I'm tentatively sticking with Walker, until we see the full impact of the allegations against him.

Rubio.

Because youth + diversity + handsome factor > professional accomplishments + experience

Case in point: Obama vs. Hillary '08

What accomplishments did Hillary have? Though I see your point - Biden was one of the few on that stage that actually had professional accomplishments, and look how well he fared.

Marrying Bill Clinton?

I mean that's basically the only reason she is considered a serious candidate if she runs.  Otherwise she'd be as credible a presidential candidate as Evan Bayh was in 2008.

Because Evan Bayh was secretary of state for four years, and also ran in a long brutal presidential primary campaign where he won the popular vote.

Either way it's splitting hairs. The popular vote was decided by <1% and the party was nearly split in half. Hardly an also ran like Evan Bayh, who didn't even make it to Iowa. But I do love the revisionist history myth that "Obama DEMOLISHED Hillary in 2008, and Sanders/Schweitzer can too!!!!!!"
