Let's list all the potential candidates for President in 2016

3 wins in a row for any party are rare ; only Bush 41 in 1988 did it post WWII, so the Republican is the favorite

Hillary is white, and no way would get black turn out the way Obama did

the GOP VP will be a minority, probably Hispanic, unless Rubio is the nominee.

I think you might be underestimating the popularity of the Clintons among the black population.

You think so? Hmmm. I am thinking post-Obama, Democrats would choose a more conservative Democrat than Hillary.

Dems are already begging Hillary to run. I don't think Biden would stand a chance against her. I also believe she could siphon a good amount of conservative vote with the 'first woman president' angle. I can't see her losing if she runs. I belive her when she says she isn't going to run though, as she'll be getting up there in years. However, she may just be recharging her batteries for the next four years.

If I've learned anything over the last 20 years or so, it's never believe anything a Clinton says. Every single word, every event, every position is a political calculation. Bill wouldn't have been so active this season if they didn't have something up their sleeves.

To be fair, I think you can learn that in 5 minutes just listening to them. :D

I truly fear a Hillary Clinton run. I've encountered many people who said that they would vote for her simply because she is a woman.

As have I. But while she might have wanted to spend her 60's as president, I don't think she'll want to spend her 70's as president. Which leaves Biden as a candidate that could be beaten by Christie, especially with Rubio on the ticket. I'm sure I'll be writing in Ron Paul again in any event even though he wont be running. I'm not sure I can get behind Rand Paul just yet.

Let us pray. Thomas Jefferson, please strike down Hillary Clinton with righteous pestilence so that she may not further destroy this Republic. In your name, amen.

Amen.

Lol yep.

I heard once that Hillary is going to get promoted to President of the World Bank. Why do I still find these things interesting? I KNOW IT'S A PUPPET SHOW!

I'll make a list, based off Uriah's, and put them in tiers based on a combo of likelyhood and "top tier" potential. Now, the tiers are based on who may run so each tier will have many more potential candidates then actual contenders, but this is how I see it:


Tier 1:
Jeb Bush
Paul Ryan
Chris Christie
Marco Rubio
Rand Paul
Mike Huckabee
Scott Walker

Tier 2:
Rick Santorum
Sarah Palin
Rick Perry
Bob McDonnel
Bobby Jindal

Tier 3:
John Kasich
Nikki Haley
Sam Graves
Sam Brownback
Ken Cucinelli
Susana Martinez
Rob Portman
Mitch Daniels

I made a tier list that looks similar to yours. I didn't feel like posting it and seem too presumptuous. Glad someone else was thinking along the same lines though.

Rand is better than anyone listed so far. IMO.
