The last national poll that I saw had Lieberman ahead of the other Democratic candidates. That doesn't mean much, however, given that we are still early into the process and very few people, other than political reporters and those of us on SI who obviously have nothing better to do, are focusing on next year's election. His strong showing is more a function of the fact that voters remember him from 2000.

I don't expect Lieberman to go the distance. He got a late start because of his promise to hold off until Al Gore made his decision. He also suffers because he is essentially a nice guy without a real killer instinct.

Dick Gephardt may be a stealth candidate. For what its worth nowadays, he has strong union support. He could surprise people in South Carolina. It is my understanding that he will probably have some strong support from the African-American community. Al Sharpton is no Jesse Jackson and I don't think that he is going to be much of a factor.
