diamond in the rough that stands out to me, however, is Pete Buttigieg. My sense is he will get more votes than most of us anticipate, but I don't think he'll carry any and certainly not enough States at this stage in his career. But look out down the road as long as he keeps his nose clean.

Otherwise: Biden, Harris, Eliz Walker, Beto O, Booker, Klobuchar have it -- and even Sanders has his own crusty style of charisma. I'd put Gabbard in that group as well and Castro. Haven't seen enough of Hickenlooper or Inslee to say. Oh, and there's Gillibrand of course -- not sure she has enough to overcome her Franken disaster.
