Personally, I don't like her. Both she and her husband have no respect for the voters (as evidenced by the blatant lies told by each) and I think they are more interested in their own status than they are in the ideals which they tout (whatever happened to that healthcare reform?).
I think she is more out of touch with "real" people than her husband and isn't nearly as personable or communicative. That said, I don't think she'll be able to pull off a run for the White House.
That doesn't mean she isn't going to try. I still believe there is a chance that she will throw her hat into the next Presidential race after the current field narrows a bit and the candidates have beaten each other up.
Both she, her husband, and their political team have accomplished incredible things in the realm of politics. Bill was not considered a "real" candidate even by his own party when he began his Presidential campaign against Bush Sr. Most of the Democrats with designs on the White House believed Bush to be unbeatable and were willing to hold off till the next election. Bill and his political machine created a message that the public bought and the Bush admin's ability to answer their charges was severely lacking. The current Bush admin is not the same. They've learned from that experience and it will be very difficult for the Dems to dislodge them.
Yeah yeah, I know, Hillary has said she is going to last out the term as NY Senator. Yada yada yada. Bill said the same thing as governor of Arkansas. The strategy used in the NJ Senate race a year or two ago (where Robert Toricelli ran up until election day was virtually upon us and a new candidate was thrown into the mix--Lautenberg-) is one that will be used again. Whether it happens in this election or another upcoming one, it was successful and I'm sure there are political consultants looking to use it again.
