Post #10. With so many rats running for president in 2020 it's hard to keep up with who's in and who's out. Hopefully, this post will help. Below is a list of declared candidates, their occupation, the date they dropped from the race (if they did) and misc. notes.
This thread will be reposted each week, likely on Monday, with the dropouts from the previous week and newly declared candidates noted. The dust biter(s) from last week: unfortunately, none. Newly declared candidates from last week: none, thankfully, but ya never know.
Please let me know via FReepmail if you find errors. Thanks! upchuck

The schedule of Democratic debates is here.
A few frozen Iowa nights should trim the field in a couple of months... ;-)
Losers, all.
Dec of 2003—visting my dad on Cape Cod. A Democrat, he said to me, “Well, there’s no way Dean’s gonna win it now...” Because Saddam had just been captured; it was on the news.
He was the apparent frontrunner at the time. Dean scream came in January...(My dad, who died in ‘14, was right about Dean...but the capture of Saddam was only part of it)

>>MELE: Howard, as the frontrunner, came under concerted attack from all parties in the 90 days prior to Iowa and New Hampshire. You had Kerry and Gephardt and Edwards, and you had shadowy PACs with a lot of money.
JOE TRIPPI, Campaign Manager: The other candidates were on conference calls every day to decide how to coordinate attacking us. That’s been documented.
>>DEAN: One of the things we did wrong, which I didn’t know about at the time, was go after Gephardt. In a multiple-way race, if two people start fighting, they both go down. And we both did. That was a mistake, and unfortunately I didn’t know about it. I mean, I didn’t know what was on TV, because by that time the campaign was in some chaos.
Thank you for your service.
Does Las Vegas take bets on who the candidate will be?
Not being a betting person I’m not sure. Wouldn’t surprise me if they do.
