1. All current office holders should stay in their office.From top to bottom. Hillary45/Biden 2016.

anyone in office in 2016, needs to stay in that office.

[tabbycat31]

8. O'Malley will be out of office in 2014

He's term limited out.

[Rosco T.]

2. Choice of two.

Clinton/Warren

Clinton/Schweitzer

[Kablooie]

3. Sarah Palin would be an interesting choice.

You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.

[DFW]

4. Call me nostalgic, but

We never got to experience the Gore administration. I would still like to.

Sans Lieberman, it goes without saying. Gore/Schweitzer, maybe.

[davidpdx]

7. I can understand that because I supported Gore

But he has been out of politics so long there is no way he'd get back in.

[On the Road]

5. Personally, I Would Like for Howard Dean to Run

.

[zipplewrath]

9. +1

He's about the best candidate I can see. Too bad he won't run.

[DFW]

10. There's almost nothing that would convince Howard to run

He's a personal friend, and I'm not speculating. It would take a total meltdown of all other viable candidates for him to even consider it. He'll be 65 this year, and he is looking to take it easier, not have total stress for four years, let alone eight (as I think he'd be handily re-elected if he took office). He is still as energetic as he could be, but I think Judy would go ballistic.

[davidpdx]

6. None

Until there are actual a declared candidates, I won't decide who I will vote for.

[libodem]

11. Will I be taken out behind the woodshead?

If I don't pick our gal Hillary? I'm not sure I'm feeling it? What is the matter with me? I really love her as a person and have respect for her as a politician, and if she runs I think she will win....but... but...but... I need help.


I like a Grayson/Warren, ticket, if I could dream. (stuffs a Nation, magazine, down the back of pants)

[davidpdx]

12. I think you can separate the personal from the political

She did a great job as SoS and if she were the nominee I'd vote for her. As for the primary I'm content with waiting another two years until some of the campaigns kick off in the Spring of 2015 and see who actually runs. People might be a bit surprised at who is in and who is out by that time. No matter who decides to run, I believe we should encourage a wide range of candidates.

[Myrina]

13. Russ Feingold

Edited to add: I know it will never happen, though.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

14. As of right now --

and from that list, Elizabeth Warren by a landslide.

[question everything]

15. beware of inevitability

In 2004, Lieberman was the front runner. In 2008 it was Hillary, and she almost won.

But if there is something we learned from Obama - and I voted for him - is that executive experience counts. That knowing how a legislative body works, and knowing the movers and shakers, counts.

Which means, in my opinion, that none of the senators on this list will be a valid candidate. You may not like my comments but, believe me, this will be mentioned against any senator.

I love both Biden and Hillary - supported them until they dropped in 2008.

But we have established the image of a party that talks to the young. And in 2016 Biden will be 74, Hillary will be 69. I just think that we will have to show a younger face.

Which leaves, from this list Cuomo and O'Malley.

[CTyankee]

16. Please, we've gotta get a woman. I don't care if it is Hillary or Elizabeth Warren. I am tired

of being governed by men at the top of the ticket. Let's give women a crack at it. All over the world women are leading in their nations and we look like idiots.

Let's do it and elect a woman president in 2016!

[Cali_Democrat]

17. Elizabeth Warren
