However those were all written\u00a0about 6 months ago, when there was a sudden outbreak of interest among journalists.\u00a06 months is an eternity in Internet time, and a few\u00a0things have changed.<\/li>\n<li>I based my list of\u00a0candidates off\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.politics1.com\/p2016.htm\">this one<\/a>\u00a0which was about the first that came up in Google.
