Future

I believe that we don't need to get rid of the potential candidates after someone announces their candidacy. We can keep them all the way through the the primary election season. Here is a good example: Democratic Party (United States) presidential candidates, 2008. Does anyone disagree?--Jerzeykydd (talk) 18:11, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We should, however, add the official ones to the 2012 page. Diamond Dave 19:00, 10 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by David1982m (talk • contribs)

Agree with all of the above.--JayJasper (talk) 19:11, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shorten the Potential Candidates List

It seems really unnecessary to have a mini paragraph after each source that is cited in favor of a potential candidate. Why don't we simply put two or three references after the name of each potential candidate (EDIT: To clarify, the list would look like this *Gov. John Doe[1][2] *Sen. Jane Doe[1][2][3], etc. with no third column necessary), and do away with that last column altogether? It would make the page much cleaner and neater. If people want to know what each source says about each candidate, they can click the link and read it themselves. Thoughts? --Ai.kefu (talk) 21:01, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
