I really don't think who she picks as VP will matter to the electorate. She will undoubtedly pick someone that she can control, such as Clark.
Reasons for her running in 2004 instead of 2008:
1) No demoncrat has emerged as a front-runner so far. Most of the candidates appear very weak. This may not be the case in 2008.
2) She's going to be older and uglier in 2008.
3) As others have mentioned, she still controls the DNC through McAuliffe. This may not be the case in 2008.
4) As others have stated, the FBI files she has on people decline with value as time passes. So they'll be worth less in 2008 than 2004.
5) The apparent Republican nominee is also a very weak candidate, whose support is not very deep. His biggest accomplishment to this point has been just happening to be president when 9/11 occurred. If not for that, his approval rating would likely be in the 30s or 40s.
Why Hitlery will win if she runs:
1) A lot of women and feminized men will vote for the "first woman running for president".
2) Massive vote fraud, including lots of illegals (whom Bush loves) voting for her.
3) Massive budget deficits and a sluggish economy.
4) Many conservatives will sit at home because they feel betrayed by Bush.
I think she'll run, and she'll win. It will be the most corrupt and evil administration in American history, and Republicans will once again regret the day they made a member of the Bush family their nominee. She will expand exponentially on the police state he is building.
That being said, having her win might very well wake up enough people in this country, (the 'boiling frog' syndrome). If not, America is screwed.
The response to her book, a “Mein Kampf” of her sick, demented psyche, was astounding. The politically clueless females bought it for the sake of showing their blind adoration to her and her rapist partner.
She can not allow Dean to be president in 2004 with a revived economy. She is like the bounty hunter in “Outlaw Josey Wales” who had to come back into the saloon.
