Analysis: Clinton Enters Historic Race NewsMax.com Wires URL:http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2007/1/20/143450.shtml?s=lh Saturday, Jan. 20, 2007 WASHINGTON -- Hillary Rodham Clinton enters the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination with unrivaled political strengths and challenges to match, a former first lady turned senator, soon to be tested in a campaign unlike any other in American history. While Clinton seeks to become the first woman commander in chief, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama is in the early stages of what promises to be the most credible White House campaign ever by a black politician. One year before the first caucus and primary votes are cast, sheer star power sets them apart from the pack of contenders who will now begin to debate the war in Iraq, health care, federal deficits and more. "All things considered, she is a little bit more a front-runner than Senator Obama," said Geoff Garin, a Democratic pollster not aligned with any candidate. He put the odds at "better than 50-50 that the nominee will come from that pair." That is to the chagrin of New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, embarking on a bid to become the first Hispanic to preside from the Oval Office. Not to mention the white men in the race - a group that includes the party's 2004 vice presidential candidate, John Edwards, as well as Sens. Joseph Biden of Delaware and Chris Dodd of Connecticut, Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack and possibly others to follow. "Clinton is widely respected among Democratic voters of all stripes for being very smart and someone with important leadership qualities," Garin said. "Among Democrats the Clinton years are remembered as some of the best times, not just for the party but for the country."
