I agree, the thought of her becoming
President is frightening indeed. Though I suppose in all honestly, she's already
been President once...just didn't have the title to go with it.

That's fine with me if it backfires,
because the thought of President Hillary makes my blood run cold.
Although Tom should support her, she wants a national health care
system.

The only thing that makes sense is that she doesn't think
she
can beat Bush. There seems to be little doubt that she could
get her
parties nomination if she would have announced her
candidacy when she was
supposed to. I think it could back
fire on her for waiting till

WASHINGTON
– Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., may not enter the primaries, but she
has not given up hope of being the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004,
reports Newsweek.
Asked if she plans to compete for the nomination,
one of her closest friends and advisers reportedly said: "That depends on
what you mean by 'get into the
race.'"

"The scenario, as sketched by
this hard-boiled insider, calls for Clinton to make an entrance as healer
and unifier at the end of the primary season in May or June in the unlikely
– but not impossible – event that none of the existing contenders has
amassed a majority of the convention delegates," reports
Newsweek.
"You'd have to have Howard Dean not wrapping it up, and
being an angry, wounded front runner," this adviser said. "You'd have to
have two of the other challengers tearing each other apart in primary after
primary. Then Hillary could come in, well in advance of the convention, and
say, 'Look, somebody has to save the party.'"
Under party rules,
reports the news weekly, delegates are bound to vote at the convention for
the candidate under whose banner they were elected in the primaries – but
only on the first ballot. Party and elected officials – the so-called
super-delegates – are free to shift allegiance, and could form an instant
core of Clinton support.
Newsweek says if the campaign of Sen. Joe
Lieberman, D-Conn., fades, she might recruit his top pros – media handler
Mandy Grunwald and pollster Mark Penn.
Clinton was the star
attraction at last Saturday's Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner in Iowa, where
the first-in-the-nation caucuses will be held next January.
"It was
set up to make her the star," groused one campaign manager. She would have
been anyway, another Clinton insider said. "She still puts all the others in
the shade and they all know it. She has the star power and they don't.
Here's the way things stack up now," he said.
Former President
Clinton's recent public statements suggest he's been recruiting his wife to
challenge President Bush in 2004.
"That's really a decision for her
to make," he said earlier this fall, suggesting the decision has yet to be
made despite the senator's repeated insistence she would fill out her term
in New York.
Time magazine reports Clinton has been urging his wife
to get into the race and has been trying to figure out a way for her to be
able to rescind her past
comments.
