Clinton Lands Another Top Democratic Operative - The Fix
The over professionalizing of the different Presidential races is not best for the Dems. I don't think that insider candidates will be too successful in the 2008 election ala Kerry, Gore, and Mondale. The outsider mantle will play well this cycle because of the 8 years of Bush/Washington insider fatigue. That's why a candidate like Vilsack or Obama plays well (I know that Obama is in the Senate, but he's still fresh and not too tainted by DC).
If Clinton is serious about this 2008 thing, she should get out of DC as soon as possible and start fighting as an outsider. At the very least make sure that everything and anything for the Presidential race is outside the Beltway. She's got to start thinking about this like her husband, Carter, and Dukakis. The key is to appear like someone who's not part of the Washington apparatus.
