White House 2008 Rankings

Clinton (D) continues to float atop the sea Democratic hopefuls (even giving a series of policy speeches), but there's no hint of other candidates rolling over yet either (see "On The Trail" for more on that topic). In fact, a new but familiar face appears in our Democratic top tier this month. As for Republicans, there's still John McCain and, well, John McCain.

These rankings are based on a number of factors, including: organization, money, buzz and polling.

As always, these rankings are done in coordination with Hotline Associate Editor Marc Ambinder, who should be considered the co-author of the text.
