If she didn't run, the Dem field would likely end up as a clown car just like the Republican one. Anyway, the speech booking isn't really a big deal considering the CW is that she wants a Spring announcement. If she starts booking them in May or later, then I'll be worried.

Democratic Primary:
Hillary Clinton
Jim Webb
Bernie Sanders
Martin O'Malley

- Hillary's running - get over it Hillhaters.

- Jim Webb, as awful as he is and as little chance he would have at winning (conservative Dem + little resources), looks to be planning a run. I could definitely see Schweitzer getting behind a Webb candidacy.

- Sanders looks to be setting up a run as well to run to Hillary's left. Again, little chance, but he would be a really funny candidate to have in the primary.

- O'Malley - He's apparently not intimidated by Hillary, and the indications of the continued funding he's looking for, for his PAC, is forming a team, and his advisers think he will run. Granted, with O'Malley's home state being #Ready4Hillary already, Larry Hogan as Governor, Sanders probably running as the de facto left-wing guy, and terrible fundraising, he stands no chance.

Republican Primary:
Jeb Bush
Scott Walker
John Kasich
Ted Cruz
Bobby Jindal
Ben Carson
Mike Huckabee
Rick Santorum
Michele Bachmann

- It seems more likely at this point that Bush runs rather than Rubio. He has the money and resources, and he's already building a possible strategy for him to win the primary.

- Same with the Walker-Ryan situation; more likely Walker runs. Walker has an impressive resume on his hands to run on and he can definitely find support while Ryan wants to stay on as Chair of House Ways and Means.

- As for Kasich and Christie, they're very good friends and I don't think they're willing to run against each other. One of them will run though, and it will probably be the Republican who has the potential for a larger donor base and would have a better chance at winning.

- Same with Paul and Cruz. They're buddies, and Paul already said he's focused on re-election which leaves open a good chance for Cruz's Barnum & Bailey campaign.

- Jindal is overly ambitious and self-confident in that he thinks he has the experience and skill to be president, and he'll probably run in hopes his numbers go up as he gets his name out there.

- The polling numbers and GOP support for Carson should be assuring for him, and this would be his prime opportunity to run for president.

- Huckabee can garner the big religious socon block of the Republican Party, but even if he doesn't, he can still run as a publicity stunt to hype all his books and his show on Fox News and stuff like that because he isn't as relevant as other big name Republicans are right now.

- And.....I threw Santorum and Bachmann in there since both have expressed interest and I would love nothing more than to see these two run.

[Peter the Lefty]

Dems:
Hillary Clinton

Repubs:
Jeb Bush
Ted Cruz
Paul Ryan
Scott Walker
Rick Perry
Rand Paul
Ben Carson
Chris Christie
Rick Santorum
Michelle Bachman
Herman Cain (please God please)
Marco Rubio
Bobby Jindal

In the end, the Dem field will be Clinton vs. Sanders.  The GOP, probably Bush vs. Paul.  But it'll be a battle of the dynasties.

Made a few updates to mine. Rubio and Pence are the two I'm most uncertain of.

At this point, I'm putting Rubio's chances of running at just under 50%
