Steve Huntley raises some excellent points in regard to a Hilary candidacy in 2008.

In reference to her criticism of Petraeus----------

"The timing wasn't auspicious, either. Her questioning of Petraeus came a day after the radical MoveOn.org organization, founded to oppose the impeachment of Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal by calling on the country to "move on" beyond it, ran a repugnant full-page ad in the New York Times accusing Petraeus of cooking the Iraq numbers so falsely that he deserved to be called "General Betray Us." Clinton was challenging the credibility of a four-star, highly decorated and well-regarded military officer at the same time the feverishly anti-war crowd was calling him a traitor."

These are the kind of things that she cannot run from if she is the Presidential candidate.
