"Hillary has GOT to have noticed. Don't expect her to run in 2004. Expect her in 2008 when the demographics have improved."

1. Hillary can't win without Kalifornia.
2. Hillary could face Rudy in NY in 2006.
3. Hillary can't win in 2008 if she loses NY in 2006.
4. The attacks on Rush were almost certainly coordinated to discredit the most effective campaign weapon of Republicans and the right.
5. The attacks on Rush were almost certainly coordinated to stifle the most effective Clinton critic.
6. Rush has speculated several times about running for the Whitehouse himself. If the markets were to crash and the economy to crater, Rush might be the only Republican who could take the Republican nomination away from Bush and still beat Hillary.

I'd say the odds are favoring 2004, but only time will tell.

Looks like Arnold put a little dent in Hitlery's plans. Oops!

Hillary WILL face Rudy in 2006, that's why she has to run in 2004.
