Not Mittens, that's for certain. Maybe Rand Paul if he decides to run, or Jeb Bush. I can't say who will win, but I can make educated guesses as to who won't win.

Really? That surprises me. I figured the GOP would pick someone who's at least somewhat electable.....y'know what, there's only one such candidate, but he should just join the Democrats.

Ugh, I did a google search, and you're entirely correct. But, whoever wins the primary is ultimately irrelevant, since the Democrats will undoubtedly win in 2016.

I hope so, but I feel Hillary might not be a popular as Obama was. She is known as a bit of a corporate shill. Then again, if she has the same popularity with women as Obama did with blacks, it will definitely be a Dem victory.

That won't prevent disgruntled progressives from voting for her. Though she may be irrationally seen as a elitist and corporatist, progressives and the liberal wing of her party will vote for her over the GOP. Unless, the Green Party or a similar party suddenly picks up momentum. But, there's a better chance of me dating a supermodel.

I haven't seen any since jeb announced but mitt was running at about 25%. I think that is his maximum support since everyone knows him. in any case polls are meaningless at this stage. the only thing that matters is whether or not the big money donors of the party will back him.

Warren seems like a strong willed politician who cares about the American people. But, when it comes to policies and pragmatism, I feel that she relies more on populism and anti bank rhetoric.

Grayson? He has two years of experience, so I know little about him. He doesn't seem particularly progressive.
