Prediction Markets: Harris 22%, Sanders 17%, Biden 15%, O'Rourke 9%, Klobuchar 8%

The rest of the candidates are at 5% or less, including Elizabeth Warren, who I would have thought would be higher.

Also, it's interesting that Biden and O'Rourke are so high even though we don't know if they are running yet. Presumably, if they actually enter the race, then their numbers would go up further.

The General Election odds are currently 58% Dem.

I love our Senators but would like them to keep doing their excellent work in the Senate. But there is nobody higher than mayor who is running so far who has had executive branch experience. And please nobody from the business sector, Democrat or otherwise.

Inslee certainly looks like a worthy candidate. I wish there was someone with more name recognition who, like you said, was a governor or ex-governor running.
