This is a historical article, not a daily tally sheet.
If someone drops out or loses, do not erase them; rather, refer to them as having run and lost, dropped out, etc.

"Potential" candidates

Persons mentioned as possible candidates through journalistic speculation or persons who declined to run may be mentioned in the body of the article, but should never, never be listed with actual candidates on candidates' lists. Steelbeard1 (talk) 02:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then put them in the body if the article... don't remove them. Stop acting like you don't know what I;m talking about.--Dr who1975 (talk) 23:57, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's very relevant: who actually decides to run can have a huge impact on the result of a race, so it's pretty important context. Rebecca (talk) 00:07, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
