I think he's trying to make sure Hellary does NOT have a hope in Hell of getting elected. It would be nice if this made Hellary to hot for the Democrat nomination!! (I can dream can't I?) LOL
You know...I came to that same conclusion awhile back. He really doesn't want the old battleaxe to run because it would take the spotlight off of him. His bloated ego would not be able to handle it. I also think she will back off in 06, mainly to try for 08.
Either way...IMO, the clintons are doomed has-beens.
