Reading the thread about who the Republican candidates are in 2008, I believe that it might be beneficial to have someone other than Cheney on the 2004 ticket, so there will be someone waiting in line to kick her butt good. The second 4 years should highlight the Vice President to get the name recognition.

The problem with this theory is 2006. In 2006 Hillary must decide to run for her Senate seat or to step down.

There is no doubt in my mind that she will not have a cakewalk if she runs for that seat in 2006. GWBush's numbers are up in NY, and GW's team has an uncanny knack for picking viable candidates in senatorial races. The entire republican party will probably BEG Rudy Guiliani to wait until 2006 for his Senate run.

I'd say it's 3:1 that she will lose if Guiliani is her opponent.

If she loses in NY, I don't think she can recover by the time 2008 rolls around. Anything Guiliani uses against her will be used against her again in the primaries by her democratic opponents.

What if she steps down in 2006 and decides to focus on running for the presidency? This might be her better option, but it takes her out of the limelight and enables other democrats to maneuver against her from their own offices. Despite popular legend, she is not loved by all wings of her party. Other centers of interest surrounding other politicians would brutalize her in the outyears. It's questionable if she could recover.

I'm putting my money on this logic. She will continue to undermine the current candidates as often as possible so that there will be a depression in the party about the viability of the current crop of 04 candidates. That will lead to her base crying for her to rescue the situation. The party's depression over the weakness of the other candidates will lessen their resolve to oppose her ascension. She will enter the field to "save" the party a "terrible embarrassment."

The real chink in this armor is the viability of any of the other candidates. If one of them actually does turn out to be a diamond in the rough, especially at debate time, then this strategy will be difficult to bring to fruition.

I'm betting on Joe Lieberman and on whichever candidate seems to be getting "picked on" the most for foibles rather than democratic party substance. At this point, that's either Kerry or Edwards.

Thanks for that link. That IS an interesting thought!

Of course, I would move to Australia before living through and more Clinton regimes.

After Hillary? Chelsea? < shivers >

...Do a couple of American Cities going -Up in Smoke- make the CLINTONS' 3rd Term Day..?

...Nuclear/Terrorism Expert MONSOOR IJAZ stated on National TV last Sunday that OSAMA bin LADEN is now toying with Communist North Korea to get ahold of their new Nuclear Devices to use against our Cities.

...Since HILLARY RODHAM, BILL CLINTON and ROGER CLINTON have been working with Communist North Korea and against US for years...

.."IS is SAFE..?"

It hasn't been safe since the 1992 Elections.

Just ask the Branch Davidians who were the first to perish at the hands of Domestic Terrorists.

...thru his failed attempt at a new Appointment to replace a suddenly dead Oxford University Chancellor ...

...as HILLARY RODHAM presses on to the Presidency of the United States in 2004 =

...A new Atlantic Alliance against US

NEVER FORGET

Note to Dick Morris: the bloom was NEVER on that rose.

Yeah, but the prick was...just not that often and not that recently. And now the two of them have separate residences.

The same thoughts have crossed my mind too, I do not want to even contemplate how it will be knowing that she already had access to over 1000 FBI Files of her political opponents, hired PI to harrass and intimidate witnesses and/or whistle blowers and never had to answer for her unlawfulness.
