Hillary has to run

The weak Democratic bench makes almost necessary for Hillary Clinton to run for president.
Democrats who are ready for Hillary aren't ready for anyone else.
On the national level, the Democratic bench is weaker, or more overshadowed, than at any time in the past several decades. There are several reasons. The election disaster in 2010 wiped out many possibilities, especially at the gubernatorial level. More important, with two heavyweight camps -- President Barack Obama and the Clintons -- there is no political oxygen for anyone else.
Too bad Democrats are depending on Hillary being healthy enough for a long campaign.
