I'm not implying this thread is not okay. I'm just saying you might be interested in her thread, if you have not already seen it.
As far as Brown, I've heard from more than one source that he has gone rightward since he last ran for President. I have no clue if that is true. However, if he is indeed Third Way now, meh. Ifn ot, I'd be interested in what he has to say. However, he has said publicly that he opposes a primary challenger to hHillary.

(38,958 posts)2. I am sure the party will figure it out
and let us know who the candidate is in 2016. For now and pretty much up to voting in November that year, I plan on tuning out as much as possible. These election cycles (and most programing, be it sports, financial or even weather) are more and more media driven to fill the 24/7 news cycle with the "latest" news (soundbite) from candidate "A, B or C".
Baring any great meltdown of candidates it will be Bush v Clinton and everyone else is simply running for a VP slot.
