Is it possible that Hill would have no primary opposition?

[Synthaholic]

He might.

That's actually why I put up the link and the thread. I cannot imagine he'd be vp for 8 years and not run. But, getting him out might have been one of Gates' motivations for that book.

Biden is such a boob and an endless gaffe machine I can't imagine that even liberals want him to run. While in the long run, the liberal tide is winning, in the short run the Democrats are highly vulnerable in the next couple elections just like W was at the end. What scares me is the Republicans long proven, deep ability to pick candidates who suck.

That meme comforts you. But it has no relationship to the truth.

I see your point. How's the kool-aid?

It's down in the middle of the link. I'm not aware of a candidate for an open potus position not having "real" primary opposition

Dems are all as crazy as snakes. No way to predict. But I can tell you that she cannot win.

Well, I'd probaby vote for Satan to get rid of citizens united and tip the Court two seats from John Roberts' view of what America should be.

Of course she can win. She has the organization, the money (groups are actually fighting each other over giving her money), and she will lock up the women vote, the Latin vote, the Gay vote, and the united Democratic vote.

In the primaries in 2008, both she and Obama took 8,000,000 votes. They were evenly split and that was with her running out of money and not having the superdelegates.

She lost by thismuch...

There just isn't a Repub who can beat her. Having said that, she may have primary challenges.

She cannot win. The shadow government of the US is comprised of wealthy and influential male chauvinists, and they are not going to allow it.

She's puurrrffffeeeccct for corporate America.

Not like you love Putin.

Where did I say I love Putin?

Where did I say I loved Chavez and Castro, Ernie?

You specifically? I don't recall ever, but Fidel and Hugo have been darlings of the left for decades.

The only reason the right has anything good to say is the fact that he treats obama like the idiot he is.

She is a pro business Democrat. If only she can get Bill to stay home this time. Love him but he can really fuck things up at times.

And you would put yourself at what, 5?

Sorry, Synthia, you are no more a moderate than fakesmarmy is a Republican.

I'd put myself at 2, maybe 3. Obama at 5. Bernie Sanders at 1 or 2. Bill Clinton at 7.

OK honest, and fairly accurate except for the mid point. I put John McCain at 5, Mitt Romney at 5.5 and barack obama at 2.5.
You? I guess, at 2 which is incidentally, where I peg your IQ, as well.

LOL. I left the Republican party 25 years ago because I saw how sad they were. Synthadrone can't even see Biden is a boob? Biden tops Dan Quayle and Al Gore in the top dufus VPs of modern times.

 

[g5000]

Hillary will be 69 in 2016. Biden will be 74.

Reagan was 69 when he ran in 1980. He was our oldest president in history.

So they both have that working against them. And I sure both would quote Reagan when asked about their advanced ages.

"I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience."

I have been waiting for Patty Murray to come to the fore, but I guess that isn't going to happen. And she will be 66 in 2016.

Elizabeth Warren? She'll be 67. And her parroting of Obama's "You Didn't Build That™" will cause much frothing at the mouth. She will be as much a lightning rod for the piss drinkers as Obama.

Martin O'Malley will throw his hat in the ring, hoping to get a cabinet position out of the deal.

Andrew Cuomo is a definite maybe.

Mark Warner is another very likely candidate.

Whoever runs, you can expect mountains of manufactured bullshit and oceans of piss being drunk by the opposition.

Assuming she's the nominee, it may be one of the few times a VP nominee actually has much bearing (aside from Palin who doomed McCain)

I thought you meant 1-10 among Democrats, Liberal to Conservative. That's why I put Clinton 7. Max Baucus, Joe Manchin, Kent Conrad, Ben Nelson, Mark Pryor - those types I put at 9 or 10.
