Here is how Hillary wins (many of you touched on these points)

1) She won the NY Senate seat without losing her temper and without having to deal with "the toughest journalists in the country".

2) Bush 41 had approval ratings like his son's 18 months before the election.

3) Hillary divorces or leaks another affair by Bill to gain her the "scorned wife" sympathy vote.

4) Naturally, many women and neutered men will vote for her just due to her sex.

5) A campaign against Bush 43 will be targeted at conservatives, criticizing Bush 43 for his Education Bill, Prescription Drug, Campaign Finance, etc. (He's a big spender) This will limit the conservative vote and cause many to stay home.

6) A 3rd party candidate will emerge to give those conservative voters another alternative. After all, Democrats and Republicans are all the same, right?

7) No terrorist attacks will cause the media to label Bush 43 as 'hysterical' on the issue every time he talks about it. Additional alerts will only make this worse. Hillary will praise Bush for the war on terror, but state that now we must move forward with the work of this country while continuing to track terrorists.

8) Regardless of economic conditions (we will never get back to the dot-com bubble), Hillary will state that the economy was better before Bush 43. People will forget the facts, regardless of Rush, Hannity, Freepers, etc. She will use Reagan's line "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" Conservatives will scream and liberals will salivate.

9) Hillary will run a campaign for our future, the children and how we are destroying their world due to our own greed. She will appeal to the aging baby-boomers who are now realizing how selfish their lives have been and want to leave a legacy behind.

10) Finally, Hillary will win by focusing on the Supreme Court nominees from Bush 43 (there will be 1 or 2 by election time). Those nominees will be labeled as right-wingers that will take away your choices (abortion and who you have sex with). Hillary will paint all Republicans and dirty, old white men that want to stick their noses into your private lives while letting corporations like Enron screw you over.

THAT IS THE NIGHTMARE WE MUST BE PREPARED TO DEAL WITH.

I know the nation has changed a great deal since 9-11. However, we are already slipping back into our old habits.

...No terrorist attacks will cause the media to label Bush 43 as 'hysterical' ...

Remember her bombing the Serbs on behalf of the Al Qaida backed Albanians. There will be or not be another terror attack as she sees fit.

Once she's in, look for the Capitol building to be bombed with everyone in it. Her allies are our worst enemies.

You failed to figure Nader into your equation, who is also making noises about running again.

THAT IS THE NIGHTMARE WE MUST BE PREPARED TO DEAL WITH.

That statement is exactly why I put up this thread -- we have got to be prepared to deal with Hillary Clinton as the RAT candidate and can leave no stone unturned in defeating her.

I have no doubt that her campaign would be what you describe. I just don't believe that she could make it work.
