Hillary is the one Democrat who could motivate the Right to turn out in massive numbers and almost guarantee a Republican victory. No way she wins- landslide, squeaker, or otherwise. Obama has great charisma, a great story, and momentum, but almost no experience at the national level. A great guy, but a long shot this time around.
Richardson lacks recent exposure at the national level, but if he could gain some exposure and momentum, he is the best Democrat in the race so far in terms of appealing to moderates in the general election. Americans are far more likely to elect a state governor than a US Senator to the Presidency- just a fact of life.
