15 Most Likely Democrats

[AuH2O]

Alright, so it's time to set the Democrat field for my little experiment. I'll make my suggestion for 15 (reduced from 25 on advice from nick and others) but I'm open to changes.


Hillary Clinton

Evan Bayh

Mark Warner

Joe Biden

John Kerry

John Edwards

Wesley Clark

Russ Feingold

Tom Vilsack

Ed Rendell

Mike Easley

Bill Richardson

Janet Napolitano

Brad Henry

Kathleen Sebelius

Dog I don't need advice on what they should do, I'm not them. I'm just trying to come up with the top 15 Democrats so I can implement my rating system.

[AuH2O]

Gore should be on mine, I'll add him.

Bredesen does not even look like a remote possibility.

Lincoln seems less likely than Henry or Sebelius, though neither of them are exactly front-runners either.

[AuH2O]

ok maybe I need to say it again, perhaps I was unclear.

Likely NOMINEES, not people that want to run.

Al Sharpton's odds of winning the Democratic nomination are the same as mine: zero. So he should never be included in any kind of limited list such as the one I hope to have.

Also, it not necessary to keep repeating the ones we all agree on.

My understanding of Bredesen, who posters are still mentioning, is that he is hated by even TN Democrats and is perhaps to the right of many Republicans on some fiscal issues. How that equals a Democratic nomination to President I can't fathom, especially since he has no connections, no personal fortune I know of, and isn't even good looking or a brilliant speaker.

He's definitely not in the top 15 imho.

um its a slang term meant to be endearing i.e. this is my dog = this is my friend.

There was nothing insulting in my post at all, I'm surprised you didn't get it though.

[AuH2O]

hmm, that's a good point. I didn't know he was that reluctant to.. I dunno, be a politician?
