At This Point, Who Are the Possible Fronrunners?
I don't think anyone is a true frontrunner. But at this point, who is a possibility? For the presidential candidates, I'd say Gov. Dean is leading, with Kerry slightly ahead of Gephardt and Lieberman for second. For the vice presidential candidate, I'd say Wesley Clark and Bob Graham are in first. But really, it's extremely hard to pick someone when there's no frontrunner for the top spot.

1. Kerry, Gephardt, Dean, Lieberman
are all capable of winning, and are the heavyweights. Edwards is a dark horse to watch closely.

5. I agree.
I believe that Graham, Sharpton, Kucinich, and Moseley-Braun all have almost no shot at getting the nomination. Edwards has a long, long shot at getting it. If I had to rank all of the current candidates from most likely to get the nomination to least likely, I would rank them this way:

1) Dean
2) Kerry
3) Gephardt
4) Lieberman
5) Edwards
6) Graham
7) Sharpton
8) Kucinich
9) Moseley-Braun

2. Dean and Kerry
and Clark depending on what he decides. if Clark were to run as VP for EITHER of them (Dean or Kerry) IMHO that team would be a lock.

3. are you in a little box in a room on Mars?
I'm sorry to be such a bitch, but we all read
and watch television.
They report, you decide.

4. Dean, Gephardt and Lieberman
Dean has widespread popularity and Media attention.
Lieberman has name recognition from the 2000 election.
Gephardt has institutional support (i.e labor endorsement)

This leads me to think that these are the front-runners.
