(135,425 posts)I think Biden is too old and has health issues (those AVMs that were repaired years ago).
HRC has said she doesn't want to do it--if she changes her mind, I think it's hers to refuse.
The rest of the field needs to increase their national profile, and/or needs a bit more seasoning.

(1,041 posts)No one will understand this one but I chose Hilary over O'Malley mostly because I don't want to die before seeing the first woman elected to the highest office in my nation.

(111,367 posts)He keeps saying that Governor of Montana was it for public office, that he hated Washington D.C, but I'm hoping that will change.

(3,784 posts)Don't know if he has what it takes to run for President, but I really enjoy hearing him speak. Got to know him first at the 2008 Democratic Convention, but liked how he recently took Issa to task on Bill Maher's show.

(10,624 posts)If not, I like what I've seen of O'Malley.
Julian Castro needs to be given a national position of some authority so as to get him accustomed to politics at the national level. I would love to eventually see him as a Presidential or V.P. candidate, but right now he lacks the requisite experience.

(27,670 posts)The future is definitely not in status quo New Dem/DLC/Third Way type candidates.
I like all the folks you listed OK, but it's time to totally clean all vestiges of corporatism out of the Democratic Party.
