Title: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: NHI on May 24, 2011, 06:13:28 PM If Pres. Obama is reelected then here is my list of prospective candidates in no particular order.
Democrats: 1. Tim Kaine 2. Brian Schweitzer 3. Kirsten Gillibrand 4. Andrew Cuomo 5. Deval Patrick 6. Hillary Clinton Republicans: 1. Bobby Jindal 2. Chris Chrisite 3. Marco Rubio 4. Jeb Bush 5. Kelly Ayotte 6. Mike Pence Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: UpcomingYouthvoter on May 24, 2011, 07:37:55 PM For the Dems to watch out: Russ Feingold, Deval Patrick, Brian Schweitzer, John Lynch, Tom Kaine and Andrew Cuomo.
For the Republicans: Bobby Jindal, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan and Rand Paul. Maybe Mike Huckabee though I'm not sure about his chances of winning in 2016. Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: UpcomingYouthvoter on May 25, 2011, 01:25:50 PM And to point out other names to complete for president.
Democrats: Hillary Clinton Mark Warner Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: Niemeyerite on May 25, 2011, 04:06:11 PM what about john hoeven?
Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: feeblepizza on May 25, 2011, 04:33:54 PM what about john hoeven? Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: MyRescueKittehRocks on May 29, 2011, 12:05:58 PM Democrats:
Tim Kaine Russ Feingold GOP Rand Paul Mike Pence Sam Brownback Marco Rubio Jim DeMint Herman Cain Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: RodPresident on May 29, 2011, 12:09:38 PM And Mrs. Sebelius. I think that she can be Obama's name. Tammy Baldwin is also another possibility, if she gets Senate chair in Wisconsin.
Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: Del Tachi on May 31, 2011, 09:53:21 PM Can anyone say GORE 2016!?
I think he'd have just about as good a chance as anybody in the prospective Democratic field (which is looking rather weak, BTW). Republicans --Christ Christie --Bob McDonnell --Paul Ryan --Marco Rubio --Mitch Daniels --John Hoeven --Herman Cain --Mike Huckabee --Michele Bachmann --John Bolton --Jon Huntsman (who is just using a 2012 run to build Name Recognition) --Scott Walker --Allen West --Sarah Palin --Haley Barbour --Rand Paul --Brian Sandoval --Luis Fortuno --Sam Brownback --Donald Trump --John Thune --Lincoln Chaffee (could run as an R, I guess) --Lisa Murkowski --Jeb Bush --Pat Toomey Democrats: --Hillary Clinton --Joe Biden --Al Gore --Mark Warner --Mike Bennett --Tim Kaine --Brian Schweitzer --Russ Feingold --Dennis Kucinich --Howard Dean --Alan Grayson --Andrew Cuomo --Amy Klobaucher --Debbie Stabenow --Deval Patrick --Maria Cantwell --Kathleen Sibelius --Chuck Schumer --Kirsten Gillibrand Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: jcbspidermonkey on June 06, 2011, 10:43:02 PM Can anyone say GORE 2016!?

The democrats have a litany of qualified candidates who could easily keep the presidency in the left column, especially if the republicans contunue their swing to the FARRRRRRRRR right. Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: Atlas Has Shrugged on June 06, 2011, 10:48:23 PM It would hurt Gore in 2016 when people look at him and say "wow, he ran in 1988,2000, and again today?"..wont look good. Dick Gephardt 2.0
Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: tmthforu94 on June 09, 2011, 10:36:36 AM And Mrs. Sebelius. I think that she can be Obama's name. Tammy Baldwin is also another possibility, if she gets Senate chair in Wisconsin. Honestly, I think the Democratic field is weak going into 2016. If Obama knew he'd easily win on Election Day, I'm sure he would have chosen someone much younger who would have huge name recognition and could easily run to replace him in 2016, someone like Warner, Bayh, or Kaine. Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: RogueBeaver on June 20, 2011, 09:15:53 PM For the GOP, I see only Jindal and Christie as the big names on (Pence will be a half-termer in 2015) NHI's list. No 2010er is going to run. Maybe Pawlenty runs again.
Dems: I agree with that list minus Hillary and Cuomo. Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: HST1948 on June 20, 2011, 09:57:04 PM For the GOP, I see only Jindal and Christie as the big names on (Pence will be a half-termer in 2015) NHI's list. No 2010er is going to run. Maybe Pawlenty runs again. Dems: I agree with that list minus Hillary and Cuomo. Just out of curiosity why don't you think that Cuomo run? I mean I don't know if he will run or not, but what makes you think than he wouldn't be a candidate in 2012? Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: RogueBeaver on June 20, 2011, 09:58:22 PM I wouldn't automatically designate a Cuomo as someone with national ambitions, plus he'd be a one-termer.
Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: freepcrusher on June 20, 2011, 10:10:02 PM I would think it would be good to get a democrat from a red state to run so he could win more crossover votes. Here are democratic senators from states McCain won
Ben Nelson (depends on if he wins in 2012 and would be too old by 2016 anyways) Tim Johnson - will be 69 in 2016, which is borderline. He also had a heart attack awhile back. Max Baucus - will be 75 in 2016, so probably no Jon Tester - depends if he wins in 2012 Claire McCaskill - see Tester Mary Landrieu - depends if she wins in 2014. Also depends if she stops whoring for the oil industry Mark Begich - depends if he wins in 2014, as his victory was seen as a fluke Mark Pryor - basically Bill Clinton 2.0 Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: RogueBeaver on June 20, 2011, 10:14:39 PM All of those are too old, and it remains to be seen whether Begich and especially Landrieu survive 2014.
