Connect Hillary to the Bill Clinton presidency and you have a virtual incumbent. The GOP would love to deflect attention from Bush and make the '08 election a referendum on Hillary and - by extension - the less attractive aspects of Bill Clinton's presidency such as Monica, the ineffective search and pursuit of terrorism in general and Bin Laden in particular, the Lincoln bedroom overnight reservations for wealthy donors, the mysterious death of White House aide Vincent Foster, and so on. The left may also present challenges. Ralph Nader, on one of those Sunday morning talk shows a few months ago, strongly suggested - but did not state outright - his possibly running for Prez in '08 were Hillary the Democratic nominee. Just came across something called Democratic Courage and - happily - see it posted on your board (You're on game, kid-o!) If Obama were the Democratic nominee then the GOP need not worry as rampant racism in the American electorate would assure them victory.
