As if we didn’t know:

“Six years after making history by winning a United States Senate seat as first lady, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton announced this morning that she was taking the first formal step to seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, a journey that would break yet more political barriers in her extraordinary and controversial career.

“I’m in,” she says in a statement on her new campaign Web site. “And I’m in to win.”

She’s in and has significant baggage to overcome, see here, and of course her “Greatest Hits” here.

While many giving her the nod for the lead, I believe that the significant baggage and the ghost of her husband’s scandal plagued tenure will be too difficult to overcome.

UPDATE I: Trouble already in the Primaries.
