The neighbor of that obnoxious slob Christie. If he can speak like his father, he'd be great.

She has all the requisite attributes, plus charisma = 18.

I can't think of anybody better to represent our party.

The Republicans have to choose carefully--anger, hate, outright lies, racism, insanity all these are traits most of their potential speakers contend with. Some reports say they are looking at Chris Christie, but on national TV, justified or not, this may not be the image they want to portray.

Many of our potential speakers would do us proud. Some have been mentioned here: Elizabeth Warren, Tammy Duckworth, Ted Strickland, Martin O'Malley, and one I know who might not appeal to all here, but would bring the house down:

Al Franken.

but O'Malley's a much better, and more practiced, speaker, imo.
They BOTH should be on our list for the future POTUS.
Add Andrew Cuomo's DAD!!!
