ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A drop in President Bush's poll numbers has
increased speculation about New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton
jumping into the 2004 Democratic presidential race - a notion the
former first lady rejected Friday.
``I am absolutely ruling it out,'' Clinton said during a visit
to the New York State Fair in Syracuse, N.Y. She had insisted in
recent months that she will not consider entering the race for
president this year even if that is what some Democrats want.
Fueling the speculation has been talk of a fall visit to Iowa,
site of the nomination's kickoff caucuses Jan. 19, but no
confirmation yet from her staff on whether Clinton will go.
A meeting of her fund-raising team next month is expected to
include at least some discussion of presidential politics - more
likely the 2008 race, according to some familiar with planning for
the session.

1. Hey, I just posted this, too

I also couldn't believe she'd run. I'm relieved to know she's not, frankly.

[Noordam]

2. I think that was a DLC lie

Holy Joe is not looking and I think they are looking for a replacement.

11. Repub. rumors

Peter Fenn said on Crossfire that he thought it was the repukes trying to raise more money for Bush.

3. I think that was a DLC lie

Holy Joe is not looking and I think they are looking for a replacement.

4. Apparently the rumors were false.

Maybe the news' shows talking heads, who broke the rumor, will explain why they believed the Capitol Hill staffers who supposedly leaked the rumors in the first place.

5. It's Rove rumor to distract from Kerry's week

of appearances. You think they want the news channels talking about what Kerry has to say next week?

6. Good

She would have a much better chance in '08 or '12 assuming she stays off chartered jets.

No sense in splitting up the Dem vote in this current election cycle.

7. Gee NEwsmax isn't reporting this!

They are the ones who even came out with a book telling everyone Hillary was running. Given how they are the first to let you know when Hillary burps, you'd think they would break this news to their readers so they can all breathe a sigh of relief after being whipped into a frenzy that sh ewas running.

8. Good

I like Hillary, but not for prez, not now. Actually, I'd like to see her run for NY governor, serve a couple of fantastic terms, and *then* run for prez. (Isn't there something about governors being more electable than senators, anyway?)

[diplomats]

9. Yes

the last sitting senator elected prez was JFK. It doesn't happen very often.

[RamboLiberal]

10. Good - glad to hear she's not running

I think this is going to be a great race among the Dems. We're going to have a lot of fun here.

12. Who is Richard Reeves and why did we believe him?

Evidently, he "broke" the story, according to Drudge...
