Time to rank the current crop of announced Democratic contenders from top to bottom. My rankings are based on where I think they would place if the elections were held today, using a mix of poll results, CW, media attention, buzz, and other intangibles.

You, however, can rank them however you please.

Last rankings (two weeks ago): 1) Dean, 2) Gephardt, 3) Kerry, 4) Edwards, 5) Lieberman, 6) Graham, 7) Kucinich, 8) Sharpton, and 9) Bruan.

And remember we are all on the same team. Yesterday's Dean discussion remained remarkably civil, so thank you for that. We can all be civil in our disagreements.
