The "Who is running?" tea leaves thread

[retromike22]

Fiorina is hiring a political and comms director, launch imminent. Hopefully the retreads and jokes drop out before debates start.

The story says that her campaign is expected to launch "as early as next month".

I hope we get to see some demon sheep ads.

Apologies if i'm a noob but is there any chance Schweitzer is still going to get in?

[RogueBeaver]

No, he's done with politics.

[Libertarian Socialist Dem]

Too bad, I thought that refusing to run for the senate this summer meant that he was still thinking about getting in. He definitely would have made the field interesting. I thought that he'd be the perfect candidate for a while, solidly liberal with appeal to middle America but I guess that interview where he ran his mouth off finished him.

How is Schweitzer "done with politics"?

[IceSpear]

Schweitzer has seemed to fall off the face of the map since his Feinstein/Cantor comments.

I think Rubio could still run for either FL Governor or challenge Ben Nelson for his Senate seat in 2018. So even if he gives up his Senate seat for a Presidential run this time around, he still has oppurtunites for elected office that could position him a another run in the future if he loses now.

Apparently Dan Quayle is thinking of running again.

Dammit!  What is this, 2010?

[Lumine]

To think that I almost fell for that one... (even if I know that Quayle faced a humiliation conga in 1999)

Assuming Hillary Clinton does run, Guy Cecil (who managed her disastrous 2008 campaign) will NOT be her campaign manager for her 2016 run.

My reaction to the Republican clown car forming:

[Mr. Morden]

Pataki says he's "strongly leaning toward" running:

In the same story, Pataki says that the US should "declare cyber war" on North Korea.

With the GOP race so open a lot are thinking "why not me?" hence Pataki, Fiorina, Graham, even Quayle. I suspect more. 2015 is going to be a great year for GOP political consultants, pollsters etc.

Quayle isn't actually considering a bid. That was just a joke.

Read the source of the story about Quayle considering a bid very carefully, and tell me if you think it's reliable:

[Mr. Morden]

Numerous GOP politicos who might otherwise back Christie (nationally) or Rubio (in Florida) are committing themselves to Bush, should he run:
