"...One thing this proves is that SHE IS NOT GOING TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT! Most Democreeps don't want any of the Senators being for the war. That would be a mark against her if she ran and she knows that...."

May I respectfully say that you could not be more wrong. Our dear Hillary! is one ever coniving cookie. Her instincts tell her that she should delay her run for the presidency until 2008. But she is ever watching the scene to spy an opening that she might be able to exploit at an earlier date.

At the moment, she sees the race for her party's presidential nomination dissolving before her eyes. The putative front runner, John Kerry, is not gaining traction. The field is sprouting not one but two Sister Soulja's to skewer in the form of Howard Dean and the Rev. Sharpton. And, the one candidate from the Party's "center" is tracking left: Joe Lieberman. There is a HUGE opportunity to enter the race from the right here.

It is easy to forget that the Hildebeast's husband was the candidate of the Democratic right in 1992. It seems stunning, but it was a brilliant tactic. The Clintons had spent 20 years developing and husbanding their Left Wing bone fides. Hillary devoted her college years at Wellesley and at Yale to cultivating Communist and hard left contacts (who could help her in the short run) and promising stars of the next generation of left wing leaders who would help her in the long run. Bill's Left Wing political qualifications are well known.

With their Left Wing base solidly laid, they were well positioned to run publicly to the right (as the standard bearers of the Democratic Leadership Counsel) while winking at their Left Wing friends to let them know that it was all for show. It worked like a charm.

It is fascinating to recall that as president, WJC was given credit by many conservatives for having pulled his party to the right (support for a balanced budget, free trade, et al). If this were true, would Hillary now have this historic opportunity to run as the Democratic moderate only two years after she vacated the West Wing?

Hillary is a conservative in one sense. She is conservative in as much as she prefers to stick to the TRIED AND TRUE. She's no slick swashbuckling, risk taker like her "husband." The run to the right, wink at the left strategy worked before, you can bet she'll use it again.

May God be with us.

Hillary doesn't have much choice but to reinforce the "party" statement of "regime change" which she stated in a "Russert" interview a few months back.

Not only that, it switches the viewer from the Estrada nomination to "todays big news" and her "Armed Services Committee".

Imagine her sitting on that committee, with men with "brains" so far beyond her, it's pathetic. She must feel like an ordinary first grader trying to grasp the "minds" of MIT Professors.

Oh I don't know about 2008 but she definitely won't run in 2004! I know by lurking around the democreep chat rooms the presidential candidates stack up with the democreeps and Hillary is not a viable candidate for them. Apparently they don't want someone with too much baggage that she will be scrutinized in everything she does. They also are very angry at her and all the democreeps who voted for Bush's war resolution. The one they really like now is DEAN!! Kerry is about 50/50 with the democreeps. Lieberman is a joke as far as they are concerned. As far as 2008 - we will see - you could be right about her running. Right now Hillary has to build up power and the only way she can do that is to keep her Senate Seat and work on that.
