No Way

Hillary might not run for President, you say? Poppycock, says I. Hillary's looking at the field of potential challengers in 2008 and salivating. The article suggests that Hillary might serve as Dem Leader in the Senate for a few years and gear up for a run in 2012. Two problems: first, it's entirely possible that a Dem will win in 2008, and that would foreclose her options until 2016; second, by 2012, if the Democrats don't win in 2008, Barack Obama will be emerging, and Hillary would have someone who matches her in "star power" to contend with for the nomination. I just don't see this as having any validity. Hillary will run in 2008, and she will probably win the nomination. Whether she can take out whoever wins the Republican nomination is a much less settled question.
