Those of you on this thread and on Free Republic that might relish the thought of Hillary getting in the 2004 race need to reflect carefully on this.

If she is running it's because she thinks Bush is vulnerable and he well might be if the economy doesn't pick up. His best issue to run on is the terrorism platform that he can keep America safer than Hillary, that I truly believe.

All polls taken on the Democratic field indicate that if Hillary decides to run that she goes to the top of the list with at least 45% amoung the Democratic base. She will ahve no trouble raising money, even at this date and can literally walk away with the nomination. Howard Dean and the rest will be just a memory.

You can Never, I repeat Never underestimate Hillary and Bill Clinton. Even though most polls show that the country is tired of them, etc., they will still play well in those areas of the country that are moderate to liberal. Take a look at the 2000 Presidential Race map. If Hillary only runs well in a few key states, just like Gore she is within striking distance of winning and it may well come down to Florida again.

It will then be more important than ever to keep the House & Senate, or at least one them to keep her from passing the Communist/Socialist agenda she wants.

It's a long way to November 2004 and there is a lot that can happen including a Hillary/Clark ticket.

I have thought all along that Clark has to be getting into the this thing on some prearranged plan with the Clintons.

All I can say is that we can take nothing, and I mean nothing for granted next year including Bush being an automatic sho in for re-election.

This means we have to work that much harder and we have to get the vote out.

One thing though is that the choice will very clear to the voters between the Very Left-Trotskyite Democrats and the Conservative to Middle Republicans. I think the line in the sand will have been drawn.

Bill Press just made this statement:
"At 3:15pm today, I stated that there is no way Hillary is running, since then, I got a phone call from a staffer on Capitol Hill who told me that they were at an event with her 2 weeks ago, and that the next day, she called him, and said to him": "I really enjoyed your speech yesterday, and by the way, folks are urging me to run in 04, if I decide to, DO I HAVE YOUR SUPPORT?"

His best issue to run on is the terrorism platform that he can keep America safer than Hillary,

And if the proves not to be true and the economy remains weak? Only way Hillary enters the race is if she is sure that she won't be embarrassed at the polls. This just may all turn out to be internal party power positioning stuff -- we'll see.
