To be honest, totally honest, I lose focus. Why? The election for president is next year, not this.

..The nomination for the democratic candidate is next year, not this year. I think like it is next week, or next month, and it isn't....
... The first primary is in January? or February?..I posted that before. We need to think about this too. 8 months away is a long time in politics. yes......anything can happen, and often does.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

It is way too soon to do more than watch those running. Things change in a heartbeat. This time next year a lot of those running today will be gone and forgotten. There may be others running, who knows?

and who builds the infrastructure they need for a national campaign. So if people have the ability and interest in donating, it makes sense to follow the candidates this early.
