The number of candidates seeking to be the next president of the United States is getting ridiculous ("O'Malley set to take a leap into 2016," May 29).
There will likely be myriad platforms, with a plethora of causes and philosophies represented. So many hats tossed into the ring and we are still well over a year away from going to the voting booth.
In political circles, I believe the more appropriate question would be who is not running for the presidency in 2016.
