The 10 Most Dangerous Democratic Candidates In 2008  —  Just for the fun of it, I decided to put together a list of the Democratic candidates who'd have the best chance to beat a GOP nominee in 2008.  This list is based purely on electability, not on the likelihood the candidate will take the nomination.
