You’ve got to hand it to her. Hillary Clinton does not quit. She toughed out the rough end of her husband’s presidency, and dived in herself to become a popular and respected US Senator from New York.

Now, she’s built a campaign like few others in history – with its huge war chest, big brain trust, relentless organization, and, of course, Bill.

But for all that, the Hillary ‘08 campaign is no cakewalk. Obama wants to “turn the page.” Edwards is leading in Iowa polls. Two big biographies are about to land, and who knows what they’ll say. Al Gore is in the wings.
