Kathryn – If you mean that Hillary seems like the only candidate who can plausibly win the Democratic nomination, that’s one thing. But I think the Democratic field is actually pretty good. If you discount all of the things that conservatives rightly tend not to discount among liberals — i.e. the fact they are liberals — I think that Biden, Richardson and Dodd certainly have the resumes to be “plausible” presidents. Indeed, their resumes are pretty competitive with many of the Republicans. The interesting thing is that the two candidates with the least serious resumes, are the closest competitors. Edwards was a one-term relatively undistinguished senator who could not have been re-elected in his own state. Obama isn’t even a one-termer.
