2016 Democrats and Republicans

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

I wouldn't automatically designate a Cuomo as someone with national ambitions, plus he'd be a one-termer.

FDR was a one-termer. So was Bush Jr (okay, bad example), and JFK was a one-termer in the senate.

All of those are too old, and it remains to be seen whether Begich and especially Landrieu survive 2014.

Pryor: Too New Dem-ish for the base, unless the Democrats take a significant intraparty turn to the right during Obama's second term.

Tester, Begich and Pryor are all relatively young, and McCaskill would be 63 IIRC, which is a bit old but acceptable for the average person.
