The Next President

None of the above.

Good God, that is a bleak list! Hopefully they will all step on their dicks in the next few months and I include Hillary in that.

Hillary is a much better politician than Obama and would find ways to advance her programs even with the hopelessly fractured Republican congress fighting themselves as much as the Democrats. She's much more hawkish than Obama which I do not like, but I trust she's not going to rush into pointless wars like W had us do. I think it's more posturing like we saw with Reagan. Biden is an idiot, so between the two I'd choose Hillary. I don't see any other Democrat in the picture right now, so there's not really much to choose from. As for Christie, he's a crook so his policies are irrelevant to me.

I don't understand the list? If you have Christie on the list, why not the other major GOP contenders like Walker, Bush, Paul, and Rubio? Watch out for Rubio -- he may be a dark horse.

2 reasons - these were the only 2 democrats on the list and Christie was the republican with the highest odds. they all scare me to death as the potential for the next president.

Kinda like when you walk into a crappy strip club and your choices are: that fat chick, that ugly chick or that other ugly chick, and that's it.

Why not Kate Upton?

You have a better choice than we have. Our election is in May between Cameron (dumb) and Milliband (a lot Dummer)

Why not PeeWee Herma

Any president that pushes an agenda of free 7up lappers for men 35+ has my vote! That would be brilliant! If I'm paying taxes they might as well subsidize strippers for me!

What are the odds for Liz Warren? Do Josh and SJG have a prayer of seeing her elected and bringing Utopia to all?

Peewee has a better chance than Liz -- but would like SJG's expert opinion.

Meg Whitman! But she couldn't even win california.

Motor, if Kate Upton runs in sure Biden and Bill Clinton would offer to be her VP

Rockstar: Hillary is the main reason we have this idiot Obama. Even democrats didn't want her. She is polarizing to say the least.

Yeah yeah, I can hear the Obama cry of "Blame Bush" but that is just an example of one idiot following another idiot.

What a bleak list. I wouldn't vote for any of those losers.

Jeb Bush has a better shot than Christie.

But yeah, it's gonna be Hillary. Sorry. She's all but got the Democratic nomination sewn up, and the electoral map for republicans will be awful for the next two presidential elections. Democrats can't lose national elections when young people and minorities bother to show up, and they do, once every four years.

On the flip side, republicans will hold the house until 2020 when there's another census and some of the worst gerrymandering can be fixed.

@Holdem: You blame Hillary for Obama?? WTF. The Democratic machine wanted her to get the nomination, but Obama wrested it away. She's not nearly as polarizing as Obama; I don't know how you can think that. Why Blame Bush? Obama has the unemployment rate in the 5's, the deficit is shrinking, we have many millions more people with healthcare and we're not in any major wars. Even gasoline is cheap. What's not to like?

JamesSD: I'll trade a GOP congress for a liberal Supreme Court any day of the week. This conservative court we have now is doing more damage to our country than any president or congress can. At least they're going to allow gay marriage it seems, but then they have no choice.

So we're going to have a lying bitch as president, and Bill as First Lady. Who the hell wants this after Obama?

Would she answer the phone and actually do something the next time Americans are being attacked at a foreign embassy?

What does Hillary Clinton do every morning after she shaves her pussy?

She sends him to work

Vote for Pedro

Seriously? Nineteen comments and no one has suggested shadowcat?

All those choices sound horrible to me.

John huntsman, the only decent republican to run last cycle, never polled above a couple percent. The current republican party is right or reagan, who was pretty far to the right.

I actually think Kennedy is a rare true moderate. He basically controls the supreme court.

shadowcat for President
farmerart for Vice-President

If Kwame could run, in Detroit they'd elect him.

Jsd,

Yeah, conservative gerrymandering. Like the libs didn't "invent" it in the US in 1788 in an effort to keep James Madison out of Congress!

Even back then they despised the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights, both of which Madison was a major part.

Hillary would make a terrible president when it comes to creating jobs. The only one she ever had, she outsourced to Monica. :)

Saw a bumper sticker yesterday. It read, "Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriends Wife for President."

Certainly not a ringing endorsement for HRC.

How about a true Socialist - Bernie Sanders?

@clubber, part of me admires the Republicans for being just so damn good at Gerrymandering.

The fact is the Tea Party has pushed the Republican party to the Right. They've been able to get away with it because so many individual Republicans are in extremely safe seats. The kind of seat that only changes hands when someone retires or goes to jail. But the fact is the Republican Brand just isn't very good nationally on the whole. It's REALLY hard to draw an electoral map that works for a republican candidate.

The Senate is the odd one. Obviously Republicans have certain structural advantages in that states like NY and CA have zillions of liberals but only get to send 2 Democratic Senators each while sparsely populated states like Wyoming and Idaho also get two. The 2016 senate map is tricky for the Republicans; they're going to lose at least a seat or two, but they hold 54 right now. Democrats should easily retake Illinois, but they're gonna have to fight to gain 3 more. PA and WI are far from easy wins, and for #4 they'd have to gain... NH?

Still, it's nice knowing that in all likelihood we'll have the same government we do now until 2018. Democrat in the White House, Republican controlled House with a big majority, and probably a small majority for the Republicans in the Senate.

JSD,

One good thing about what we have now, not counting the lawless president, is that little gets done. "Done" in Washington speak most always infringes on our rights and oversteps the governments VERY limited Constitutional "rights"
