David Bossie certainly knows what he is talking about. His efforts in 1992 to warn us of the effects of a Clinton presidency got lost in the Perot/Media maelstrom. HRC has the ambition, money, organization, and name id. All that is left is the window of opportunity. Circumstances may well result in her taking the VP slot, but after watching her for 25 years in Arkansas, 20 of which were in Hope, I know her well, and her ambition is as large or larger than Bill's. I do not believe she wants to wait for 2008 or beyond.
I believe HRC's most powerful running mate is dependent upon this years race in California. A Davis/Clinton or Clinton/Davis ticket would be very formidable.
Timing is a critical factor in Presidential politics. Due to the compression of the DEM primaries in 2004, HRC will have to catch or surpass Gore in the polls by next summer. I believe she is working toward this goal now with behind the scenes efforts, campaigning for candidates nationwide complete with contributions, re-positioning her image as a centrist with media complicity, and contending with Daschle and Gore to become the party's leading critical voice.
Should she succeed, Gore will implode quickly as the DEM apparatus is already desirous of another candidate, only the grassroots remain to be persuaded.
Should Davis lose to Simon this fall, the equations will change dramatically for a possible HRC VP candidacy. It is difficult to imagine Gore asking her to be on his ticket, but it is easy to conceive Lieberman doing so. But such a ticket would be unbalanced regionally, though so was 1992's, and the PC quality of a Jewish/Woman or Woman/Jewish combination would make to 2004 race a watershed event in American history. Just what Hillary has always dreamed of. Remember she began as a Goldwater Girl.
A win-win situation for HRC, for even a devastating loss would seal her place in history as a galvanizing force for the feminist-socialist left.
In short, watch California closely, watch Bush carefully, and for God's sake, NEVER take your eye of HRC.
