run for president?

[snip]Clinton, however, insists she hasn't made up her mind, but she's sure acting like a presidential candidate. This month, Clinton, who's up for re-election in New York in nine months, will be campaigning — in Florida.

[snip]"I predict this administration will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country." -

"When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, [it's] like a plantation. And you know what I'm talking about." -

"Contrary to … Franklin Roosevelt, who had nothing to fear but fear itself, this [GOP] crowd is all: '[What] we got is fear, and we're going to keep playing the fear card.' "

Here's some more from the article:

Clinton may not want to declare her intentions because she doesn't want to confirm suspicions that she's using New York as a launching pad for her presidential ambitions.
A Good Candidate?

Political analysts say Clinton will be hard to stop in the Democratic primaries, but may struggle to win in the general election.

"There's gonna be one question on the table," Joe Klein said. "'What's he going to do? What's Bill Clinton's role in your administration going to be?' And I don't think there's a very good answer to that."

Added ABC News' political director Mark Halperin: "Hillary Clinton stands for what a lot [of] Democrats stand for: They're against George Bush. She doesn't have a set of ideas that clearly say: 'This is why I should be president.'"

Said Klein: "The first woman president … is going to have to be both strong and likeable. In other words, she's gonna have to be a genius politician. I think Hillary Clinton is pretty good, but I don't think she's a genius politician."

Hillary Won't Run

I am a Republican who happens to have a lot of Democratic friends. That's the way it goes when you come from Dorchester, Massachusetts. And what most of these Democratic friends of mine tell me for private consumption is that their party is really, really, really desperate to win back the White House, and in their minds, for that to happen, Hillary Clinton has to get out of the way.

Their rationale, not mine, is that they don't think enough Americans, especially American women, are actually going to vote for Senator Clinton in a general election. While I'm no fan of polls, a recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll would seem to indicate that these Democratic friends of mine are on to something. When asked, only 16 percent of respondents said they would "definitely" vote for Hillary Clinton, while 51 percent said they would definitely not. She even lost in the poll to Condoleezza Rice, a woman who has made it crystal clear that she has no intention of running for president.

Next on the hit parade of things my Democratic friends worry about when it comes to Senator Clinton is that they really would like not to revisit the Whitewater, commodities, Monica, Lincoln Bedroom, Hillarycare days. Some of them worry, rightly in my opinion, that if Mrs. Clinton runs, all of this old, unpleasant, and somewhat unresolved baggage is going to be run on a loop by certain conservative, Christian, and even Democratic groups. The obvious question of these friends being: "Why should our party relive that pain?"

The orca rolled into Iowa and stopped Dean cold.

He arranged for the votes to go to Kerry. He took Gephardt votes and made sure they were in the Kerry column.

If the Orca wants her heiney to lose the Iowa primary, she will lose the Iowa primary.

Not going to happen. Hillary is not going to step aside on her own. To force her out Dems are going to have to leak all sorts of stuff about the Clinton years, the most recent being the Barrett report. Won't do it because they admit complicity to the deeds by having remained silent. Like it or not the Dems are stuck with the Clintons. Bill and Hillary have been a cancer on the Democrat Party that has been allowed to grow and grow. The patient is now terminally ill. May God have mercy on it's soul.
