Back in 2006, even before the midterms, I was hoping to find out who would be the Democratic nominee. Obama was not on my radar as POTUS; rather he was my permanent preference as VP to a top-tier well-known nominee. As I said a few months later in Feb 07, I thought it would be Edwards-Obama. Anyway, as you can see from the data in '06, Obama wasn't even on the Wiki radar neither.[Original Post] I should restate my objectives. The GOP analysis was to predict who would get the nomination, based on the current political and/or criminal landscape. It was an exercise of prognostication, similar to my noted (lack of) success in predicting the Oscars. As such, this is not who *will* get the nomination, but who I am hoping to support.
Let's start with the List from the Wiki
Announced candidates for the Democratic Party:
1. Senator Joe Biden of Delaware
2. Former Senator Mike Gravel of Alaska
