When did you first hear of each of the candidates?

[Oak Hills]

Context: I was born in Rhode Island in 1995, moved to Tennessee in 1998, and first learned about politics from my dad in the mid- to late-two-thousand-aughts.

Clinton:  2006, when she was getting ready to run for president.
Sanders:  2006, when my dad told me a socialist had been elected to the Senate, which I thought was really cool.
Biden:  2007, when he was running for president.
O'Malley: About 2008 or 2009, when I tried to learn the governors of all fifty states late in middle school.
Chafee:  About '07 or '08, when my dad was telling me about Rhode Island politics.
Webb:  Probably about 2010, when I started to be familiar with the names of most senators.

Bush: 2010, when people started talking about him a potential candidate for 2012.

Cruz:  2012, right after he made it to the Senate primary runoff.
Fiorina:  2010, when she was running for Senate.
Gilmore:  I'm honestly not sure.  Either 2008, or 2014.