Pryor: Too New Dem-ish for the base, unless the Democrats take a significant intraparty turn to the right during Obama's second term. Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: Snowstalker Mk. II on June 20, 2011, 11:04:39 PM I wouldn't automatically designate a Cuomo as someone with national ambitions, plus he'd be a one-termer. FDR was a one-termer. So was Bush Jr (okay, bad example), and JFK was a one-termer in the senate. Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: Snowstalker Mk. II on June 21, 2011, 01:24:37 AM All of those are too old, and it remains to be seen whether Begich and especially Landrieu survive 2014. Pryor: Too New Dem-ish for the base, unless the Democrats take a significant intraparty turn to the right during Obama's second term. Tester, Begich and Pryor are all relatively young, and McCaskill would be 63 IIRC, which is a bit old but acceptable for the average person. Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: mondale84 on June 21, 2011, 06:30:23 AM Democrats:
Andrew Cuomo Mark Warner Kirsten Gillibrand Brian Schweitzer Amy Klobuchar Bob Casey Jr. Republicans: John Thune Jeb Bush John Huntsman Bobby Jindal Chris Christie - depends if he gets reelected Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: NHI on June 21, 2011, 07:06:24 AM My prediction:
Republicans: Romney (Incumbent) Democrats: Feingold Sibelius Gillibrand Kaine Bayh Cuomo Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: Snowstalker Mk. II on June 21, 2011, 12:22:37 PM Assuming Obama wins re-election and both D and R fields are open:
Republicans: Bobby Jindal Bob McDonnell Chris Christie (pending on re-election) Tim Pawlenty John Thune Rick Santorum Rand Paul Rick Perry Jeb Bush Paul Ryan Jon Huntsman Democrats: Andrew Cuomo Kirsten Gillibrand Brian Schweitzer Claire McCaskill (pending on re-election) Bob Casey Jr. Russ Feingold (if he wins a recall against Walker) Tim Kaine (pending on Senate victory) Mark Warner Deval Patrick Amy Klobuchar Jerry Brown (lol) Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: sentinel on June 21, 2011, 02:42:03 PM This thread is only interesting if you assume the President wins in 2012.
I largely agree with most of the names mentioned though. Wonder who will actually run. Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: Atlas Has Shrugged on June 26, 2011, 11:24:39 AM Leon Penetta is a perfect candidate for the Dems in 2016.
Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: NHI on June 26, 2011, 11:27:03 AM Leon Penetta is a perfect candidate for the Dems in 2016. Hmm Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: HST1948 on June 26, 2011, 11:34:34 AM Leon Penetta is a perfect candidate for the Dems in 2016. Wow, its funny I never even thought of him before. He would be a good candidate. He seems to have good crossover support based on his confirmation vote. In addition here is my list: Gov. Cuomo Sen. Gillibrand (I'd like to see her run, but I think she would be more likely to be a cabinet member) Gov. O'Malley Gov. Lynch VP Biden (Lol, I don't know why he would, but a few weeks ago he told us not to count him out for 2012) Sen. Warner (Although, I think his time was 2008) Sen. Klobuchar Gov. Schweitzer Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: morgieb on July 08, 2011, 02:57:52 AM Republicans:
Christie McDonnell Rubio Haley Hunstman Jindal Ryan Jeb Bush Palin Thune Rand Paul Pence Bachmann Pawlenty DeMint etc.. (didn't include Romney as I think he's the likely primary winner, if not, he runs in 2016) Democrats: Clinton Biden Feingold Kaine Cuomo Gillibrand Henry Lynch Patrick Schweitzer Dean Warner Bayh (more iffy, he's probably pissed off about politics) Kloucbhar O'Malley etc. Title: Re: 2016 Democrats and Republicans Post by: MAINEiac4434 on July 08, 2011, 02:54:41 PM I wouldn't automatically designate a Cuomo as someone with national ambitions, plus he'd be a one-termer. FDR was a one-termer. So was Bush Jr (okay, bad example), and JFK was a one-termer in the senate. Obama was a one-termer in the senate, too. Anyway, Democrats: Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York Gov. Deval Patrick, Massachusetts Fmr. Sen. Russ Feingold, Wisconsin Frm. Gov. Tim Kaine, Virginia Gov. Peter Shumlin, Vermont Sen. Mark Warner, Virginia Gov. John Lynch, New Hampshire Gov. Brian Schweitzer, Montana Sen. Michael Bennett, Colorado Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, New York Republicans Sen. Scott Brown, Massachusetts Gov. Bobby Jindal, Louisiana Fmr. Gov. Sarah Palin, Alaska Fmr. Gov. Scott Walker, Wisconsin (Walker will be a former governor after losing reelection in 2014) Gov. Susan Martinez, New Mexico Gov. Mitch Daniels, Indiana Gov. Chris Christie, New Jersey Sen.
