for president?
>>> good morning, i'm melissa
harris-perry.
march madness is in full swing
right now.
the national obsession with
rankings, matchups and guessing
game over whether the top seed
will go all the way or be
toppled by the surprise
cinderella.
and i'm not talking about the
ncaa basketball tournament.
i'm talking about the other big
dance, the one that only comes
around every four years, the
race to be president of the
united states.
just like that other big
tournament, the race for 2016
has already seen lots of
fanfare, rousing pep rallies,
fiery speeches and plenty of
trash talking.
but unlike the other tournament,
we can't fill out ore 2016
brackets yet because we lack the
actual players.
the ink and air time that has
been spent on the 2016
presidential race we have the
save number of official
candidates that we started the
year with zero.
now compare that to the last
presidential campaign without an
incumbent.
but this point in 2007 at least
