Alas, Hillie is NOT the white knight. She will not waddle over the hill at the key moment to rescue the dems because there are too many variables with negative potential. If the economy booms into the first half of next year, the dems are lost on domestic economic issues. If Bush marches Saddam or OBL or both out into a press conference at the point of his .45, the dems are toast.

No, the white knight in 2004 will be PanderAl Gore. He will run and he will lose, but he will clear the field for Hillie in 2008. We know Cheney will not run in 2008, so it will be Hillie against a new guy, inexperienced and untested. Who will oppose Hillie in 2008? Who will it be? My bet is that Rudi will replace Cheney on the 2004 ticket and run for president in 2008. It won't be Powell but it might be Condi.

No Hillie, but Gore for the slimey sleaze in 2004!

I heard Gore speak the silly chant with Davis and my stomach heaved.No More Gore!

It won't be Powell but it might be Condi.

Unfortunately Condi's not a politician. But if a policy wonk like Rahm Emanuel can become a Representative and a political wife like Hillary Clinton can become a Senator, and a lawyer like John Edwards can become a Senator (all first time around, I think) then Condi should run for Senate first.

I'd send money to her for that!
