It is a very crowded field without a likely leader. Assuming Clark fades after a few weeks or months, it is likely no one will get anywhere near the amount of delegates to win. Probably only 2-3 will last until the end but the delegates will probably be scattered broadly. In that case, the guy who wins is the one who gets endorsed by the most party powers holding delegates, especially the also-rans. Someone like Lieberman could decide who the nominee is for instance if he controls 15% of the delegates and no one else has more than 35%. Maybe even someone like Edwards with 5% of the delegates. Yes, Kerry would love to be #1 all the way but realistically, he can also win by being a strong #2 and the most logical, acceptable choice to take on Bush. Since the DNC and none of the major candidates like Dean as a nominee, then Kerry has only to beat Clark, assuming Gephardt fades, as I believe he will in the end
