I think Jindal will be on there, since he's been hankering for the VP position with Romney, he definitely has higher political aspirations (the guy has no chance of winning, though).

I don't think we'll see Rand until 2020, I think he might try and distance himself from his father a little bit, and leave at least one election between the two of them (otherwise, it seems too much like he's trying to hijack his father's support).

Jeb Bush could work, and he could be successful... despite everything, I think many Republicans actually look back at George and think "hey, he wasn't so bad", after the way that the conservative media has portrayed Obama.

I agree that Palin is moving into the has-been world... but does she see that? I doubt it.

If DeMint runs, he'll be the best option in 2016. Big if, he's always kept out of Presidential politics, and focused on his job in the Senate... but he's not running for re-election after his term. If Christie runs, all else being equal, he will probably win the nomination (by which I mean, current circumstances with Republican politics).

I could see huckabee(since he ended second in the 08 election), jindal, Ryan, bush, and christie running. Jindal would be cool, but I can just hear the liberal media now, " his father is a foreigner, jindal can't be a natural born citizen!". Really wish some of the repubs didn't press that with Obama. :/

I can list about two dozen promises off the top of my head that Obama not only didn't fufill... but went out of his way to do the EXACT opposite of what he said he'd do. 

I'd go Obama. Because he's African American....

and that's seriously my reason. I think they're both awful and would fuck up the country the same way with their few pros being things that aren't going to change anyway.

("Obamacare" would only go down via supreme court, Obama doesn't actually have any interest in progressing gay rights, he's said as much.)

So having two terms of a Black President would probably be worth more historically then him losing reelection and people forgetting how awful a president he was and blaming it on racism. (There have already been some attempts to paint his bad poll numbers as racism.)

Same reason i voted for him over McCain.  Seemed like they were both going to screw up, and may as well have a black guy screw up for once just for racial progress.

I'll put it this way.

Bush couldn't destry Neoconservatism... so I doubt Obama can destroy progessivism.

You're right about that. In fact, if anything, neocons flourished under Bush. Though, this is also due to 9/11 and the emergence of things like Fox News.

Edit: Also, I don't to be "that guy" but I do think certain videogames have helped the neocon movement amongst younger voters.

I think he will, if only because we won't be able to afford it anymore.

I think it's also a bit different, because wars don't actually affect many people. When people become war weary nowadays it's because it's a bummer to hear about wars, but very few people are actually off fighting or have an immediate family member who is deployed overseas. The rest of the population just wants to distract itself with iPhones or American Idol or whatever. But people have a great deal less patience with economic failure for obvious reasons.

Always Biden... though for gods sake i hope not.  If the media paid attention to even half the bullshit lies he comes up with off the top of his head.  Guy is an prone embellsher who talks of the top of his head.  His only saving grace has been nobody has paid that much attention to him.

Mark Warner would be a good choice since by the people will likely be looking for a fairly strong economic candidate and he's sided with republicans on some key economic actions.  He was a govonor where he solved a budget crisis via cuts and tax reforms... and is trying to work on the current budget crissis.

You'd have problems energizing the far left, but the guy would essentially be a callback to Clinton.

Neither Fluttershy 2012!

Obviously Romney because we need a mid aged white guy as president again. Also because Romney is more American than Obama.
