I know it won't be Rahm, whose neoliberal stances, hypocrisy, corruption, and general assholeness earns him nothing but a boot in the ass.

I'm not a big fan of Hillary, either. I never have been. I support liberal left Democrats. Neoliberal/centrist/3rd way/"New Democrats" aren't on my list of prospects.

If I'm faced with another lesser evil vote, education will be at the top of the list as a deciding factor. Rahm's not going to win that one going against any other main stream Democrat. He could tie with Arne Duncan, if Arne chose to run against him, I guess.
