The big question, who does Obama give the nod to?

I keep reading posts about Hillary, and Warren. Haven't seen to much talk about Biden though.

I guess my question is, who will get his endorsement and do you think that will matter in the long run?

I have heard rumors that the Clinton's struck a deal with Obama for a nod in 2016. I don't know if that's true or not. I have also read that Obama will endorse Biden.

He is my second question. Of Obama really did promise her a nod in 2016 and them gives Biden the endorsement, how ugly are things gonna get?

He will stay out of it until the voters pick a nominee; then he'll campaign in the general. nt MADem Apr 2014 #2

It's a foregone conclusion. We have an election this year. Plenty of time to worry about 2016 after we regain control of Congress this year. If we are willing to work for it, we will get it.

GOTV 2014 and Beyond!

He has said several times he is as likely to run than not to run. Not quite sure what that means, but it doesn't seem like its a definite that he won't.

I think he will support the person that wins the primary.
