Three way primary for the Democrats in 2016.

I'd go Warren while secretly hoping that Clinton wins for practicality's sake.

Clinton, the strongest candidate. I don't know why anyone would pick Warren, as she would lose and bring in negative coattails that will only ensure even further conservative laws enacted in 2017.

I too would go Hillary in order to win. I understand the significance of having a legitimate primary challenge from the left -- but Elizabeth Warren doesn't cut it for me. Love her stances on policy, but to be honest I really truly don't believe she is an effective communicator of them. I don't even think she's too liberal to win a general election; she's just not Presidential material, personality-wise.

Lol at Martin O'Malley. Was he the token male selection?

Clinton, obviously.

Winning is more important than ideological purity.

For that reason, Hildog.

Warren (normal).

Warren would at least fire up the base and have some appeal among Indies, whereas Hillary would start with a 10 point lead right now and then collapse towards the end of the general election campaign and finish like Martha Coakley.

I'm not a Democrat but if I were I would vote for Hillary because she has the best chance in the general.

This. Though I will obviously support Hillary when she inevitably wins.

O'Malley as a presidential candidate is a joke. No doubt. But as a VP candidate he could fire up the gay vote.

Hillary, because I want Democrats to win.  Also, she could entice people who turned away from the Democrats during Obama's presidency.

Hillary. Then again, as late as the Christmas before 2008, it was Hillary last time.

Clinton is the only one of those three who could win a general election, so I would obviously support her.

If that's your primary batting order it's going to be a long 2016, but fear not, the pubs aren't putting up home run hitters either.  Smiley

Clinton.

I like Warren, but the right would far and feather her far too easily. I feel like if she was from any state BUT Massachussetts, she'd be a fine candidate.

Joe Biden should definitely be on this list.

But right now, probably O'Malley or Warren.

Clinton, obviously.

The forum is sexist for giving the token male only 6% of the vote.
I'm just trolling, I voted Warren.
