If she does the full eight years as Secretary of State, the way she's doing it now, she'll have more relevant experience than most other candidates, the public will have had more time to forget about her less popular actions during Bill's presidency, and she'd have semi-incumbency advantage as long as Biden doesn't run as well. And there'll be still more desire then to have a female candidate, and she's the only real option on the Democratic side.
She's off - I think it was announced a while ago but got buried under the election stuff. Three years to carefully get ready for her bid for the White House (I'd imagine being Secretary of State would be a hindrance when trying to find the time to campaign in the primaries then election?)

Do you think Republicans got the message, or will it take one more unnecessary defeat? *NM*

Good points all. Somehow I don't really think they'll take them to heart any time soon, though...

A lot of people seem to think she will.

Biden hinted he was thinking about running. But he looks older, so that might benefit her.

Well there has been a slightly more important US politics story for the media to cover of late

Snowe? Seriously? Chris Christie is far more likely.

Chris Christie *was* far more likely. I expect his party to eat him alive after Sandy.

Yes, but Christie gained the respect of a lot of moderates for that.

Enough of them vote to ensure a Christie victory in a GOP primary.

Has been seen as not entirely Republican for quite a while, I think.

Dems went through this a generation ago when Reagan branded extremists and made "liberal" a slur

It will be interesting whether the GOPs financiers convince its primary voters you are right.
