Hillary Is Running for President Next Year, Not 2008
In Sen. Hillary Clinton’s attack on President Bush’s economic policies, comparing him to Herbert Hoover, she was staking out her claim to the Democrats' 2004 presidential nomination, says radio talk show host and nationally syndicated columnist Michael Reagan.
President Ronald Reagan’s oldest son, a NewsMax Magazine columnist, writes that Hillary’s speech at a Democrat function in Connecticut "is a dead giveaway to the fact that she’s going after the Democrat presidential nomination next year – not in 2008 as all the so-called experts have been predicting."
In his syndicated column released today, Reagan wrote that Hillary looked around "at the carnival of fools now in the running, and recognized just what fools they are.
Reagan based his prediction on two factors that must have been obvious to Hillary:
She and her husband still control the Democrat party, and therefore control the purse strings, giving her a war chest none of the other candidates can match. (And then there's her remarkable talent for raising money, most of which benefits herself, not her fellow Democrat pols.)
She and Bill have beaten one Bush before, back in 1992, and she believes they can beat another one in 2004 by using the same issue: It’s the economy, stupid.
"What the people in Connecticut saw the other night in her speech was basically the first announcement of her 2004 presidential campaign," Reagan wrote.

Conservatives React to Hillary Shriekfest
The mainstream press is pretending not to notice Hillary Clinton's shrieking tirade against President Bush in Connecticut Monday night, where she bellowed that she was "sick and tired" of Bush supporters questioning the patriotism of Democrats who criticized the commander in chief while troops were in harm's way.
But conservative commentators had a field day with the former first lady's rhetorical meltdown, with most suggesting that it revealed "the real Hillary."
Talk radio host Michael Reagan posited that for those who know Hillary best, her Monday night tantrum was nothing new.
"I think what we heard last night at that speech was probably what the ushers in the White House were hearing for eight years when Hillary would talk to Bill Clinton," he told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."
Former White House insider Dick Morris, who saw the undiluted Hillary up close and personal for two decades, echoed that sentiment, telling the Fox News duo, "She sounds like she's talking to Bill."
Morris said that even Hillary's senior staff feared her temper and sometimes drew straws to see which unfortunate member of the group would have to deliver bad news to the Screamer-in-Chief.
"We would all sit around and we would debate who would go in and put the bell on the cat's tail and give Hillary advice," recalled the top Clinton adviser. "The only person that could do it was [Hillary's chief of staff] Maggie Williams and that was the purpose she served on the staff."
Morris said the African-American Williams "was the only one who could give Hillary advice without getting scalped for it." Williams was so trusted that Hillary now has her keeping an eye on hubby Bill as chief of staff of his Harlem office.
Still, other conservatives reacted to Sen. Clinton's rant on personal terms, going so far as to say it explained why Bill Clinton is, as they say in the South, "a hard dog to keep on the porch."
Quipped KABC-LA radio host Al Rantel Tuesday night after playing the Hillary audio for his audience, "Imagine waking up next to that every morning."

I doubt she would win even if she did run. The Dems always focus on the economy while they let terrorist after terrorist bombings happen. Republican Presidents can't focus on the economy for having to clean up the Dems mess. History proves that. Clinton let the '98 WTC bombing go and he let the bombing of the USS Cole go too. Not to mention all those embassy bombings as well. Hillary is NO different from her sax playing playboy hubby of hers!!
