Two states down, and we are still far away from knowing who the Democratic nominee for president is going to be.
It appears that the five plausible nominees from back in December are all still alive, and it’s possible that a sixth, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, has a chance to join them. (Bloomberg is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News.) It may be that Iowa and New Hampshire have succeeded only in knocking out the fringe candidates.
