NONE of us- not one person on DU- has any idea who is running, or who the nominee will even be. What in the world is the point?
If you all can remember back, many people hadn't even heard of Bill Clinton by this point before he ran against Bush.
This is really just navel gazing, and it's weird how mean it's getting-

And yet, he, nor I could bring ourselves to vote in such a manner that would allow the alternative to take power

(89,283 posts)she had a lot of support already and is leading by huge numbers.
if anyone else is seriously going to challenge her they should do it now. in fact they hsould have started some time ago.
the fact that there is nobody else who is out there says a lot.
so far whatever someone like O'Malley, CUomo and others do is more of a "just in case she doesn't run" type of thing rather than a serious effort to win the nomination and go up against her.
also by this time before the 2008 elections there were groups out there getting support for Obama. so the 2008 comparison is not a good one either as there is nobody who is doing that now.

(32,617 posts)so they seek attention. Negative attention is just as good as positive attention. In fact, perhaps it is better.
So they come to DU and start an OP so you will be aware of their importance???
Perhaps it has something to do with birth order also.
