Scares Me, Too!
Unfortunately, my gut feel is that she WILL run, and she WILL win. Not in '04, I agree, and maybe not even in '08, but bet your bottom dollar, it will happen.
I don't like her (or her husband either), and have never in my 49 years voted Democrat for any public office. But... I know an awful lot of people who would vote for her today, in a heartbeat, no questions asked.
She's a woman (I think).
She's a Democrat.
She's a wife of a former President.
She's a Liberal.
She's sly and sneaky and smart. She'll prime the pump for the next few years, no matter how long it takes, and she'll run and she'll win.
And we'll lose. Not just gun-owners, either. The freedom of the press will take a hit, too. I'll tell you, friends, I've never been active in campaigning for somebody before, but when she runs I'll be doing whatever I can for her opponent. Money, time, whatever. At least that way if she wins, I can honestly look at myself in the mirror (and tell everyone else when they start bemoaning the fact that they are losing something, anything that they hold dear about the United States of America) and say "I did everything I could to stop her."
I am scared of her. Does it show?
