Hillary's biggest political mistake may be her undoing

Hmm. I like the thinking and I agree with it somewhat. If only we had a time machine to do this, or at least a bridge-wormhole (alternate dimension) to see it. It'd be interesting. I think Obama could have still appeared in the U.S. Senate, but much, much later.

How interesting that would have been if she was the Senator form Illinois. If she had not run in New York Republican would have probably won that seat. Rudy would have stayed in the race. I believe that Rudy stepped out of the race because he thought he might lose. If not Rudy, maybe Rick Lazio would have won. I do know that the Democrat party was searchin for someone to replace Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and did not have any good choices.

I strongly suspect, too, the power structure in Illinois was already ticked at her, and she would not even have gotten the nomination in Illinois. Hillary use to live in Illinois and to know her is to despise her. She had to go where they did not know her well. Remember, she could have run in Arkansas, too, but did not dare because she was not liked here.

That's a very interesting point. She also was considering Arkansas, or so I heard on TV a few nights ago. Of course, one can never tell, perhaps Obama would have run against her and defeated her in 2004. Annie

what i think is illinois likes Obama more than Hillary. She would have lost nomination in illinois she did a right thing by choosing Newyork. I dont think obama would have lost. Anyways she is out know it is only Obama and Mc Cain
