oooh, i like that scenario!!
I didn't realize sharpton would run -- will he not be dissuaded, tho? dead cat, sick grandchild, missing fbi files???
Whatever dirt the Toons dig up on Big Al, will just put liberal black voters off of her candidacy. The only reason the greaseball ran for President this year is to make Tawana Brawley into "old news". He knew that the other Rat candidates would never dig into him, since he had a snowball's chance in hell, and they wouldn't alienate his liberal black voting base. Hillary won't shy away from that if necessary, but will wound herself fatally in the process, making Giulianni's taking of her seat into a cakewalk.
Look for 2006 to be the year the Republicans finally get a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Toadies like Maria Cantwell and a few other Rats from 2000 are going to have their hands full in the coming election. We should have a fully recovered economy, and more victories in the war on Islam to make Bush and his party look invincible.
