Villification is what they do best...
I think it's futile to look for a Democratic candidate who is not going to be villified by the Republicans. That is what they do. They have taken Gore and Kerry - two extremely boring centrist candidates - and turned them into Josef Stalin and Vladimir Lenin. There is no candidate that they won't do this to. If the Democrats somehow resurrected Ronald Reagan and got him to run as a Democrat, the Republicans would still find a way to turn him into the Great Beast.
One of things that no doubt drives them crazy about Bill Clinton is that they tried this on him, and he somehow managed to stay popular enough to win two presidential elections.
