I agree that a race in 2008 would (probably- but we know from the B. Clinton years that some people will NEVER get over it) be less rancorous but, concerned as I and a lot of other people are as to the potential ramifications of a Bush win, isn't it quite possible that others are also deeply concerned? If the powers that be become convinced that Clinton was the only candidate that had a good chance to trim the shrub, don't you think heavy pressure would be brought to bear upon her to run?
