I know that most here believe this is all a set-up for '08. But, the press has been thick with HillarySpin this past week and will again this week. Is this all for the book and '08? Is it just to spike the chances for other dems? Or, is all of this something more, like a sneak attack for an '04 bid.?

I think the current Hillary-blitz is to try to get the book sales up. Look for stacks of the book at a union headquarters near you. They want to put "best-selling author" next to her name.

I think this is designed to put a contrast between her and the current candidates. To have the hard-core Democrats pining for Hillary. Her shadow will be over the nominee. When he loses, she'll be the one the activists put in his place.

This happens with every resounding presidential defeat. The party looks immediately for the successor and she wants to make sure she's in that void.

I think Hillary better start worrying about kepping her Senate seat. The just published Marist poll has her losing to Rudy Giuliani by 17 points.

I think she could be taking over the Dem spotlight now so that the Dem nominee doesn't get any media buzz. If the Dem wins next election, 2008 is out for her. I thinks she knows she can't beat Bush in '04.

I think this is her "we covered that in my book in 2003" which I wrote specifically to address the Lewinsky scandal.
