Had a private sit-down with a prospective 2016 candidate today...

... And have seen several others try out at various delegation meeting. Assuming Hillary or Joe doesn't decide to run, there's going to be some interesting choices to make. Who are you thinking about?

3. Somebody brave enough to defy oil companies and big banks.

4. Not crazy about Julian, Kristen is like...too adorable :P

She'd have to prove she has some brass ones, cause the first time I ever saw her was last night on the Daily Show. And I would hate for Republicans to do attack ads on her, she seems just so sunny and lovely.

I didn't think Julian's speech was that great, but he seems like a good enough guy. Schweitzer seems like the kind that could win but eh, he was alright.

Overall I'm cool with all the names named and would vote for them though.

5. MD Gov Martin O'Malley n/t

6. I really like Deval Patrick. His speech was fantastic.

But he seemed reluctant about 2016 when he was interviewed. Castro was great but he might be too young and doesn't have enough experience. His next step could be as a Gov, Rep or Senator. Who knows? We have plenty of great potential candidates, unlike the GOP.

7. He was very emphatic about not wanting the job

but they all say that! However to me what he said was pretty sincere, just not into it.

8. If Biden doesn't run

Eather Deval Patrick or Brian Schweitzer.Patrick would be top choice with Joe Biden In race.Just imagne the heads exploding to have
another black succeed Obama and this time he Is successful governor who cleaned up Romney's mess.

I am warming up to Idea of Brian Schweitzer as candiate too.

9. Alan Grayson, Al Franken, or Bernie Sanders. I'm cool with all three.
