I think Susan Estrich is right. Hillary will run in 2004. That's been my opinion for a long time.

No one thought she could win New York, but she did, with a combination of ruthless dirty tricks and the assiduous support of the press. Winning the U.S. will be harder, but no one ever said that this ***** lacks ambition or a very high opinion of herself.

Now's the time. The machine is in place, and if she waits another four years she risks losing control of the party and the press. The press always wants results NOW. They desperately want to nail Bush. I can't see them staying faithful to the clinton for five more years.

Can't agree...sorry...she can't run now, because there are two many vairables she can't control..right up to the election..suppose the OBL or Saddam, or a WMD cache is dicsovered, say, after Labor Day next year....wanna give a fig for any Dems chance?...Hillary is concerned about Dean, because the battle now is for control of the DNC and the entire party apparatus....look...Dean is a zealot...and a hard ass....the day after he gets the nomination, McAuliffe is out..and Dean sends his own team in...and these guys will fight to hang on to power...

It helped that the idiot she was running against ran a truly awful campaign.

But when she started her campaign in New York, she was up against a highly popular Rudy Guiliani. She likes to go up against heavy weights. It's great for her monstrous ego. She'll run.
