Democratic Scenario #1: Hillary wins the nom and the GE. In 2016, our next

[Colobo]

presidential candidate should/will be...

Who would be our next "star"?

[Mojambo]

1. I'd guess somebody like Mark Warner.

I don't think as highly of him as some others, but he'd be a natural number two behind Clinton.

Very establishment friendly candidate.

[iamjoy]

2. Barack Obama

Why not?

[SaveElmer]

3. Why not Obama...

He'll only be 52...

[ElizabethDC]

4. Perhaps Obama

I'm sure he's not the only one I should consider, but I do think Barack will be president some day.

[Colobo]

7. Sometimes I feel like

Obama might be our next Al Gore... what a sad thing it would be.

[ElizabethDC]

22. I don't think that would be sad

even if he's not president, but is able to contribute something to our country in as substantial a way as Gore has, that would truly be a great thing. (The same goes for any of our present candidates.)

[emilyg]

24. He will.

[Richard D]

5. Chelsea.

[sellitman]

6. Are you kidding?

It's too early to call 2008 and you want to skip ahead 8 years?

:rofl:

[Colobo]

8. It's called using one's imagination.

[Vincardog]

10. Imagine this Dennis Kucinnich wins the nom and the general. Then who is up in 2016

[sellitman]

20. My imagination?

Ok

Al Gore jumps in the race in the next week or so.

That's as good as it gets.

:toast:

[NV Whino]

9. Stop! Stop now!

No, no, no! I can't take it. My head hurts. Puuuulease, let's just get through 2008.

[hatrack]

11. In fact, why don't we hold the first debate of the 2016 cycle TOMORROW?!?!?

Wouldn't that just be REALLY COOL?!?!?

[Colobo]

12. Lighten up...

[AX10]

13. Why don't we hold the 2016 election in 2008.

Let's push the entire cycle up! :sarcasm:

[trotsky]

14. I bet your choice for 2016 sucks and isn't really liberal!

So there! :P

[Auntie Bush]

15. Obama

[Nedsdag]

16. It'll be either Martin O'Malley or Deval Patrick.

Obama won't be "the next big thing" anymore.

[incapsulated]

17. Obama

It's around the time I thought he would be "ready" to begin with, speaking for myself.

[daninthemoon]

18. Al Franken

[Hardrada]

19. I hope to be in Heaven long before that

especially if we have eight years of HRC coming our way or Mitt Romney more likely.

[Orangepeel]

21. Whomever is her VP.

that's most likely.

[itsrobert]

23. If you mean our next manufactured "star"

I think it would be Jeb Bush's turn for 8 more years and than Chelsea Clinton for 8 after that. We need to break the "corporate" chain now. Nothing against Chelsea now, but who knows what 16 years of corporate brain washing can do to her.
