Dahlen missed election in Dec. 2012 by two votes from the Veteran's Committee. Assuming they use common sense and put him on the next ballot in Dec 2015, then he would be the leading candidate.
According to the voting process, each voter had up to four players they could choose and with 16 voters, that made a maximum total of 64 votes. Jacob Ruppert and Hank O'Day each got 15 votes, while Deacon White got 14, leaving a maximum of 20 other votes if everyone voted for four people. Dahlen got ten of those possible 20 votes, while the other six guys on the ballot all got less than three votes and obviously ten or less votes between all of them.
That would make Dahlen an overwhelming favorite to be elected in Dec 2015 using the common sense method. His biggest three challenges on the ballot are all off it now and enshrined.
No other T206 guys were on the ballot.
Just to clarify, I mentioned common sense twice, because this is the HOF we are talking about and they don't exactly have the best track record.
