47. For starters? How about someone who's not an Old Rich White Establishment Person?

Which also leaves Joe Biden out, but I'll say THIS about Vice President Biden... Candidate Barack Obama and then President Barack Obama put him one heartbeat away from the Presidency for eight years running. What would that say about Barack Obama's judgment if he didn't support HIM over Hillary Clinton?

Frankly, after 8 years of the first non-white, non-establishment, non-filthy rich politician in the office of the Presidency, I don't think Hillary Clinton is going to excite an electorate that is growing younger, more liberal, and more diverse every day.

But that's just my opinion...
