(CNN) Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar is not currently a favorite to win the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, but if she does, it will likely be because she can make the case for electability better than probably any other Democrat in the field. If Democrats want a candidate who represents the party's growing coastal, nonwhite, progressive and urban base, Klobuchar wouldn't appear to be the candidate to meet that desire. While there are many ways to measure electability, one of the better methods is to see how candidates performed in past elections. Unlike Biden, Klobuchar has a history of winning in a purple state. Klobuchar would also appeal to voters who want to see a woman elected president.
