Just wanted your opinion on the issue. From what I read in today's NY Times, it seems like a run is quite likely in her immediate plans. He also thinks it is very likely that McCain will not run either. Due mostly to his age and health combined with his wife's health issues. I thougth it seemed a bit weak, too.

More to the point: it is possible that she could both run for President, and if she fails, still be Senator for life. As such, I am not sure that that argument flies. I would respond as following:

More to the point: it is possible that she could both run for President, and if she fails, still be Senator for life. As such, I am not sure that that argument flies.

That running for president was a difficult task, but that should could probably remain a New York Senator for life. That Bill might be ready to return to the White House, but that she was not. He also added that he was really sticking his neck out by making that prediction.

If she waits until 2024 there might be a Dem incumbent running for reelection and in 2024 she will be almost 70. It is, in my opinion, now or never.

I know that the expectation is definitely there, but I know another polisci professor who doesn't think she will. What do you think? Do you believe that Hillary will actually run this time?

Vislack is only the first Dem to make it official. Duncan Hunter has already announced on the Republican side. Actually there are <a href="http://cayankee.blogs.com/cayankee/2006/10/virginia_senato.html" rel="nofollow">27 potential candidates</a>.

Running as a Senator remains difficult, and running as a prominent Senator (named Clinton) will be even more difficult. Watch this guy; he’ll make a good showing of it.
