Who Will Be Joining Clinton In Democratic Primary? (3)

http://www.npr.org/2015/02/10/384952071/in-likely-democratic-primary-whos-joining-hillary-clinton "In Likely Democratic Primary, Who's Joining Hillary Clinton?" is an article by Tamara Keith, published February 10, 2015. Hillary Clinton is the forerunner in the 2016 Democratic Primary, everyone knows that. However, the question has to be asked: who else is running? NPR interviewed Tim Miller, the director of America Rising PAC, a Republican group that exists solely to "dig up dirt" on Democratic candidates. Miller says that the PAC has been having some difficulty determining who exactly they will need to dig up dirt on. However, they recently traveled to Downtown Chicago, a Democratic political center. Miller interviewed multiple Democratic politicians, and the only truly possible names are the following: former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; Vice President Joe Biden; former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley; Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders; Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (who has said that she is not running for president, but it is thought that she would make a good candidate); and former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb. I have also been curious as to who was running in the Democratic primary. Hillary Clinton has been the most prominent name since the race first became relevant. If Hillary is to vote, it's likely that she would win the primary, but if Elizabeth Warren decides to run, she also has a very good chance. Elizabeth Warren, quite frankly, would get my vote. We have recently been studying political parties in class, along with primaries, caucuses, and campaigns. This ties to what we have been studying because of the Democratic primary subject and the candidate announcements, following the Democratic National Committee's recent announcement that their national convention will take place in Philadelphia, PA.
