Gun to your head - Harris, Gillibrand or Klobuchar - The best candidate ?

Klobuchar is absolutely the weakest, both for the primary and the general. A quintessential paper tiger with very little charisma...I just can't see anyone getting excited about her.

I'd say Harris and Gillibrand are in a similar position, giving a slight edge to Harris for the primary and a slight edge to Gillibrand for the general. Harris might be more exciting to millennials and racial minorities, but Gillibrand has significantly more charisma and more crossover appeal. Both could come across as "coastal elites," but Gillibrand has a proven record of winning over moderate, rural upstaters. I agree that the Hillary comparisons will weaken her chances, but hopefully she can quash them by coming across as more progressive, more charismatic, and more likable (all of which, she is).

Gillibrand's the most personable by far. She has the most fight by far.

Harris, like Jerry Brown, rolls in by being the straight-shooting [which Hillary never came off as] smart one who gets the results.

Klobuchar doesn't seem to have much of anything.

RT. I'm always baffled by the hype around Klobuchar.
