29. This could be a possibility just like when
Bill Clinton and Dukakis ran, there were lots of delegates spread out. However, Even if Hillary has higher name recognition and can win NY and California, I think she is weak elsewhere. Edwards can fill the vacuum in the South.

I'm worried about Obama because even though he's a popular speaker, I don't know how many votes he can take from Hillary. He's truly a wildcard.

I think Richardson would have a very good chance in the west and in Nevada, but Edwards has support there also. I think the Hispanic factor is over-played and it won't make much of a difference in the primary or general election.

If polling for all 4 drop significantly, Gore will be tempted to enter the race, but I think he will still have a difficult time winning the general election - he'll have to turn Ohio or Florida.
