Various Democrat blogs around Iowa (Madman, Political Forecast, Common Iowan, and Drew Miller) have a Hot / Warm / Cold classification for their level of interest in particular presidential nominees.
Of these four, the only one I can agree with is The Madman's. The rest all have Al Gore as HOT, which shows how jaded they are.
Interesting thing: Hillary comes off as mostly cold in almost all of the picks.
The Madman's list is intriguing, mostly because he goes to the trouble of explaining why he put so-and-so where he did.
I don't understand why the others picked Evan Bayh as COLD. The guy's been a Governor and a Senator. Bayh doesn't have the baggage of being a failed nominee or failed candidate in the past. He doesn't have huge negatives and enjoys tremendous popularity in his home (Red) state. He may be slightly retarded, but that surely trumps bitchy, angry, or being an empty suit, right?
