It's time for Hillary to make a decision right now on 08
Several people including Rudy have formed exploratory committees the first step to running for President.She should no longer keep silent on weather she's running. her excuse was she was concentrating on her senatorial race now that's over she in my opinion should decide now on running so other people who are waiting on her decision can either get in or not.

1. Committing too early means getting kicked around longer
She has good name recognition and shitloads of money.

Why would she be in a hurry to declare?

2. No way.
Unlike Repukes, Dems have no need to form a 2008 circular firing squad now. Let the Repukes do it and wait. When all that's left of them is ashes and ill-will, the Dems can announce when it is time, probably late next year.

The Repukes will be all shot to heck from their sniping at one another, and the Dems can enter the campaign at the usual time and pick off who ever is remaining.

4. Why?
She should announce only if and when she's ready. If anyone else wants to get in, they should get in.

6. The new dates for caucus and primaries require new tactics. The
early states will be for delegate blocks. Iowa will not select a candidate but an old fashion "king maker". They will also trim the nearly 20 pretenders to a handful of regional blocks. This convention will be a real convention.

Hillary may even stay out and work the delegates for the nomination..

7. There was an article
It said that her 'kitchen cabinet' team is currently deciding. There won't be an exploratory committee, she'll either run or not. And she won't run unless they are pretty certain she can win.

I'd say, since she probably can't win, she probably won't run.
