I think that most Dems are beginning to realize that Hillary might be the only Democratic candidate that could lose. Hubby, while being a great asset also brings baggage. Obama has some momentum (even tho SC is not that important) and unless he does something incredibly stupid he appears to have the upper hand right now. His lack of a record is probably an advantage during a time when our nation's leadership and direction apears to be so screwed up.
The GOP is in a similar quagmire. McCain is probably the most likely to have a chance of actually winning the election except that he is viewed as a watered down version of Bush. And that equals loser. Romney has the bucks and in a normal presidential election would far and away be the GOP insider favorite because of business background. And like Obama he benefits by not being a Washington insider and being able to distance himself from President Bush. It would be interesting to see just how far he might take that tack if he gets the GOP bid. One of his biggest flaws might be the perception that he not only resembles John Kerry but that he acts like him.
