I think for the Democratic primary it will boil down to Mark Warner and John Edwards. Just my gut. At the moment, I don't see any way Hillary Clinton will not be one of the finalists. I agree with Matt Bai's thesis that the race is for the "Anyone but Hillary" tag. In that race, I really have no good idea. I suspect it will come from the portion of the party that is appalled by the large fund raising techniques of the last several decades and, thus, the way the party is then locked into not offending certain constituencies. The best way out of that in 04 was Howard Dean's internet fund raising work. We still don't have a good handle on how his attempts to turn the DNC into that, we don't know how that is going. I see/read/hear contradictory reports. Warner is the only one running as a "centrist" that has a chance, imho, mostly because he's unknown. Bayh is simply not going anywhere. In one sense the "Anyone but Hillary" crowd may just be waiting around for the point at which Obama feels comfortable running.
