2008 Democratic Snapshot

Just for fun I'd like to put up a quick rundown of how I think things stand right now in the race for the Democratic nominee for President in 2008. I'd like to put up similar snapshots in the weeks and months ahead. Of course, it is too early for anything other than specualtion. So, this is all just my feeling on the current cast of characters.
