PRINCETON, NJ -- The contest for the presidency is never-ending, it seems, as potential Democratic candidates are already visiting Iowa and New Hampshire, meeting with local party leaders and testing the waters for a possible run in 2004 for the highest elected office in the country. At this stage of the process, at least among the general electorate, name recognition is a crucial element in any measure of potential support. And, according to a recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, two of the most prominent names in the Democratic Party garner the most support for their party's presidential nomination: former Vice President Al Gore, and former first lady and now New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Gore is the clear leader, with 34% of all Democrats saying they would support the party's 2000 nominee. Clinton comes in second, favored by 21% of the party, followed by former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley with 12% support. The Democratic Party's vice presidential nominee in 2000, Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, draws 9% support, as does House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt. Massachusetts Senator John Kerry receives 6% of the vote, followed by Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle with 2%, and Senators John Edwards from North Carolina and Joe Biden from Delaware with 1% each.

Funny you should be asking God, considering he seems to be in a joking around mood lately.
