“Battle for New York. President Bush may have negated any attempts by HILLARY to run for President next year with his decision to hold the 2004 Republican convention in New York. This move puts Democrats on the defensive because it means the GOP will really try to win the state for the first time since 1984, and which would make it impossible for any Democrat to beat him…After all, is Republicans make it in New York, they can make it anywhere. In retrospect, Democrats in general and HILLARY in particular may end up regretting their party’s decision to hold their 2004 convention in Ted Kennedy’s Boston, a symbol of their liberal base.” (Hillary Watch, Human Events, 1/20)
