2000: McCain is runner up.
2008: McCain wins. Romney is runner up.
2012: Romney wins. Santorum is runner up.
2016: Santorum wins?

I think Clinton would beat Christie. I sincerely hope Santorum never gets anywhere near the nomination again. Ideally it would be Justin Amash. If not, Scott Walker could well get it. Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan and Bobby Jindal have a shot too.


Huckabee was runner up in 2008 ;)

not really, Romney was still 2nd in the popular vote and he dropped out like a month before Huckabee.  Romney also took more states.  The only reason Huckabee had six more delegates is he stayed in it longer than romney.

I think Christie would never win a primary, between his size and his candid (often straight up angry) attitude.  The man comes off as having little self-control, and his dimeanor would in particular not go over well with women, methinks.

I also think Clinton might consider herself too old to run in 2016. Though if she does run, she's almost guaranteed the nom.

You'd think the weight would be an asset, actually. With me being unable to think of a way to say this politely: the large numbers of fat Americans would go for a fat guy, since he looks more "normal," just like how politicians don't like looking too intellectual

Christie doesn't look normal-fat though, he looks aristocrat-fat. And that won't go over well.

what is the difference between normal-fat and aristocrat-fat?  is normal fat skinnier?

A little bit. But the big difference is in facial expression. He doesn't look fat and jovial. He looks fat and miserable.

A Hillary Clinton/Elizabeth Warren combo could be deadly.
Bill Richardson is another qualified candidate for the Democratic Party.

On the Republican side, we could see Sarah Palin going after the nomination.
Chris Christie has an appeal problem. His weight alone will not suit that well because people could associate it with lacking proper self-discipline (lol).

What the Republican party needs, to even consider winning in 2016, is a moderate Republican who leans more liberal on social issues but leans conservative on economic issues.

so... a normal fat person is happy and aristocrat fat people are miserable?  Personally, I would think it would be the other way around.

vgc ate my giant post :( Oh well. I'll try to recreate it, well some of it. 

By the time Huckabee started gaining momentum Romney was on his way out. After his loss on Super Tuesday Romney's steam was gone. I doubt he'd have won anymore states even if he stayed in. :P

Wooh, one line!

That's a horrible choice for a running mate.  We don't even know if she will win her election this year. They need people with more experience, not a newbie who won't even be finished with her first term
