[MrCoffee]

Post your pick for the Democratic nominee in 8 years.

[helderheid]

1. Boxer

[muntrv]

2. Patrick, the MA governor.

[VADem11]

3. Mark Warner

[Peacetrain]

7. Yep!! Warner

[Beregond2]

4. If the past two years have taught us anything, it ought

to be the uselessness of predictions.

[knixphan]

Kooch!

[muntrv]

5. DUPE

[babylonsister]

6. I just want to get past November and win! nt

[hisownpetard]

13. Ditto to the nth!

[WeDidIt]

8. Hillary will be 68

She'll be the odds on favorite.

[TwilightGardener]

9. Kaine? Hard to say who our bright stars are going to be--no one saw

Obama five years ago.

16. I saw Obama in 2002

October of 2002, to be more precise, in Federal Plaza. First words out of his mouth were "I'm not against all wars, I'm just against dumb wars."

I turned to the guy standing next to me and asked, "who is this guy?"

"Barack Obama, he's a State Senator." came the answer.

"He should be president." were the only words I could think of at that point in time.

Found out a bit more than a year later he'd be running for Pete Fitzgerald's Senate seat. I was amazed he was a distant fourth place early in 2004. Supported him all the way. I knew he'd bring the house down during the 2004 convention as soon as I heard he got the keynote spot.

17. That's a great story! I didn't hear about him until 2004--Newsweek

did an article about him being a rising star in the party.

[MercutioATC]

10. Brian Schweitzer!

(no, I'm not giving up)

:P

[Occam Bandage]

11. Why bother? Eight years ago, the 2008 Democratic nominee

was an unimportant IL state senator who had just badly lost a Congressional primary for a safe Dem seat. Who knows who'll take it in '16?

[Waya]

12. And yet.......

I bet he will still have more marbles left than John McCain has now. He will remember how many houses he owns, he will be able to distinguish between Sunni and Shia, he will realize that Iraq does not share a border with Afghanistan, and that certain Nation no longer exist, have been renamed, etc........

[WinkyDink]

14. I should live so long.

[tridim]

15. Ask me in 2015.

Did any of us even know who Obama was 8 years ago?

[liberalpragmatist]

18. Lisa Madigan?

She's the attorney general of Illinois -- she'll probably run for governor in 2010 and if she can defeat Blagojevich (the incumbent guv) in the primary, she'll be the next governor of Illinois.

So you'll have a fairly progressive, pro-choice Catholic woman who is only 50 years old and governor of a large midwestern state. She could be formidable.

Back-to-back Illinois presidencies?

[Barack_America]

19. Tim Kaine.

I don't agree with all of his policies, but there's something I just LIKE about that guy.

[slinkerwink]

20. Mark Warner foshizzle.

[Egnever]

21. Robert Wexler

or maybe Boxer/Wexler

[1corona4u]

22. SO WHAT....

I'm really getting tired of this " old age" thing. It's nothing more than discrimination. In the event you hadn't heard, 50 is the new 40, so you do the math. Age is a number, and as long as a person is "young at heart", and they have their wits about them, and in good health, age is irrelevant. People are living longer. BTW, age discrimination is illegal in this country, and, there is NO upper age limit in the presidency. Period.

Why not just ask who people want in 2016, and leave out the rest.....sheesh....

23. Joe Biden

24. 2016?

Come on man, let's just win this November.
