I guess I'm the only person that believes that she isn't going to run for President or if she does, she won't go very far. I have nothing to base this on, however.

Hillary started her campaign the day Bill was elected. It just heated up the day she announced for Senator. (the first time)

If anyone thinks Hillary is a Senator because she wants to be a Senator they are sorely naive,

As a someone who lives in Rochester, I would be interested in seeing Guliani running for the Govenor's mansion and Patali running for the Senate.
