"Former Senator John Edwards has taken to blaming $100 oil on corporate greed. And if in fact he does better than expected, and it looks as though he may gain momentum into New Hampshire, it might begin to capture Wall Street's attention, and they might begin to think 'well, perhaps we should pay attention because the political zeitgeist is moving a little bit to the left and could compound some worries as we move perhaps into a recession in the spring'." he says of Edwards.
Says Edwards has to finish first or second in Iowa.
"But I think Mrs. Clinton is probably - the, uh, the you know - The Establishment candidate. Uh, she's a known quantity, she is the moderate in the group..."
Reporter interrupts: "She's from New York."
Gabriel: "She's from New York. She's positioned herself well. And that - that - concept of triangulation which was so vintage, uh era - you know, Clinton era - in the 1990s would be alive and well in her Administration and the kind of people that she would bring into Government, I think there would be a comfort level about the next generation of Robert Rubins, uh, and uh Mr. Altman and others that she would bring into the Government."
