My personal pick for President in 2016 is an Andrew Cuomo-Jay Nixon ticket. The famous governor and a dark horse, two moderate to conservative leaders, that not only will attract Republicans and Indipendents, they will also be popular among Dems due to Cuomo's social stance.

I'd prefer a Gov. Schweitzer/Sen. Paul ticket; a bipartisan liberty ticket between the Montana Democrat and Kentucky Republican. Attracts Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, etc.

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm praying for another black-yellow majority, and for the SPD to get shattered.  It's exactly what it deserves.

I do agree that Bipart tickets are good, but Sen. Paul is one of the most far right people in politics. It would make sense to pick a Republican like Richard Burr, Jon Huntsman, or Susan Collins, but not Paul.

How bout Gov. Haley (R-SC), Gov. Weld (R/L-MA/NY), Gov. Johnson (R/L-NM), Rep. Amash (R-MI), Rep. Duncan (R-TN), Rep. (possibly Sen.) Flake (R-AZ), or even a Republican figure like Tucker Carlson, Clint Eastwood, Drew Carey, P.J. O'Rourke, Peter Thiel, or Vince Vaughn?

Haley- a bit to neocon-esque
Weld- Maybe, but to insignificant
Johnson- Hell ya, he's way better than Nixon. In fact he would be great.
Duncan- I don't know...
Flake- I want Carmona in 2012 for senate, so...
Eastwood- I'd love for him to be a politician.

Bush the Greater (I) actually briefly (but seriously) considered asking Eastwood to be his Veep. And Flake isn't exactly bad (very anti-earmark, pro-immigration, authored a bill giving green cards to people who get PhDs in the US, anti-Iraq, anti-Cuba embargo, pro-privacy, voted for DADT repeal, and amended the PATRIOT Act to make it significantly better).

For the Republicans: Huntsman/Christie.

For the Democrats: Schweitzer/Cuomo or Schweitzer/Booker.

I think both these tickets would be very strong, and I'd be excited about either one in a 2016 campaign.

Democrats: Sherrod Brown / Kay Hagan

A liberal, midwestern Democrat and a moderate Democrat from the South. It's got regional balance, and it's got a solid Democrat to succeed Obama that is pro-labor, pro-growth, and favors marriage equality.


Republicans: Jon Huntsman / Paul LePage

A bipartisan ticket seems incredibly unlikely, though.

If it was possible, I'd want Bernie Sanders to run.

Schweitzer ran a bipartisan ticket in the last 2 elections he did (him & John Bollinger, a Republican (current Lt. Gov.).

Anything with Schweitzer, Cuomo or Christie at the top of the ticket. Rand Paul will have to work very hard if he wants to convince me and many other social libertarians he's not a far-right socon, because right now that's what he looks like.

Socon? Rand? He's relatively pro-liberty on drugs, thinks gay marriage should be left to the states, anti-PATRIOT Act, is states-rights (would overturn Roe but would leave the rest to the states), and supports morning-after pill use. Not really that bad, relative to certain others at least.
