What kind of presidential candidate would Amy Klobuchar make?

The Iowa caucuses are more than a year away, but the field of democratic candidates is already shaping up. Should U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., run for president? How does she stack up against other likely contenders?

MPR News host Stephanie Curtis spoke with four guests about that: a reporter, a political scientist, a Republican strategist and a Democratic strategist.
