I expect she'll run in '04. The sooner she runs the more she can bask in the aura of The Clinton Administration - which (while it makes us retch) generates all kinds of warm fuzzies for her supporters. The longer she takes to run the more that aura fades and the more she'll have to run on her own merits as a legislator, which are practically nil. If she doesn't run ASAP, she'll fade and other real politicians (whether we like them or not) will step in.

Don't underestimate the political situation either: in '04, she will have the rare opportunity to run against Republican-dominated gov't. Despite any success Bush may have in the next 2 years, those opposing Bush will become energized to run against Bush's failures AND successes, and few will be able to whip the opposition into a frenzy like Hillary (precisely because she is all symbolism and no substance).

She may not win in '04, but by trying she'll move into position for an '08 run. Her time is limited, and she must run ASAP. She'll try like he11 to run in '04.

She won't run in 2004, unless Bush stumbles very badly. She knows that she only has one chance to win, losing would be very problematic, because every campaign she runs takes a little more oommph out of her base and causes her negative image to increase.

IMHO She would be a FOOL!!! To run in 2004. She will wait till 2008. She can't take Bush, she knows that...

And knowing that the RNC needs to start investing in New York Big time to change the tide that will Creep Up "Rat" soon enough......

Her time is limited, and she must run ASAP. She'll try like he11 to run in '04.

Not to mention, she...uh...IT...will be 60 years old by 2008. A little long in the tooth for someone who allegedly has such appeal to "young" voters.
