Yep.

I long thought that there was a good possibility she wouldn't even run in '08.

(It's just a Republican wet dream that she's the default candidate.)

Still --- even if ultimately not running that year... it's in her own interests to keep an air of ambiguity about the prospects for as long as possible, as it maximizes her powers as a politician.

I would not count the lying,posturing poll driven bitch out,I would like to of course, I asume that she, while having no good vision for our country is just interested in more money and the power that comes with the office,I suspect if one watched her campaign closely as well as many other dems our enemies throughout the world are funneling cash to them...........sounds to awful to be true but but 8 years of her husband speaks volume about defending our country,remember the weenie waving cigar stuffer loathed the military and was meeting with our enemies long before he was in office..........

Computer scientists track prediction markets in run-up to US elections

As voters prepare for the polls Nov. 7, computer scientists at the University of Chicago and Yahoo! Research are calling attention to the uncanny track record that an Irish securities trading market has for accurately predicting the outcome of U.S. elections.

The computer scientists have devised Web sites that display continuously updated color maps predicting the outcome of the 2006 gubernatorial and senate races. The predictions are linked to the prices of securities at Tradesports.com, an Irish trading site that runs a market for each state with a gubernatorial or senate race.
