For all her faults, I think she is more exciting than Kerry. Kerry was a good senator and a good secretary of state but he is just not that exciting of a speaker.

Of course, I still believe that some pro-Clinton forces in the party (not the Clintons themselves) either sabotaged Kerry or made half-hearted attempts to get him elected. As far as I know, there is nobody powerful waiting in the wings for 2020.
