Yes everyone with the announcement of Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico to the formed an exploratory committee list the Democratic side just went from cozy to crowded in my opinion.

With that said the majority of the media I have seen has focused on Clinton vs. Obama and the fact that so many minorities (the Hispanic Richardson on that list) will be running on the Democratic ticket. I will say this. If people will be looking for an alternative to the current administration in 2008 as they did in 2006 then both physically and increasingly verbally they just might find that striking alternative in the Democratic ticket.

Now the question is, which one will win out in the brutal primary season and will the damage they incurred there help or hurt them in a general election?
