It is kind of a sad commentary that all of the most qualified candidates are the ones being written off as second, third tier. Biden, Richardson, Dodd are all considered losers. Same thing happened last time with Graham who was a Senator and a Governor for a big swing state (FL). I am not sure if it is agism or what. This campaign the only candidate who climbed his way up (without buying his way up) has been Huckabee. But it seems to me that the days of a bunch candidates battling it out and the one with the best campaign wins are over. After a year we are still talking about the same group of higher name recognition candidates from the beginning for the most part.
