Democrats seek favorite son bids after Hart exit
Democrats face a brokered possibility as none of the remaining candidates gains a clear lead after Gary Hart withdraws. Jesse Jackson and others, including Biden Gore Jr, Gephardt, Simon, Babbitt, Clinton, Nunn, Cuomo, Bradley, Celeste and Boren, may pursue favorite son paths or draft talk but experts doubt lasting impact. Labor influence wanes and analysts expect a pack of contenders to define the race by Labor Day.
