    Hil won't squelch chatter on '08 bid

    Hil won't squelch chatter on '08 bid
    New York Daily News ^| 11/05/04 | MAGGIE HABERMAN

    Sen. Hillary Clinton refused to squelch talk yesterday about whether she has her eyes on the White House after John Kerry's loss made her the Democrats' insta-front-runner for 2008.

    "Oh, I'm having the best time being the senator from New York," was all Clinton would say in her first appearance since Election Day when asked by reporters if she would be the new standard-bearer for the Democratic Party.

    Clinton spoke hours after her colleague, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) - who is often overshadowed by the former First Lady - called her the front-runner for '08. While pundits say her chances to run for President herself would have virtually disappeared with a Kerry victory, her allies say she's not thinking about that.

    She said yesterday she was "disappointed" by the loss.

    "I worked hard for Sen. Kerry," said Clinton, who visited several states for Kerry in the final week, although Team Kerry had been reluctant to tap her earlier because of her spotlight-stealing star power.

    "He ran a strong campaign," she said at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, where she arrived more than an hour late to introduce a lecture there.

    "He fell a little short, but it was a tremendous effort. I'm looking forward to having him back in the Senate, and we'll continue to work together," she said, adding that she was "pleased" that Bush said he plans to reach out to Dems.

    "In a second term I would hope that the President and his team would be more willing to listen to people with different ideas and different points of view, and to forge some common ground," she said.



    President Bush's win had Democrats scrambling to fix their damaged party. It also had political watchers gearing up for a potential rematch between Clinton and Rudy Giuliani.

    Giuliani ran against Clinton briefly for Senate in 2000, but he dropped out after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. But since Sept. 11, 2001, made him a national star, he's considered by many the best man to beat her in 2008.

    Giuliani, whose name has surfaced as a potential candidate for U.S. attorney general in Bush's next term, made no public appearances yesterday. His spokeswoman said he's happy with the job he has running his consulting firm.

    Clinton, one of her party's biggest stars, is up for reelection in 2006, and Republicans have made unseating her a priority, in part to cripple any potential presidential run by her. That has sparked speculation that she could be challenged by Gov. Pataki, or even Giuliani.

    hilary clinton should actually love george bush, since bush is quite the little socialist. every liberal welfare socialist program clinton had, bush only expanded and funded even more.

    you like to ignore that, but it's true. democrats should love george bush.

    No point in trying to prevent her from running Torog...shes gonna lose anyway. The American people in their subconscious mind are not gonna vote for a women, or at least I believe so. But...people could say the same about a Austrian president...so lets see what happens.. BTW... I CAN VOTE IN THE NEXT ELECTION!

    republicans must be worried about hillary there alredy spreading propganda against her and bush hasnt even been sworn in for his second term yet.
    The Edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over Hunter S. Thompson
