My guess: Sen. Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY), but other possibilities include Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), Governor Terry McAuliffe (D-VA), or Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN).
Cuomo and McAuliffe would be non-starters.
Cuomo's aspirations have to be taken down a peg, given the past year he's had. he just needs to buckle down, not get arrested, and stay NY Governor for as long as he can. from there, the chips will fall where they fall.
his best shot probably would have been if Obama lost in 2012, coming around here in 2016. he would have governed slightly differently, though the corruption thing would have 100x more flashlights around it, perhaps it was secretly a gift from God. (and he still wouldn't, couldn't have run if Hillary ran)
McAuliffe has long been a part of the Democratic Party establishment, and Cuomo has name I.D. and the ability to claim that he governed a state through a recession and worked with divided government.
However, Sen. Gillibrand is more likely to run. She's young, energetic, and liberal without being radical.
