Will Hillary Run For Re-Election to the Senate?

Kitty pointed me to this John Podhoretz column speculating that Hillary might decide not to stand for her Senate seat in 2006.

"You miss all those votes" if you try for the party's presidential nomination while still serving in the Senate, the official said. And, the official added, you don't want to be put in the position in which John Kerry found himself in 2003, when the Massachusetts senator felt compelled to vote against the $87 billion package of reconstruction and military aid for Iraq and Afghanistan because he was fighting for his life against the antiwar candidate Howard Dean.

Now you know how it is; it's easy to speculate now that Hillary might not run; it fills up a column now and nobody will remember a year from now if she does decide to run.
