I partially see what Jerzeykydd is saying  If an article is published saying that it is believed SoAndSo will not run in  then we should not be able to use that article as one of the three sources necessary to support SoAndSo as a potential  candidate  The article must say that SoAndSo at least might run or ought to run  However as long as there are three articles within the last six months that do advocate the possibility or desirability of SoAndSos running for President in  we ought to keep SoAndSo listed on the page even if common sense dictates that they will not run Dick Cheney Mark Sanford et al simply for consistencys sake
