Ridiculous. Warren and Cuomo are chomping at the bit. Kerry, Biden and Al Gore could easily ride back in, and at least one will I think. That’s five candidates other than Hillary who would raise $100mm inside two weeks and start out with a huge name recognition and organizational advantage over any Republican likely other than Jeb Bush. And that’s saying nothing about active and potential candidates in the second tier: O’Malley, Insley, McAuliffe, Castro, etc.
Not only are Gore and Kerry still eligible, but so are Carter and Dukakis. There’s a lot of star talent in that party.
