prediction thread: Who will declare they're in the race next?
I think Clark will jump in next, and will be soon, next two weeks or so.
I'm not sure why but it might be because of his late entry in'04

1. my prediction has always been that clark wouldn't run against hillary

the clintons and clark are too close.

I wouldn't have guessed that hillary would declare this early,
but the rise of obama will probably force her hand.

4. Hill hasn't declared yet
She'll suck up a week's worth of oxygen; dominate the Sunday talking heads, etc. I predict she jumps in sometime in the next seven days.

6. I doubt even that early.

She'll peak to soon if she does that. Expect it to be a month or more.

7. Kerry will announce his decision
and I think it will be that he will not run for President.

9. Kerry or Obama.
I don't think Hillary will announce right off the bat next. It'll be Kerry or Obama. Most likely Obama.

10. I think Obama
Hillary will not announce unless Obama does first. part of her strategy. She will hold out and hold out if he decides to wait to announce.
she'll be too afraid if she does first he'd give her about 2 days press coverage and then take it away from her by announcing.
She will wait about 2 weeks after he does if he decides to run

11. Obama
I think Clark is not going to run, but it doesn't have much to do with Hillary.

12. Probably Biden
I honestly don't see any advantage to Clinton or Obama announcing this early. The big money isn't going anywhere right now... they're gonna wait and see, and the big names won't have any problem getting the $$ when they DO announce.

They have at least another 6 months before they even have to start worrying.

13. Hillary
I don't think Clark will jump in ever and I'm wavering on Obama. I hope he doesn't run. I love Obama, but I'd rather he was in the Senate for a while.
