35. J. Biden-Cuomo-B. Biden-O'Malley-Patrick-Gillibrand-Booker-Warren-Villaraigosa-Dean-Klobuchar

Thu Sep 26, 2013, 04:13 PM

Sep 2013

Amy Klobuchar - US Senator from Minnesota, strong Iowa support, pro-Labor (those still exist?!?), has that midwestern appeal that crosses regions

Bill Richardson - former New Mexico Governor, Secretary of Energy and US Ambassador to the UN, early supporter of Obama, former Bill Clinton, also has cross-regional appeal

Joe Biden - Vice President of the United States, former US Senator

Elizabeth Warren - speaks for itself

Howard Dean - speaks for itself

Beau Biden - Delaware Attorney General, US Army National Guard Major

Andrew Cuomo - New York Governor, former Secretary of HUD

Martin O'Malley - Maryland Governor, early Obama supporter

Deval Patrick - Massachusetts Governor

Kirsten Gillibrand - New York US Senator

Corey Booker - soon to be New Jersey US Senator, has strong Third Way support (e.g. Republicans hedging their bets)

Antonio Villaraigosa - Los Angeles Mayor, former DNC head

Not sure how viable those last three are. But the first nine already have some national support. Democrats have a really deep bench right now.
