Reply #107: Actually, that's not really true.

There's lots of people who want Hillary to run. DU is loaded with them--they're just outnumbered by the Clinton-haters. And I don't think that she would be as easy to beat as all that. She doesn't have the massive charisma and political skill that Bill does, but she's not exactly a pushover either. She won the senate seat in 2000 against strong opposition, and is expected to win reelection in a landslide this year despite all the money they're going to throw against her.

Realistically, I think she would be more likely to lose a primary than a general election. There are too many other Dem presidential contenders to make it easy, and rarely does the person with the biggest name end up getting the nod. Dean had the media buzz and the money going into 2004, but he still ended up getting pistol-whipped by Kerry starting with Iowa.
