30. the democrats by demographics, will NEVER nominate a white male in 2016. Won't happen.

Cuomo? The one who ran his father's "vote for Cuomo not the homo" campaign against Ed Koch years ago. That Cuomo? His recent gay marriage view nowhere comes close to making anyone who was there forget about that.

What was the reason Mario refused to get on that plane awaiting him, and why did he TWICE
refuse Bill Clinton's offer to be nominated for the US Supreme Court?
Whatever is in the closet, those skeletons have not been vetted.

again, it won't be a white male. That is something the republicans have done 44 times
and will continue to do.

and it's simple raw number demographics that say so.
