Chance Clinton Doesn't Run

[dudeabides]

As a Republican, I would love to have Elizabeth Warren as the Democratic nominee, or Bernie Sanders for that matter.

Both would lose on the issues, plus Warren has baggage.

In terms of the Hillary Clinton question, I am almost certain she will run - I'd give it 90% chance she runs. But, will she be the nominee? Probably. But, of all her prospective opponents (Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Mally, Jim Webb) Webb probably has the best chance of defeating her. Why? Biden is undisciplined, O'Mally has lower name I.D. than Warren with liberal activists, Warren is all over the place, and Sanders doesn't come across as presidential - plus he will have no money. Webb will likely do well with voters who supported Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in 2008 - the left wing of the party, as well as independents in certain states. He could also compete with Hillary for union households as he is running as a populist.
