What makes Jim Webb a better presidential candidate than Hillary Clinton? I really dont have an answer for you on that, the former Virginia senator told NPR late last month. Where does Martin OMalley differ from Clinton as a leader? My mind is not even in the compare-contrast mode, OMalley told the New York Times. How does the bombastic Bernie Sanders feel about the candidate hes planning to challenge for the Democratic nomination? This is a woman I respect, clearly a very intelligent person, Sanders said Monday.

With enemies like these, who needs friends?

Story Continued Below

Time and time again, when invited to criticize Clinton, her potential Democratic primary rivals have ducked, deflected and dodged. Theyre trying to present themselves as viable alternatives to the daunting frontrunner without addressing the obvious question of how they stack up against her.

At the end of [interviews], somebody has to ask me a question about Hillary, and I try not to attack her. Usually, no matter what I say, it becomes Hillary Clinton, said Sanders, raising his arms in a sweeping gesture as if to indicate that Clintons name becomes the banner headline. What Im running on are the issues Her name recognition is about 10 times greater than mine, so if I run, it would take a lot of work getting around the country introducing myself to people.

With Elizabeth Warren continuing to resist entreaties to enter the race, liberals are still waiting for a serious challenger to Clinton to emerge if only to ensure the partys progressive wing gets the attention and respect it believes its views deserve. At this point in 2007, President Barack Obama was declaring his candidacy and drawing a contrast with Clinton on issues like the Iraq War and the politics of triangulation, pioneered by Clintons husband in the 1990s.

This time around, would-be Clinton spoilers are not so far along.

The outspoken Sanders deflected a question about Clinton posed by POLITICO late last month. All I know is if I run, Im not running against Hillary Clinton, protested the Vermont senator, who if he runs, almost certainly would be running against Clinton. Over the weekend, he did engage the prospective match-up more directly, telling MSNBC that it would be a real clash of ideas on issues like trade, climate change and infrastructure investment.

But at an event at the Brookings Institution this week, Sanders made it clear he had little interest in going after the former secretary of state.

It is not my style to trash people, he said.

Hillary Clinton's best frenemies

Priorities USA and American Bridge, two super PACs readying donors and research for an all-but-certain presidential run by Hillary Clinton, are at odds after a private dispute over fundraising turned public and acrimonious over the last several days, according to a source familiar with discussions between the two groups.

David Brock, longtime Clinton defender and the founder of pro-Clinton messaging group Correct the Record and liberal opposition research juggernaut American Bridge, resigned from his position on the board of Priorities USA, the leading pro-Clinton super PAC tasked with securing large donor contributions. His return to the board is uncertain as discussions between American Bridge and Priorities USA have been unable to resolve the estrangement, according to the source.

Brock quit the board Monday in protest of a New York Times story published Friday that questioned the fundraising practices of his groups, specifically that they pay a 12.5% commission to fundraising adviser Mary Pat Bonner for the donor loot she delivers. It's a practice Brock stands by.

In a letter to Priorities USA co-chairs Jim Messina -- who managed President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign -- and former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Brock alleged that current and former Priorities officials had pedaled the story to the Times to damage him. Those officials denied leaking the information, according to multiple sources.

Monday night, as the internal spat became public and created an aura of infighting and dysfunction around the pro-Clinton outside groups, Democrats close to Clinton intervened, urging both sides to make amends. Granholm and Brock released hurried statements pledging to hammer out their differences.

But on Tuesday, the feud was alive and well, as concerns surfaced that Priorities fundraising efforts are falling short, according to a story first reported by Politico.

Priorities fundraising goal for the first three months of 2015 is to secure up to 50 pledges of $1 million each from donors, a source familiar with the targets tells CNN. Almost halfway to the fundraising quarter, Priorities has secured less than 10 such pledges, due, the source says, to the PAC lacking a designated heavy-hitter who focuses full-time on fundraising.

"They're nowhere," the source told CNN. "It's terrible. They have to figure this out because you see what the Kochs are doing," referring to the Koch brothers, conservative billionaire mega-funders.

Priorities' overall goal is to raise $300-$500 million for 2016, but according to the source, there are some within Clinton's orbit that think the goal should be higher given the Clinton name and the family's fundraising ability. Some at Priorities, according to the source, are concerned that they will not be able meet expectations.

Despite public makeup, pro-Clinton groups are very much at odds

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) Elizabeth Warren may have some shortcomings as a politician but she doesnt need 200 experts to tell her what to think about inequality and the plight of the middle class.

The Massachusetts senator, who continues to appeal to Democratic progressives despite her repeated rejection of any interest in running for president, has grappled with these issues her whole career and has very clear and passionate convictions about what this country needs.

In the meantime, Hillary Clinton, now widely treated in the mainstream press as the presumptive Democratic nominee as though she were an incumbent, has reached out to 200 policy experts, the New York Times reports, to tell her how to address the anger about income inequality without overly vilifying the wealthy.

With due respect to all those experts, there is no way to do that. The wealthy in this country, and particularly the Wall Street bankers, have a certain amount of vilification coming to them and lets not quibble about what may be too much.

This weekend, the Worker Families Party in New York, a progressive party that has its own ballot line in the state, voted to urge Warren to run for president, becoming the latest liberal group to call for an alternative to Hillary Clinton.

The party, which played a role in building the momentum for Bill de Blasios successful run for New York mayor, had backed Clinton in her two campaigns for the senate in New York.

Now, however, the party considers a Warren run would be the single best shot at making sure working families issues are front and center in the national political debate, state director Bill Lipton told the New York Post.

While Clinton and her experts try to figure out a way to please everybody, the former secretary of state is assembling a juggernaut staff to further discourage Warren or any other potential challenger from even thinking about entering the race.

And to avoid some of the pratfalls of her 2008 presidential campaign, the Washington Posts Dan Balz notes approvingly, Clinton is going to make John Podesta the chairman of her campaign.

Podesta was Bill Clintons chief of staff in the White House and lately an adviser to President Barack Obama while in the meantime founding and running the Center for American Progress, a centrist think tank that has been scrambling to update Bill Clintons tired notions of triangulation for the 21st century.
