The Clinton's are incredible politicians - make no mistake, if you run against them you are in for the fight of your life. All false Provo do aside, Billary scares the hell out of Republicans - why you say, because she could win where almost no other Democrat has a chance. The swing vote in the US is female, how many women would like to see a female president, even if it has to be Hillary. It only takes a swing of 5% to change the result.
The Clinton's have a Teflon persona that we haven’t seen since Reagan. Her bag man is under investigation, she had those funny and successful trades, those billing issues with the Rose law firm, all those shady pardons (paid for by her brother) and none of it sticks. Ever wonder what happened to Vince Foster or with the travel office. The Clinton's have a shit streak a mile long behind them and it never sticks.
If she runs (and we should know in 06 when she has to run for her Senate seat) it will make all US politics to date look like Father Knows Best. It will be the meanest, no holds campaign of campaigns. Republican's are already getting ready for her running, no one else on the Democrats bench worries them at all - it reads like the pitching staff at the Durham Bulls.
