Predict who will be running one year from now

[ShadowRocket]

I haven't seen one of these in awile. So what do you predict both fields looking like in one year? My guess:

Democrats-
Hillary
Sanders
Schweitzer

GOP-
Christie
Paul
Cruz
Jindal
Santorum
Perry
Walker*
Kasich**
Carson
Bolton

*Only if he wins reelection

**I can see Kasich being Thompson/Perry of this cycle who gets recruited to run. Though I think he could do alot better than those two

[Free Bird]

Dems:
O'Malley
Biden
Sanders
Schweitzer

Reps:
Christie
Paul
Jindal
Ryan
Bush (sadly)
Santorum
Perry
Carson
King

[Suburbia]

Democrats:
Clinton
O'Malley
Sanders
Schweitzer

Republicans:
Paul
Christie
Bush
Pence
Jindal
Carson
Bolton
Cain
Kasich
Snyder
Blackburn
Santorum

[Maxwell]

Democrats:
Clinton
O'Malley
Sanders

Republicans:
Paul
Christie
Perry
Walker
Santorum
Rubio (or Bush)
Cruz

And then maybe one of Kasich, Pence, Jindal, Carson, or Bolton, though I could see Kasich or Pence being recruited and asked way late in the game to run (announcing in September).

[Mr. Morden]

Clinton is of course the most likely Dem. to run, followed by Sanders.

On the GOP side…..I don't know.  I'm not going to rank them, or say which are more than 50% likely to run, but I guess the ten most likely to run are (in alphabetical order):

Bolton
Carson
Christie
Cruz
Jindal
Paul
Perry
Rubio
Santorum
Walker

Peter King would have been on that list six months ago, but he seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth.  He needs to make a few more trips to NH before I'm convinced.

He might not be making trips to early states and doing all the typical pre-campaign stuff, but King is still going with the rhetoric.  There's still a good chance of him running.

[Senator Cris]

Dems:
Clinton
Sanders
Schweitzer

Reps:
Christie
Cruz
Walker (If wins re-election)
Kasich
Paul
Perry
Jindal
Santorum

[Blue3]

Who will be running one year from now? Everybody who is going to run at all!

Hillary for the Democrats.

For the Republicans, I know the ones who really want to run are Paul, Cruz, Santorum, Perry, Jindal... but I don't know if they'll think it's right for them this cycle.

[Mister Mets]

Dems:
Hillary Clinton
Bernie Sanders
Brian Schweitzer

Republicans:
Rand Paul
Ted Cruz
Chris Christie
Scott Walker
Marco Rubio
Mike Huckabee
Carly Fiorina
Bobby Jindal
Rick Perry
Rick Santorum

I forgot to include her on my list. She'll really be running for vice president, but the best way for her to run for vice president will be runningman impressive primary.

Why do people think Carly Fiorina is running for president?

[Frodo]

Democrats:

Hillary Clinton
Bernie Sanders (newly minted for the primaries)

Republicans:

Jeb Bush
Rand Paul
Ted Cruz
Rick Perry
Bobby Jindal
Rick Santorum

LOL, what a disaster she would be. At HP, she fired 30,000 people before the board of directors finally realized that she was the one who needed to be fired.

[Mr. Morden]

The more interesting question is who will already have launched their campaigns as of six months from now.  I'd say Bolton is a strong bet, since he doesn't really have much in the way of a day job right now.  He seems to be largely focused on his PAC, which nominally exists in order to support his favored candidates in the midterms.  So once the midterms are over, what else does he have to do besides run for president?  Other potential candidates either currently hold elective office or are making some $ in the private sector.  Santorum has his movie studio thing going, for example, so he has an incentive to delay any announcement until the spring.

Also, gotta say that I disagree with the few of you who predict neither Bush nor Rubio runninng.  Rubio is more desperate to win the presidency than anyone.  I don't see him passing on a run unless former mentor Jeb Bush gets in the race.  We'll have one or the other Floridian in the race, IMHO.  OTOH, it's very possible that neither of the two Wisconsinites runs.  Ryan seems ambivalent, and Walker depends on what happens in November.
