Christie, and there's absolutely no telling what it could be.

Maybe Hillary has something minor (which will be beaten to death anyway). But since she's fairly well known, and since most people have made up their minds about her, I don't expect it to be anything too damaging.

Maybe Rand.

If anything comes up on Cruz, you can guarantee his supporters will complain about the "lamestream media trying to take out the True Conservative, and pick a 'RINO loser' instead."

We already know what the Republicans are going to try to stick to Hillary.

I think that anything could happen with the Republican field. Anyone know what's going on with that case against Walker?

Eh, maybe another video of Christie getting mad will show up.

Christie obviously.

Also hasn't Walker had some...odd links?

Given how the Republicans are still clinging to Benghazi, there can't be that much in Hillary's closet especially given she's been a public figure for over 20 years (although any scandal even remotely news-worthy will stick for her for obvious reasons)

Walker has major ethical issues. There's a strong appearance of corruption even if the cases are bogus it's easy for a campaign to make him out to be a really corrupt pol.

It'll be interesting to see just how many affairs Bill Clinton has had since 2001.

Definitely Christie, Perry, and Walker
Probably Kasich, Hillary, Huckabee, King, and Schweitzer
Maybe Carson, Webb, O'Malley, and Jindal

Christie (probably involving an associate's body being found in the Pine Barrens)
Perry (probably some sketchy landgrab for a business buddy)
Walker (probably tax evasion)
Paul (crying/getting visibly upset during a debate)
Schweitzer (probably making money off of foreclosures)
Cuomo (see: Christie, but Upstate somewhere)

The GOP will bring up a bunch of stuff about Hillary that we've already heard about. If there was something hiding, we probably would've already heard about it. Get ready for more Benghazi, Vince Foster, and Bubba's infidelity.

Rand Paul and Marco Rubio both give off a John Edwardsy vibe.

Most of the senate candidates will be clean, and the governor candidates obviously has a much higher chance of having skeletons in the closet considering they have an executive duty in their state compared to a legislative one. Which gives more way to scandal, for example when republicans were able to make whitewater an issue in the 1994 midterms. And democrats on bridgegate with christie.

Rand, and Christie, major - perhaps campaign ending ones.  Hillary only a minor one, if that.
