Tote Board Odds Now List Hillary Clinton as Democratic Favorite for Nomination
For the first time since the column began last February,
Hillary Clinton is now listed as the favorite for the Democratic nomination. To be sure, we still rate Barack Obama's chances much more highly than virtually any other source out there. He continues to possess great advantages -- not the least of which is a ton of cash that he'll be able to spend freely in the coming months. And there's still time, despite what much of the press is saying.
But Obama hasn't taken advantage of his strengths nearly as much as Clinton has. To win, he'll have to do something differently than he's doing now.
