Hillary will never run for pres
She saw the boos when she spoke after 9-11. She's anything but stupid. If she ran it would guarantee the most rabid of the right wing would come out in force. Much too polarizing. Now if you want a truly possible nominee, I submit Richard Durbin. Not well known on the national stage but neither was Bill Clinton.

Sad thing is
The sad things is, the way politics and campaigns are in the US now, being an unknown is an advantage. If you have any real history at all, it will be picked up and picked over to death.
Only someone that hasn't done much could have as consistant and boring a history as is needed to seem electable now.

Even sadder
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the DNC decides to run her anyway.

And the winner is.....
LBJ => Veep
Nixon => Veep
Ford => Veep
Carter => Governor
Reagan => Governor
Bush => Veep
Clinton => Governor
Bush II => Governor
The pattern here is pretty obvious. Don't nominate someone who's serving in the Senate or House of Representatives. They are considered tainted goods due to their voting record. This means that Hillary won't do. Go find some Governor who's never had to vote on a national issue. Heck, if it weren't for the 22nd amendment, Arnold would be a shoe-in for the Repubs.
The Dems are going to have to find some Governor from the midwest. Or they'll have to have Gore run again.

Has nothing to do with the 22nd Amendment
Try Article II Section 1 Clause 5: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. The 22nd amendment says Duh cannot run again. [Edit: typos] jb4
