IMO, Edwards is the front runner if he wants it. Has he declared?
LOL, you are joking right? He has no chance in he!! and would only get 10 to 20% support.

I think Obama will beat her in the primaries.
I don't think he will run against the Clintons which is what he would be doing. I also read that he has alot in is past which has not been really talked about.

Her best asset by far is Bill. Don't underestimate his impact when he gets out there and campaigns for her.
Here's an article that kind of addresses that very subject. How her campaign handles Bill will be interesting to see. If he stands on stage next to her, he kind of steals the spotlight. If he goes out and campaigns separately from her, it seems like he's running for a third term. And if he lays low, people start wondering what's going on with their marriage. I'm sure they can work through that stuff. But Obama has one distinct advantage: he wasn't in Congress when the US invaded Iraq. Hilary is on record supporting the invasion at the time; Obama's not. She'll have to reckon with the far left side of her party in the primaries over that issue.

In the primaries, probably. But hold an election between Edwards, Clinton, & Obama and I bet Edwards would come out on top when including more than just those who vote in the Democratic primaries. ;)

:confused:
He is running against her. I guess you didn't hear that he announced his intention to run for president?

Isn't that a moot point?
If he can't make it out of the primaries, he essentially can't run. According to polls, it's going to come down to Obama and Hilary, nobody else has a snowball's chance from the dems' side.

Yeah, pretty much. Showcases the fatal flaw in the Dems' presidential strategy (lack of?), though.

It's not entirely out of the question that Obama and Hill could end up on the same ticket. Probably unlikely, but it could happen.

Yeah that's true. My feeling is that if Hilary wins, she won't stand a chance against either McCain or Guiliani. She's too polarizing.
If Obama wins, he might be able to do it on his star power factor. But, as sad as it is to say, there are voters out there who won't consider him because of his race. His hurdles will be slightly higher than anyone else's.

anyone who votes for her should be shot.
