So are people happy now with the breadth of the Democratic Primary field?

[brooklynite]

You have Clinton, Webb, O'Malley and Chafee. The only person stopping Bernie Sanders from getting in is Bernie Sanders.

[jeff47]

1. Nope.

"You have (centrist), (centrist), (liberal) and (centrist)."

There's also the minor detail that most of your list has not actually declared their candidacy.

[cali]

2. No. I was just thinking about this, but first let me note that NONE of those people have

announced that they are running or set an announcement date- with the exception of HIllary. As of now, she is the only candidate within the party.

Aside from that, I think the potential field is not at all inspiring. We have a weak bench and an old one.

[pinto]

3. Objectively, I welcome any and all Dem voices who want to step in.

I'll be happy with a vigorous primary season and willing to see where it leads.

[NCTraveler]

4. I will tell you after all have announced.

Right now I am pretty happy with the possibilities.

[morningfog]

5. At this point, Sanders is as "in" as any of the others in that list.

I expect a flurry of candidates to rise in opposition to Hillary 2.0 after her tweet on Sunday.

6. I am very happy. I want everyone of them to use their campaign & beat the piss out of the Fascist RW

If there is one point that unifies all who enter the Dem/Ind campaign for 2016, it should be to use the press & social media & forums, the power of their voices to leave a taste of total disgust in the mouths of every voter as to the GOP' corrupt plan for America.

I hope there are five or more in this 2016 run. Great minds voices all with their own passions & desires for this Nation. And all speaking truth in diminishing the power of the mega $ evil machine the GOP will lay down on our country.
One candidate cannot survive that by themselves.
United we stand

7. Clinton has more charisma than the other three combined, and that's just sad. nt

[Capt. Obvious]

12. The most charismatic people are always the most hated

It's a curse.

[Autumn]

8. Have any of the others announced yet? Or is it just Bernie not announcing yet

you have a problem with? That old man is pretty damn scary isn't he? I look forward to this primary.

[Nye Bevan]

9. Maybe if we can add Rahm Emanuel to the mix? (nt)

[tritsofme]

21. Hillary/Rahm 2016!

Now that would make a few heads explode!

[femmocrat]

10. Sure. The more the merrier, IMO.

I would love to see Biden in there, too. Of course, none of them has announced yet. Chafee was a nice surprise. Hillary can't debate herself!

[AgingAmerican]

11. You are jumping the gun

...just a tad.

[brooklynite]

15. Who have I left out?

[AgingAmerican]

18. It hasn't started yet

Try again in a couple months

[bigwillq]

14. I would welcome all of the ones you mentioned

and as many else that want to run. The more the merrier.

[mmonk]

16. Bernie is in.

I've already signed up to be on board.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

17. Starting to get interesting, at least.

A few more and we may have the beginnings of a good dialogue.

[yuiyoshida]

19. Sad to say

other than Hillary, I don't know the others. No one has posted information about them, which means I will have to research them all eventually. Obama will be a hard act to follow, I think.

[tritsofme]

20. Fine with me. I don't particularly care who the non-Hillary candidates are.

This primary will be much closer to 2012 than 2008.
