If your list is intended to be good candidates, I'd add Jeff Merkley.

If your list is intended to be likely candidates who would have a good chance of winning the nomination, I'd add Andrew Cuomo. He's from the more conservative wing of the party, and he'd attract a lot of the support (especially Wall Street donors) that Clinton got.
