I think Hillary is pleased as punch that Dean is poised to get the nomination. I think she views the 2004 election as unwinnable for Democrats (otherwise she'd be running) and especially unwinnable for Dean. I think she wants Dean to go down in flames in November so that she can emerge from the ashes of the party as the only remaining figure of National stature in the Democratic party who hasn't been tarnished by an embarrassing election debacle.
She's been asked repeatedly whether or not she's going to run in 2004 and her answer is always the same: no, but maybe in 2008. Obviously she wouldn't run against an incumbent Democratic president in 2008. She must think that Democrats are going to lose in 2004.
