In the Times this weekend, perhaps the biggest understatement of the century was written--about Hillary Clinton:

"...she is a potentially divisive figure."

Um, she's potentially divisive, just as water is potentially wet. Anyway, the article says that friends of Hillary suggest she may not run for President in '08 because of this "potential" divisiveness. Instead, they say she'd seek to lead her party in the Senate.

Of course, I don't believe that a Clinton would voluntarily step away from power. However, since we're so far from '08, sometimes it's fun to speculate.

Read the whole article here, and let's hope these friends are right.
