I'm thinking Warren/Napolitano

(3,867 posts)Im sorry but if we run Warren/Napolitano in 2016 we will get dominated. Right now Hillary is the best bet for a female president. I do however think Castro from TX is someone to watch. I know Castro is a man. <-edit

(22,308 posts)because of the changing demographics. Even TX is a possibility, although not a very good one.
She was Governor of Arizona for six years and Attorney General for three years before that.
She also fills a gap in Sen. Warren's (I love typing that) resume with her experience as Sec. of Homeland Security. Any woman, or women, running for Commander In Chief is going to to face some tough scrutiny on the security front.
When you factor in that she is also a Latina, and the demographic shifts within the electorate, she seems like a reasonable choice to me this far out. Of course I wanted Bill Richardson to be (then) Sen. Obama's running mate so I could be bias toward western Hispanic Governors.
As for Sec. Clinton... How many Sec. of State have been elected President? Any high ranking diplomat for that matter.
Here is video of a news report. Just try to picture the attack ads that can be made with this kind of stuff as a starter. If you recall, her statement that is made during the report as a "picture in picture" was made after she was called out for not telling the truth about that trip.
I'm sorry but she has disqualified herself for Commander In Chief. Not that I'm not a fan, just to much baggage for her to be a viable candidate in the General in 2016.

We've got four more years and a lot of hard work right now!
