Update on Tuesday morning. Tom Steyer says he has qualified for the December 19 debate; I've updated the list above. And here's a tweet with a countdown to the first four caucuses/primaries, and Super Tuesday. Here in Illinois we vote on St. Patrick's Day.



Update #2. Kamala Harris has ended her presidential campaign and I'm sorry she wasn't more successful. I've haven't decided who I'll vote for in the primary, but I admire Harris and think she would have been a good president.
