I think right now Hillary is hearing two voices...
her giant ego telling her she’ll win this time
and some high paid consultants saying “this could well be a repeat of 2008”
Seeing MoveOn start funding FauxCahontas the other day indicates to me the Mob wants to take her down again.
Yes and I still think in the end she will not run. The party is itching to dump her for Liz Warren or Bernie Sanders.

I think you have it exactly right. On the one hand, her enormous ego is still telling her that she is entitled to the presidency. On the other hand, there are more and more signs that her time has passed. Her book tour didn't go well. Gaffes like her "dead broke" comment have gotten a lot of attention. Her recent speech to a half-empty auditorium at Georgetown didn't help, especially her "empathy for our enemies" remark (this was not a "gaffe" - it was part of her prepared remarks.) Moveon.org, the organization created to defend her husband, has abandoned her. Now, the State Department is refusing to release records of her time there as Secretary of State. Even if there's nothing damaging in these records, the perception is that she's hiding something.
Hillary has a big decision to make. If she campaigns for the nomination, only to be rejected again by her own party, it's something she'll never be able to live down. Her best course of action at this point might be to save face by announcing that she will not run, giving a nice "it's time to devote more time to my family" speech.
