It isn't just rabid conservatives who can't turn loose of the notion that Hillary Clinton is running for president. Over on the Newsweek site, there's an article by Eleanor Clift that is headlined, "Why Hillary May Still Run For President." But if you actually read the article, Clift says…
I don't believe she'll run in 2004, and I'm sticking to my story. But she is leaving a crack open in the event President Bush's presidency collapses on a grander scale than we've seen so far, that Howard Dean implodes on his straight talk and that Clark with his quirky certitude turns out to be more Ross Perot than Dwight Eisenhower. Even then, Hillary would run into a buzz saw in New York because of her repeated pledge to serve out her full six years. Prematurely bolting for the presidency would play into the caricature of Hillary as a careerist and opportunist, more focused on her own ambition than what's good for her constituents.
So in all honesty, the headline should be almost the opposite: "Why Hillary Will Probably Not Run for President." But I guess that doesn't sound like as juicy a story.
