The article basically says Clinton has it in the bag if she decides to run. She's certainly better than the other possibilities.
In the meantime, a new generation of ambitious Democrats, including Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, are set to become increasingly visible in what have thus far been groundwork-laying steps toward potential campaigns of their own.
And as trips to Iowa and New Hampshire make their way onto potential candidates’ schedules with greater regularity, the man who is technically next in line for the job of Democratic standard-bearer -- Vice President Joe Biden -- figures to become even more candid about his previously stated presidential ambitions.
In the end, the Democratic field is unlikely to wait for Clinton.
“She could mobilize support quicker than most, but presidential cycles are starting earlier and earlier, and you need a good 18 months to gear it all up, even as a front-runner,” Hattaway said. “A candidate with her following and stature can gear that infrastructure up more quickly than others, but not overnight.”
