I think Sanders is going to do REAL well. In Sanders democrats have a socialist but NOT a proven liar. That's going to matter more when it gets closer.I don't know. I haven't seen enough of Webb. I think Bernie would do ok though, don't you?How about Webb VS Hillary? Any idea how he would hold up?Well naturally I disagree but not with everything. I've seen Walker interviewed and found him to be direct, articulate, and even tempered. Kasich, on the other hand seems (at least to me) kind of unkempt. Also, he's too nice, I don't see him roughing up Kankles in a debate. He would be too much of a gentleman and let her get away with too much. He's borderline rino, maybe already there. Trump seems to have knocked Bush out of the box, he's behind Walker now, who is in 2nd place. I think Trump is peaking too soon and Walker will move into 1st place and stay there. Hopefully Bush drops out soon.Walker has a chance, I suppose. His record in Wisconsin would likely cause him some problems on a national scale. As would his general lack of charisma and limited speaking ability. But he's a political brawler who usually wins (in Wisconsin anyway), has the requisite experience and decent name recognition.
I don't agree on Walker. But he's plausible.
I think Kasich would be a better choice if you wanted a governor. He's got more electability, has a better base of experience, is an excellent speaker and is a very charismatic fellow. Plus, and this is a biggie: he almost certainly brings Ohio, a State the republicans desperately need.
A Kasich-Rubio ticket would give the GOP a strong lock on Ohio and Florida. Walker doesn't necessarily bring Wisconsin.....with his approval ratings barely 40%. And Wisconsin is only 10 electoral votes. Ohio is nearly double that. Florida, nearly triple.
Meaning that Walker has the least chance of the three candidates of bringing his state with him. And his state is the least important of the States that these candidates could respectively bring.
I will have to read up on Webb. He is everything Democrats hate though. Democrats would NEVER vote for a...

It's like everything they hate all in one. Good man way WRONG party.
I'm considering Sanders. I like him as a person. He's a little extreme politically, but not outrageous. We match up on guns. And he seems like a good man.
He also seems like he'd be ridiculously ineffective. A Jimmy Carter: a good man in a job that doesn't reward goodness.
Hillary strikes me as someone who would be very effective. But I'm not fond of her personally. Her positions are pretty generic. And I'm not entirely sure she's a good person. But if elected I suspect she'd champion issues I support and do it well. Plus, she's got the best chance to take and hold the presidency. She can do a lot of good even if she isn't.
So.......I'm gonna wait and see. I haven't decided yet. Hell, I'm taking a long hard look at Kasich. I don't think so, but I'll let him try and sell me.
