We have Martin O'Malley, Jim Webb, Bernie Sanders (who would become a Democrat if he runs), Hillary, and others. I don't think Elizabeth Warren will run, I take her at her word. Biden might.

Regardless, I personally feel there are enough potential candidates out there that if they fit ones criteria that's how grass roots efforts start. Would it be an uphill battle if Clinton runs, absolutely, but it was the same when Obama ran, it was an uphill battle for him, and he was able to get grass roots support

Goldman Sachs' New York headquarters, where the former secretary of state spoke to executives recently:

But Clinton offered a message that the collected plutocrats found reassuring, according to accounts offered by several attendees, declaring that the banker-bashing so popular within both political parties was unproductive and indeed foolish. Striking a soothing note on the global financial crisis, she told the audience, in effect: We all got into this mess together, and we’re all going to have to work together to get out of it. What the bankers heard her to say was just what they would hope for from a prospective presidential candidate: Beating up the finance industry isn’t going to improve the economy—it needs to stop. And indeed Goldman’s Jim O’Neill, the laconic Brit who heads the bank’s asset management division, introduced Clinton by saying how courageous she was for speaking at the bank. (Brave, perhaps, but also well-compensated: Clinton’s minimum fee for paid remarks is $200,000).

expressed interest. I think if Bernie runs, he will run as a Democrat. There is no way he will split the party.

At this point in time it will be tough going for anyone to go against Clinton if she runs. However, it was tough going for Obama, and through populist and grass roots support he did it
