Now that Bullock and DeBlasio have announced, seems we have many candidates not included on DU poll

In addition to those two, we never added Seth Moulton, Tim Ryan, Michael Bennett (or Wayne Messam, Mike Gravel, for that matter).

While I don't really think any of those have a chance, DeBlasio will obviously try to make a splash and arguably leaving out a current US Senator (Bennett), while including spiritual author Marianne Williamson seems a little unusual.

Perhaps the software/programming has limits on how many can be included but I just thought I'd ask. With the addition of Bullock and DeBlasio, it looks like we have 26 "notable" announced candidates.

Just curious... anyone think it important to add them?

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

Who is in charge of updating it, the DU admin?	BigmanPigman	May 2019	#1
Yes.. that seems to be the case.	hlthe2b	May 2019	#2
I think they only list a candidate if someone asks.	marylandblue	May 2019	#3
No one asked for the original listing (i.e., all except Hickenlooper who was specifically requested)	hlthe2b	May 2019	#4
Well, they rarely answer questions, so they're likely to not answer this one.	oldsoftie	May 2019	#10
I don't think it's necessary to include anyone until they reach a certain % of support.	Honeycombe8	May 2019	#5
I'm just curious what the policy is. Inslee was added before the threshold...	hlthe2b	May 2019	#6
Who the heck is Marianne Williamson????	Honeycombe8	May 2019	#13
She's been a candidate included all along. She even has her own group here.	hlthe2b	May 2019	#15
So if I and my sock puppets demand they list me, they'll do it?	marylandblue	May 2019	#7
If you're a candidate, and there's a threshold of support here in DU....yes.	Honeycombe8	May 2019	#12
No need to add DeBlasio; he's in it for ego. Few here would vote for him.	oldsoftie	May 2019	#8
Oh...so he's the only one in it for ego?	Honeycombe8	May 2019	#14
Well, you'e got a point. I just dont care for him & my bias shows!	oldsoftie	May 2019	#16
I don't know much about him.	Honeycombe8	May 2019	#17
