So lets imagine these are the Democrats who run.  They participate in the debates and are still in the race the day of the Iowa caucuses.

The candidates I picked were all born after 1954 and haven't been listed in any PPP polls yet.  They are however all listed on wikipedia's 2016 election page as potential candidates.

While I understand this is a very unlikely scenario, imagine that Hilary and Biden don't run, and some other favorites prove to be too early frontrunners (or choose not to run for whatever reason).  If these were the 11 candidates the Democrats were left with, who would win?
I have a feeling Amy Klobuchar could surprise since many would want a female candidate to win, and if she manages to win neighboring Iowa she could pull an Obama.

Would Gillibrand be able to win in Iowa though?  Who would win in Iowa if these were the candidates?

How does Gillibrand have stronger appeal to the base?  In the most recent poll, her favorability ratings among Democrats were 16% favorable, 16% unfavorable and 68% no opinion.  This is the same person who once claimed to be the most conservative Democrat in the House.
Can't we nominate a truly progressive woman?
