    I thought the Democrats was the party of the little people?

      My own categorizations:

      CA Garcetti -- small fry, there are always some like this
      CA Harris -- serious
      CA Newsom -- serious
      CA Steyer-- rich man's vanity candidacy
      CA Swalwell -- media candidacy
      CO Hickenlooper -- small fry
      CT Murphy -- media
      DC Holder -- serious though I doubt he'll run
      DE Biden -- serous albeit ancient
      HI Gabbard -- ridiculous candidacy
      MA Moulton -- small fry
      MA Patrick -- small fry
      MA Warren -- serious
      MD Delaney -- vanity
      MN Klobuchar -- serious
      NJ Booker -- serious
      NY Bloomberg -- vanity
      NY Cuomo -- not running
      NY de Blasio -- small fry
      NY Gillibrand -- serious
      OH Brown -- serious
      TX Castro -- media
      TX O'Rourke -- media and yet serious, like Obama
      VA Kaine -- establishment inertia candidacy
      VA McAuliffe -- inertia
      VT Sanders -- media
      Harris ain't got a chance, too short
      she'd make a good VP though (Bill Clinton's dream VP -short enough to put your beer on her head while she gives you a BJ)
      I wonder what cigar he'd pick for her?

        I still haven't been able to tell if this is a well played schtick or an actual human being with actual human thoughts.

          I'm going with real human. Humans are really that bad.

              Schtick. And I'd go with Kep (or maybe Rover) channeling what he thinks the political right thinks.

                  Besides Hickenlooper, who else on that list has been a governor? McAuliffe?
                  After that, yes, Bloomberg and de Blasio have been mayor of a city that's more expansive (population and budget wise) than some states.

                  I still like Klobuchar out of that list but she lacks time in the executive chair.

                    The last president who had been a governor was Dubya. How'd that work out?

                        I'm not saying it's a perfect criteria; I am saying it gives me a chance to see how they operate as a constitutional executive (albeit at state level).

                          I understand, but I think the Presidency has so diverged from the standard profile of an "executive" position that it no longer resembles anything. It is sui generis.

                            It's become cult-of-personality and the focus where in reality the role (per the Constitution) was to be more "city manager" and the focus was supposed to be the city commission (Congress)*. That started with mass media (FDR fireside) and continually progressed in not a good way.
