No Hillary in '08

-- Because we need a liberal with mainstream appeal, not a centrist with a flaming-left reputation.

-- Because dynasty democracy is bad for America and incompatable with our spirit of risk-taking and openness.

-- Because everything she's done to position herself for '08 has smacked of triangulation and detracts from her role as a senator.

And because in 2008, the Bush brand will surely be tarnished and depleted. There will be nothing the Republicans will love more than a Hillary candidacy to give them an excuse to drag out the old Clinton routine and take attention off Bush's failures. We need a fresh face with no baggage.
