Don't forget that Hillary would get all the Clinton baggage, too. If Al Gore thought the Clinton Legacy was dragging his campaign down, just wait to see what happens when Hillary runs. The pardon of the FALN terrorists, Marc Rich, Health Care, all of that's gonna come back to bite her in the posterior. I doubt her Iconic Co-President image is worth diddly, now. Yeah, she'll get warm and glowing reviews from most of the media, but that'd be the case no matter who was the Democratic candidate.

As for Rick Lazio, well, "I know Jeb Bush. And Rick Lazio is no Jeb Bush". Rick Lazio, from what I understand, ran a craptacular campaign which was pretty much centered around telling people "Don't vote for Hillary. She's EEEEEVILLLLL!". Gotta give the voters something to vote FOR, and it appears that he didn't do that (Correct me if I'm wrong, of course. Been 3 years and I'm not a New Yorker. That's just what I remember from the time). Then there's the fact that he got a late start, as for a while there it was gonna be Rudy who was gonna run against her, but he had to drop out.

Suffice to say, I think Hillary is emminently beatable, so long as the GOP doesn't throw up a lame candidate against her, or run a craptacular campaign.
