8. Why do people say this? Is it a physical reflex?

Nobody in a comparable position has ever said they were running and many went on to run, so why do people constantly repeat a datum that contains no information?

Contains. No. Information.

9. Often they don't rule it out if they're considering it

They say something along the lines of: "I have no plans to run". She's said pretty clearly there's no way she's running.

That is how I know. I saw a news video of Hilary herself saying she is not running.
I keep wondering why people think she will be running.

10. Someone more progressive wouldn't win. Extremes don't win the Presidency. Ask Romney.

He had to etch a sketch his extreme positions to make himself palatable to the masses.

Not that it couldn't happen. But most people are not extreme (that's why it's called extreme, or far left, or far right), and will not vote for those on the edges.

15. No, this election is all over but the voting.

It's a waste of good energy to not be starting on 2016 at this point. Want to know what I'll be doing tomorrow after I vote? Working on 2016 before 2012 is called. Because I want to win in 2016.

I became a die-hard supporter of the President once he won the nomination. I will be there for Hilary in 2016 if she choses to run.

I like Hillary.


We need fresh blood.

I would like to see a female elected though.

It would be a slap in the face for the Evangelists.

Maybe Warren?


I also really, really, like Joe Biden.

I just seem to connect with him.
