Now that the mid terms are over.. I am starting to look at Presidential possibilities..

[Peacetrain]

I hope we can get a woman elected this time.. It is way past time.. As a woman.. it is way way past time.. So to all those who are starting to put together their teams locally and push canidates at primaries and caucuses in the upcoming year and a half....

I think we have reached a place where we are in and will be in a constant campaign mode.. I do have to say, our extended campaign season does not really serve us well.. People just get their backs up over one thing or another.. and nothing is going to move them.. even facts.. but it is what it is.

1. I thought Mark Warner might be an alternative to Hillary, but he almost lost.

NT

3. I was surprised at how close that was also

He was quite popular in VA before..

2. If all else is equal, I will vote for a woman, since it would be great to have that 'first'.

But if one seems better than the others, I will vote for the best candidate, regardless of gender.

[Peacetrain]

4. You are absolutely right.. always the best candidate first..

But we have some very good women in our party.. Its who really wants to jump into the pool..

[Chemisse]

6. Indeed. The prospects of a woman president in our near future are really strong.

Hillary Clinton this time around, and maybe Elizabeth Warren in a few years.

[Peacetrain]

8. Yep for sure.. you know what will really be interesting Chemisse

is who will actually start to come forward in the next 6 months.. I am sure we will have a number of qualified and good canidates to try and sort out as to who will be our standard bearer..

[Chemisse]

12. I will be. And it will cheer me up to start that process,

and not think so much about what is going on in Washington.

Will be interesting but like i said on another thread very difficult for the Prty that holds the incumbent to get that third term .. unless we defy history.. the Dem's might not get back to power for a dozen years... ugh

[Peacetrain]

9. Always a possibility if we do not inspire people to turn out for us

[shenmue]

7. I hope so too

[Peacetrain]

10. I am starting to get fairly old shenmue

and I hope to see a Democratic woman President before my time is over.. it would be so wonderful

[shenmue]

11. Indeed
