Democrats predict that as many as 30 candidates will compete in their party's presidential primary in 2020.
And while it's still too early to say who might come out on top, buzz is building around some potential candidates, even as other hopefuls fade to the background.
A year after a devastating 2016 defeat, Democrats are craving new faces with fresh ideas. Yet many of their leading contenders for the White House in 2020 are politicians who have been around for decades.
There's also no clear standout in the potential field.
"You have a bunch of Celine Dions but there’s no Beatles," said Phil Singer, a Democratic strategist who served as press secretary on Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential run.
The fortunes of potential candidates can change quickly. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.), for example, was regarded just a few weeks ago as a potential dark horse candidate in 2020, but that changed instantly when sexual misconduct charges surfaced against him.
The Hill interviewed nearly a dozen prominent Democrats to find out who has captured the party's attention in recent months and who has fallen out of favor.

Here's their list:
Obvious omissions: Moochelle, a Kennedy (take your pick), a Cuomo (take your pick), Schumer, Nasty, and Hillary (aw come on -- give her another chance)
Great pic——who’s the one in red?

Hey now, you left Chelsea Clinton off your list!
No Al Fraken or Anthony Weiner?
Of those six Kamala Harris and Deval Patrick have the best chance of winning if they’re the nominee. I say this because those two would appeal to the exact same coalision of voters who (comfortably) put Obama in office, twice.

Isn’t that the idiot congresswoman down in Florida who wore the Cowboy hat?
The ‘Rat Party is a machine. Matter little who they run.
Heck, that was the lesson of 2008. The less the LIVs know about the ‘Rat candidate, the better their chances.
Obama had the good sense to shut up about gun control until he was safely reelected.
I think they'd win the deep blue states by even wider margins than Hillary. And loose the Deer Hunter states by even wider margins than Hillary.
... who’s the one in red?

LOL!
LOL — Trump is going to have such a good time in 2020 with this cast of characters.
None of these are worth a hoot—Need new blood—a fresh face with a solid message—No Women, no people of Color, no old white guys. Young, fresh, opintimistic, A new JFK, to counter the aging Trump.
Nope, Empty Barrel Frederica Wilson.
New JFK ? Young ? Run a puppy who humps furniture.
