Don't discount the possibilities of a presidential illness or other top-level vacancy, either.

I'm not. VP Cheney is not exactly in 100% health. (Neither is McCain if the Democrats/Liberal Media want to run him again). I would also not rule out an assassination attempt on the President.

Hillary may not be as viable a Democratic Party choice if any of the Enron scandal fallout sticks to her.

It will stick to her as much as Whitewater, the Cattle Futures bribe, Travelgate, Filegate, Socialized Medicine, etc. etc. That is to say, I think it will be forgotten by the time campaigning starts.

And it would be a fellow Democrat in the best position to see that happen to her

Ah, but she still has all those FBI files and she knows how to use them ... How clean do you think her primary competition is going to be? They're Democrats.

McCain - As a the democrat he actually is.

If/when/after GW vetos the Campaign F*ckup'ed Restriction Act, McCain will switch parties.

Hillary as Veep? Probably not yet.

Hillary in '08 is still my guess.

And she can play politics rough, as befits someone who grew up seeing that game as it's played in Illinois' Cook County.

And so can some of her potential Democratic Party alternatives.
