Hillary speaks

Hillary Clinton is keeping her powder dry regarding a possible presidential run next year, but she sounds more interested in 2008. If Bush's poll ratings hold and the economy continues to improve, she'll wait until the way seems clear. Who among the current crop of GOPers could compete? Hard to see a good candidate right now -- mediocrity seems rampant.

Hillary Clinton has suggested that she may run for US president in 2008 but would stay out of the campaign for next year, in an interview with a German magazine released yesterday.

Asked by Bunte magazine why she was not standing in 2004, a race already well under way, the New York senator said she was happy with her job.

But people are disappointed she was not competing, she was told.

"I know. Well, perhaps I'll do it next time around," she replied.
