Its gonna be Rand Paul vs Hilary Clinton in 2016 if there even elections I guarantee if I am not gone to Honduras yet I will move if that crazy b is elected president.
Ya never know. Rand Paul is crazy enough to get the nomination but probably too crazy to be elected.
On the contrary, I think it's very likely that for the United States' first female president, an advanced age will be a positive asset. We haven't come so far that a measure of gravitas won't be a useful corrective to lingering ideas about women as flighty and unstable - near-70 is sufficiently grandmotherly and matriarchal to serve as a counterweight.
It would be nice to have a president with some facial hair again.
Nice to have a real Westerner, too. Kitzhaber was born in Colfax, WA, and graduated from high school in Eugene, OR. The last president who was born, raised, and lived much of his adult life in a Pacific state was Nixon, forty years ago.
In 2016, Pres. Obama would wind down his very successful second term. The economy will finally be back on its feet (thanks to the obstructionist Republicans having been reduced to 20 seats in the House and 5 seats in the Senate), grinding out a GDP growth of 8%. Unemployment will be 2%, and Mitt Romney will have renounced his American citizenship, dumped his wife Ann, married 10 others, and fled in exile to the Cayman Islands to be with his money.
Stateside, which Democrat you think will take over the presidency in 2016? Biden and Clinton will be too old by then. Andrew Cuomo perhaps? Mark Warner? Rahm Emanuel?
I now understand why I can't find aluminum foil at the Safeway.
I'm a huge Elizabeth Warren fan (spent 4 hours today knocking on doors to help get her elected), but the whole Warren in 2016 thing is ridiculous. A 1st term Senator from Massachusetts who doesn't even finish her term with no foreign policy experience? Oh and a Harvard professor to boot? Democrats would have to be dumb to nominate her. Plus I don't get the sense she'll be all that excited for another hard campaign after this one is over. I think she'll make a great Senator, but president, really?
Hey, just throwing out a name 'fer Pete's sake. How about Cecile Richards, then?........ Typed as DD ducks for more incoming rotten tomatoes.

Oh yeah, I forgot Nixon was from the northwest. I think the weirdest thing with Nixon is his brother who is a music teacher in Seattle and looks exactly like him.

He was from California, actually. Born in Yorba Linda - where the presidential library is. Cool about his brother, though - didn't even know he had a brother.

BETH, Beth, Beth. Thank you so much for so clearly expressing an honest appraisal of fitness for the presidency. We are suffering from the election of a partial one-term senator with no foreign policy experience, a professor to boot. I am glad to see that you agree, we made a grievous error--and should have known it just from his biography. Thanks again.
