2008 (Democratic primaries and general) if Barack Obama didn't run

[Blow by blow, the passion dies]

Let's say Barack Obama doesn't run in 2008, choosing to stay in the Senate due to inexperience. How would the primaries and general election go?

The primaries become more of a coronation for Hillary, and she wins by a slightly larger margin than Obama in the general

There's no doubt it's a Hillary sweep, so the interesting question is who fills the anti-Iraq War lane. That would probably be Edwards, but maybe Tom Daschle or Russ Feingold run too.
