This is a biggie. Here you can vote on which candidates should be added to the poll and narrow the poll further.
Last round Russ Feingold was eliminated.
Previously eliminated candidates are: Bill Clinton, Marcy Kaptur, Jesse Jackson, Jr., Evan Bayh, Patty Murray, Tim Wirth, Gary Hart, John Lewis, Anthony Zinni, Warren Rudman, John Breaux, and Max Cleland.
Chris Bowers looked back to every discussion of Dean VP and came up with a shortlist or new potential addittions to the poll. These are:
Biden, Joe
Cantwell, Maria
Clinton, Hillary
Conyers, John
Durbin, Dick
Feinstein, Diane
Gephardt, Richard
Harkin, Tom
Kerrey, Bob
Lincoln, Blanche
Levin, Carl
Locke, Gary
Moseley-Braun, Carol
Napolitano, Janet
Pelosi, Nancy
Reid, Harry
Richards, Ann
Rubin, Robert
Schroeder, Pat
Schumer, Charles
Shinseki, Eric
Spitzer, Eliot
Stabenow, Debbie
Vilsack, Thomas
Young, Andrew
I've also added Tom Daschle who was brought up in a diary after chris finished this list.
Obviously we can't add all of these candidates. Therefore I have created two IRV polls using demochoice.org to narrow the que. Unfortunately the software there allows only 16 candidates. So I have created two polls of 13 candidates each split alphabetically. Each poll will generate three winners. The six winners picked in this way will be added over the next several rounds. After that the field will be shrunk down to 5 candidates. If you have any questions about these candidates try www.ontheissues.org and www.votesmart.org for more info, also google them or simply post a question in response to this diary.
The first poll can be found here.
The second poll can be found here.
Please vote in both but only once each.
Meanwhile we are continuing with the list we have already. There are currently ten candidates, one more will be eliminated and then three more will be added from the IRV polls in this diary. For this round no new candidates will be added.
