If Hillary is smart, she won't run.
Whoever takes the presidency in 2008 is going to inherit the biggest pile of shit ever, as Bush is the worst president in our history, leaving a huge pile of crap to be dealt with.
I am kind of hoping that a republican wins, with enough democrats to keep congress from being such lap dogs, because the republicans are going to be hated like no other for what they are doing/have done to this country.
It doesn't get noticed much, but the bloated budget just passed by a "conservative" had only 1 single democrat voting for it.....
I continue to believe that a populist, someone who is not a career politician, who is not part of the political machine, either republican or democrat, could rise up and win.
With a split vote between two hated candidates, i.e. Hillary and say McCain, an independent charismatic leader who could speak to the growing disenfranchised on both sides could squeak by.
Polls show that the people are disgusted with both parties, and the level of trust in career politicians is likely at an all time low....

Quote from Pabst:
I agree with you on Allen. Just by the fact that he polls so well as a relative unknown makes me think he's a quietly climbing momentum trade ready to break out.
Edwards though I doubt. While he certainly didn't hurt the Kerry ticket, he didn't particularly help it either. Now out of the Senate, he's also lost his soapbox. (Maybe a good thing for him though. Nothing slows down Prez candidates coming out of the Senate more than those pesky things called rollcall votes...)
He still had difficulty getting past the whole ambulance chasing PI lawyer biz. His resume is hardly inspiring. One lackluster term in the minority. Are his looks good or does he appear bitchy. Sort of a Quayle type thing. Shallow and cute doesn't cut it at that level.
Maybe Hillary is the 1992 Cuomo. Will she even run? She's young enough that she doesn't have to go in two years. I still say if she runs in '08 it's her nomination. Every other Dem is nothing more than a proxy for Bill among the non-lunatic left party faithful. She is Bill.
Not to mention Doc, IMO if the Dems go with a southerner like Gore or Edwards they still lose the South and miss out on some potential swing states. Hillary's the man. No pun intended.![]()
