My bets on 2016 candidates:

Dems: Hillary Clinton

GOP (if Romney is not Pres): Chris Christie, Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin.... maybe Jim DeMint.

If you're thinking tactically like you are, you've got to consider this. Some of those candidates are definitely better than Romney, but could they beat Clinton?

After four more years of Obama? Yeah, I think so.

I'm torn between whether it's better for Obama to go ahead and destroy progressivism once and for all (and potentially the US with it) and hope the Republican party finally takes a more libertarian turn for 2016, or for Romney to win on the basis that he's the less economically suicidal of the two and doesn't blind the chattering classes with faux-cool so that he would actually be held accountable for the things he does. I can't really see myself voting for anyone but Johnson at this point, though, so I guess I'm not that invested.
