Hilary, Gephardt, Daschle, Kerry, Edwards, Lieberman, Gore--all represent the Dem Leadership Council that has seriously lost the Democrats power BIG TIME. The party is now in free floating anxiety, having lost both long time leaders of the House and Senate in the past year.

That group of conservative Dems holds no political credibility anymore in the party. I really can't see anyone from that group waging a successful campaign in 2008. The party is desperate for a thousand Obamas.
