The list of potential democratic candidates for President in 2004 so far includes: (from Reuters)

"At the core of the Democratic field over the last six months has been Gore, the narrow loser of the 2000 race after a five-week recount in Florida. Gephardt has been mentioned, along with Daschle; Dean, and Democratic Sens. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, John Kerry of Massachusetts and John Edwards of North Carolina."

"Dean is the only one who has definitely said he is in the race, although Kerry is certain to run as well. Other potential candidates include Gary Hart and Bill Bradley, both former senators and failed presidential candidates, and veteran Sens. Chris Dodd of Connecticut and Joe Biden of Delaware."

"Gore's decision, due by the end of the year, will be the first step toward shaking out the field. If Gore gets in, his name recognition would make him an instant frontrunner and he could knock out his 2000 vice presidential running mate, Lieberman, who has promised not to run against Gore."
