Sen. Hillary Clinton is about to decide her presidential plans, says columnist and author Richard Reeves. The race for the Democrats' 2004 presidential nomination "has changed totally in the past few weeks," Reeves wrote Tuesday. "At the beginning of the summer, Hillary could comfortably deny having national presidential ambitions because the comfortable conventional wisdom was that it didn't really matter who the Democratic candidate would be, because President Bush had a lock on re-election. (I'm sure that the thought has never crossed her mind that it would be better for her if Bush won in 2004, leaving her a...

Decisions, Decisions Respected writer and columnist Richard Reeves is reporting that Hillary Clinton will be deciding next weekend on whether to run for President in 2004: Hillary and her advisers, including her husband the ex-president, her money men and pollsters, will meet shortly after Labor Day -- Sept. 6, I hear -- to discuss whether or not she should go for it. It is a decision that has to be made earlier rather than later because of November and December filing deadlines for the early primary elections that will almost certainly (and very quickly) identify the 2004 Democratic nominee. What?!...

I think the constant whispering about a Hillary run in 2004 is only intended to set her up in 2008. A big loss by Dean, and the desperate Democrats will be begging Hillary to go for it. She will hit the ground running almost immediately following the 2004 loss and there will be no Democrat challengers.

It is in her best interest to continually undermine the current Democrat candidates. The bigger the loss and humiliation in 2004, the more power that she will have on the day after.

Just my view.

Thanks for the ping.Hillary will run only if she believes she will win it. I don't think she'll do it,but never say never.The ferocity of our negative opinion of Hillary is held by the left about Bush.The great middle is the deciding factor.Right now I believe Bush has more positives than Hillary.I never take any election for granted,however.

Thanks for the ping. Opened Drudge prior to coming here and felt a knot in my stomach not felt since the Bush/Gore fiasco. If she does run, it's only with the assurance she will win and all the illegal, sneaky pete tactics are in place. After her Senate coup, where the thumbs up during our freeps far outnumbered the thumbs down, I put nothing past her. Wish I could say bring it on, but with Dubya's poll numbers declining, this isn't sitting well with me.
