That could be a long list or a short one, but I don't think the list should include people who are on the fence about running - they can be added as they toss their hats into the ring. It should be open to anyone running in the Democratic nomination process; the list will be trimmed in due course as primary season arrives.

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