She's actually done a great job as Senator, and she remains consistently moderate (not in itself a virtue, but as practiced by her it generally is) and sensible every time I've heard her open her mouth on policy issues, domestic or foreign.
I'd vote for her in a flash. And I think the Dems need lots more like her.

And she has quietly been moving to the center in preparation for 08. Got on the Armed Services Committee and staked out a very strident position on borders/immigration. If she runs, is it possible that she is not far enough left to win the nomination? I don't think so, and a Hillary presidency scares the shit out of me -
Of course, there is the little problem of her fundraising activities in the 2000 campaign.
