Hillary! in 2008?

It's not too early to start talking about the race for president in 2008 is it? Of course not. This is the best article I've seen so far on who the contenders are for the Democrats, and even though Hillary! is the early favorite he figures she wont be able to win. Why? It would mean Bill would have to move back in to the White House...
Assuming the marriage is now stable, the unavoidable fact is that Bill Clinton would be moving back into the White House with a President Hillary Clinton. Surveys have consistently shown that both Clintons still bear many scars from their time at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., and what has been forgotten about their many controversies will be re-investigated and refreshed during the course of a long 2008 campaign. Only a decisive rejection of the Bush regime and GOP actions in Congress could convince the electorate to overlook its raw feelings about the Clintons and to revisit that chapter of American history--one that was closed with considerable, widespread relief in early 2001.
The article goes on to argue that a moderate will emerge to challenge Hillary!'s candidacy, but I have my doubts. The Dems seem bent on destroying their party a little more by taking it harder to the left. They have no moderate voices at all, except maybe Joe Leiberman (he's got Joe-mentum!). I still think they will nominate Hillary! and then get crushed at the polls. But could she be as bad a candidate as Kerry? Is that even possible?

    I liked that article. My guess is Richardson, he is moderate, experienced, and will be able to compete for more votes than Kerry did. Bayh should have ran in 2004.
