2016 Democratic Nominees Ranked.

[Bull Moose Base]

10 most likely to be 2016 nominee
1.Andrew Cuomo 2.Hillary Clinton 3.Joe Biden 4.Kirsten Gillibrand

Those three should all run, so we can have an all-New York primary contest.

10 Republicans most likely to be 2016 nominee if Obama is reelected.
1.Mike Huckabee 2.Jeb Bush 3.Rick Perry 4.Michele Bachmann 5.Chris Christie 6.Marco Rubio

Perfect moment for bipartisan support to end the most useless rule in the Constitution: same-state running mates.  It was useless even before Bush-Cheney made it even more useless.

I thought I'd bump this.

[TomC]

I like Gillibrand, Klobuchar, and even McCaskill. I don't like Coumo or Warner (much rather see Kaine run.) Hillary would be fine too.

Here are my predictions:

Iowa:
O'Malley
Clinton
Warner

NH:
Clinton
O'Malley
Cuomo

SC:
Clinton
O'Malley
Warner

I think O'Malley is going to win the primary because he is the better looking candidate because that is apparently what people care about the most.

[milhouse24]

Tommy Carcetti or O'Malley will win.

[Averroës Nix]

1. Schweitzer
2. Brown
3. Bennett

[bedstuy]

I think Hillary would win by a good margin and should have the right to first refusal on the nomination.  If she doesn't run, there are surprisingly few good candidates.

Senate:
Tester: Schweitzer seems to want it more but Tester seems like an appealing candidate to the voting blocks Dems have been losing, men and guys with flat-top haircuts. 
Brown: He would have support of the liberal wing if he ran and he would have argument that he could win Ohio.
Webb:  Too old I guess but he would be an awesome candidate.

Governors:
O'Malley:  meh.
Cuomo:  Too conservative and not enough charisma.  Liberal wing of the party would hate him.
Schweitzer:  Charismatic, moderate but appeals to liberals, appeals to the west, has proven he can win moderates and Republicans.  If Hillary doesn't run, Schweitzer is the best candidate I see.

Others:
Booker: Too early, he's the VP pick.
J-Nap: Single lady factor hurts.
Vilsack:  Boring but could make Iowa play.

MacKaskill for PRESIDENT!

[Unimog]

Hi,

i stick with my Schweitzer/Manchin ticket.

This ticket could sweep the western states and the middle west combined with wins in the upper south.

Down south is nothing to lose.

And i think the north east will mainly stay solid DEM.

[Sol]

One caveat for you guys saying Bennet- He was born in India. Of course, the whole ambiguity regarding that section of the constitution does exist though.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

[1] Brian Schweitzer
[2] Jack Markell
[3] Andrew Cuomo
[4] Tim Kaine
[5] John Hickenlooper
