Your point is well-taken; everything I said was based on the assumption that Hillary! will win reelection in 2006. If she loses, she's not going to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2008.

The larger point is this: In politics, it's not what you know, it's who you know. Political dynasties are nothing knew -- just in the 20th Century, we've had the Tafts, the Kennedys, the Roosevelts, the Bush family, and probably others I'm forgetting. Nor is it unusual for someone to be elected president who hasn't held public office for long: Dubya had six years; Reagan had eight; Eisenhower had never been elected to public office in his life. So I don't think we're going to be able to take Hillary! down on the grounds of lack of experience.

She has a lot of experience in getting murderers off as a public defender for the ACLU...
