Who's It Gonna Be?


Hillary is in.
So says this morning's Times.

In the wake of recent exploratory committee formations and outright declarations, throwing this one on the pile gives Democrats, in my opinion, a pretty damned decent set of options.

Biden, Edwards, Vilsack, Dodd, maybe Richardson, Clinton, and Obama. The depth of talent and appeal on this list could be significant. My hope is that it's so significant, and the range of views so broad, that in the aftermath of the Republican implosion, voters who traditionally sit on the other side of the aisle will pay as close attention to what these folks have to say (yes, including Clinton) as they do to their own party's meager offerings, so far made up of McCain and Giulliani, far as I know.

It looks like the race is begun. Hoo-boy.
