No offense but I think you are wrong. The only people that really know the things you listed are freepers and those like us. And unfortuneately, we are not a majority.

The media will start beating her drum the week after election day 2004. She will increasingly do things to appear moderate, tough, and defense friendly.

Am I not saying she is a shoe-in but I am saying she cannot be underestimated. I never thought for one minute they could win in 1992, highly doubted she could win the Senate seat in NY and I never dreamt their cohert Janet Napaitano could win the governor's seat here in "conservative" Arizona

Hillary was up against an incredibly weak candidate in New York. Also, NYC is a bastion of liberalism. Moreover Bush is very intelligent,very tough, and has "street brains" just like HillyBilly. She has an incredible amount of baggage, whereas Bush has none. She can't win.

"The media will start beating her drum the week after election day 2004. She will increasingly do things to appear moderate, tough, and defense friendly."

I have to agree with riri. Having said that, the media has changed drastically since 1992 and even 1996...primarily due to FNC. Hillary will need to enter enemy territory, one that didn't exist on a national scale during "her" first two terms as co-president.

Additionally, I believe at least 5% of the American public have wised up and crossed the line against The Clintons since; Monica, Impeachment, The Pardons, 9-11, GWB Presidency. The Clintons never got more than 49% of the vote, and I think their support has waned at least a few %'s from there.
