The Washington Post evaluates Hillary Clinton’s presidential ambitions today through material from the new book, “The Survivor: Bill Clinton in the White House.”

The Post notes while Clinton has not formally announced her 2008 intentions, aides privately cite strong polling numbers and Clinton will not pledge to serve a full-term in her 2006 Senate re-election run while her “tenacity in her personal and political life has left her the most formidable figure by far in Democratic politics — and in position to make history as the first woman to become president if she runs and wins in 2008.”
