2008 field getting clearer
According to an AP article it’s now looking more like a matter of when for Barack Obama to announce his candidacy than an if. He’s hiring staff on top of all the other steps he’s taken in recent months. Announcements by Obama, Clinton, and Richardson are due in the next month. Former DNC chair and current U.S. Senator Chris Dodd announced this past Thursday that he’s running. That brings us to up to four declared major candidates, one who has already dropped out, and possibly three more in the near future on the Democratic side.

Oh, man, I kind of forgot Dodd was on the face of the planet. That can’t be good for him as I’m Joe Sixpack.
I think it’ll boil down to Clinton/Obama/Edwards. Clinton is the odd man out there. I don’t see how she can compete against the charisma/charm/gravity of the other two. I look at Hillary and the U2 phrase goes through my mind “No new ideas in the house, every book has been read.” Obama is somewhat over-hyped. Edwards really is the real deal.
