That is the question, and, as I argued in post #4, above, her ability to raise money is the first and foremost indicator of her chances of success.

Honestly, though, I think it's all up to President Obama. He gets to choose whom he wants to inherit his money-making machine. Whomever he chooses is likely to win the nomination.
