Hillary seems to be the most likely candidate at this point to get the nomination, but I agree that she might not be able to win the general election, and I don't think Obama can either. I think there are enough people out there who simply won't vote for either of them - for various reasons, not the least of which might be that she is a she and he is black (and urban legends would have less knowledgable people believe he is also a muslim).
Edwards is still doing well in the polls and is getting support from the unions. Union endorsements don't mean all that much except that the union will often provide a lot of energetic volunteers for canvasing, working the phones, etc. Edwards is EXPECTED to win the SEIU endorsement, which could provide a boost. It's a strategy that *MAY* pay off before the early primaries are over. Unfortunately for John Edwards, Bill Richardson seems to be taking away some of Edwards' support. I do like Bill Richardson, but I don't like his view on Iraq. Pulling all of our troops out on day one of his administration is a BAD BAD BAD idea. He's also not a very good public speaker, and even though he is technically latino, he sounds like he's from the upper midwest - like he should be drinking beer and rooting for the Packers. I think it's fascinating that Edwards started the Universal Health Care debate - and some people who might otherwise lean democrat have said they'd never vote for Edwards because of his universal health care proposal. But *ALL* of the democratic candidates have some kind of Universal Health Care plan. And thankfully, none of them support a Canada-like "singler payer" program.
