Warren has declared she won't run. Bernie Sanders, meanwhile, is looking on the Democratic side.
O'Malley can try if he wants, but losing a blue state like Maryland, even if in a Republican wave year, is really going to hurt his ability to get others to believe in him.
It'll be Clinton against somebody like Sanders who will lurch to her left. Biden, possibly, if Sanders really fizzles.
On the right, i'm surprised Paul Ryan declared he was out. Bush, Romney, and Walker look like their big three. Christie, possibly, if Bridgegate from the left and his (in)famous photo with Obama after superstorm Sandy from the right don't leave him dead in the water. Moderates will see a governor who functions like a mafia thug, while Partiers will only see that photo. |
I don't see Sanders even registering as more than a blip in the primaries. O'Malley is definitely going to try, but he is also definitely going to fail. There really isn't anybody on the democrat side that I can see coming even close to Clinton. Howard Dean might end up being her biggest competition... which is pretty sad...

I disagree. There are a lot of Democrats who are getting sick and tired of third way shenanigans (which took over the Left under Clinton) and want to go back to actual leftist policies. Someone is going to take on that mantle and be the person who challenges Hillary from the left.
