33. My useless prediction
Sun Nov 18, 2012, 04:58 PM
Nov 2012

FWIW, I think Hillary should get some rest - maybe enjoy some grandkids when/if she has any. Elizabeth W would be great, however I think she's just a tad TOO liberal for many. I'm having a hard time thinking past PBO at the moment.

I do think the GOP will try and go with Chris Christie - he even has respect from a lot of Dems. Of course, with a woman or minority as VP. Maybe a minority woman? Condi Rice is too identified with the Bushies. Nah, it'll probably be the Hispanic guy that spoke at the RNC. Can't think of his name - is it Cruz? Although Christie isn't the type (like bitter ole McCain) to be coerced into picking a potential disaster like SP.

I think I'll just enjoy the fact that the GOP got their asses whooped! Wow, I have a bday next week and I just realized that I'm older than Obama! In fact, several years older. It's the first time that a Prez has been younger than me. Yikes! At this point I guess I should just be happy that I'm HAVING a bday!

She's horribly diluted. She'd never get the nomination. dem4ward Nov 2012 #1
It will be Jeb with his Mexican wife for the GOP and he will lose to Hillary45/Castro46 graham4anything Nov 2012 #4
I used to think Jeb was waiting his turn in 2016 demwing Nov 2012 #10
W didn't thwart Jeb. GP is 8 years away at least. 41 losing didn't stop W graham4anything Nov 2012 #19
Hillary will be 70 years old...and she says she's tired now. truebluegreen Nov 2012 #25

I seriously doubt the GOP base will nominate a Hispanic for the top of the ticket. bluestate10 Nov 2012 #16
It'll be Rubio as VP next for the GOP. Squinch Nov 2012 #22
Rubio couldn't legally be Jeb's VP unless he changed states. graham4anything Nov 2012 #29
They can be from the same state but it WOULD make it much more difficult for them Squinch Nov 2012 #32
