Showing Original Post only (View all)Since Obama has this in the bag, I was thinking about 2016... [View all]
Who do you think our nominee will be in 2016? - pollI would love to see, more than anything, Howard Dean step back up. Why, oh why he isn't secretary of Health and Human Services makes no sense. Can you imagine how well he would've done with passing health care quickly?
Hillary seems like an obvious choice. I still sometimes wish she had got the nomination in 2008. Clinton's don't take shit from anyone. I think she could get a lot done quickly. She knows how to fight republicans.
Joe Biden is my boy. I worked for him in 2008, we lost. He gets characterized poorly, but he's the best man for the job.
And did John Kerry just throw his name in the right tonight? We haven't seen that Kerry since the 2004 primaries.
Edit - I forgot to mention I think our nominee will be Andrew Cuomo.

I'm concentrating on this one also. After tonight, I have faith that they won't be able to steal it

I don't think Joe has made any secret that he might consider it if it seems right.

It probably seemed like a better idea in 2008 (or even now) than it might in 2016.

Wow. Talk about intense speculation. Fact is, when they tried to, they failed.

It's not in the bag yet. Two months is a long time, and then there will be the court battles.

No thinking person takes your view seriously. You come across as overconfident and naive.
