Unless Hillary does run and I am not convinced she will, I just don't see anyone on the D side that is ready to take over. Biden, wants it so bad he can taste it, but he has tried 2 or 3 other times, never gotten out of the batters box and yes, his age would be against him, big time.
As for Jindal, I really like him and his ideas but I just don't see him as Presidentual material. One of his problems, he is a crappy speaker. We saw what happened to Perry!!! How about Nicki Haley? As for Ted Cruz, it is way too soon for him I think.
Jindal is not a great speaker, but I think he could be serviceable. Oratory is pretty much a lost art anyway. Kennedy, Reagan, and Obama have been the only good speakers in the last 60 years. And to deliver a great speech, the speaker must have credibility, so Obama's ability to deliver went downhill as his admin progressed.
I don't think that it is too soon for Cruz. This time around the GOP nominee will likely be younger than usual. Rand Paul is 50. Rubio, Cruz, and Jindal are all 42. Paul Ryan is 43, and Nikki Haley, btw is only 41.

I disagree with the bold, but anyways if the Primary schedule for 2016 stays the same (states dont try to jump over each other just to be in the national spot light) then you could have 4 or 5 different people win a state in the first week of the campaign meaning there will be no true front runner.
I would love it if one of those Marxists were the Democrat Party's nominee.
Saw Groucho on an old Dick Cavett show, he mentioned a WWI era song referencing how Americans were used as cannon fodder by the right-wingers in that war and related it to Vietnam which was happening at the time. A smart guy, good BS detector.

Brian Schweitzer because i think he would get the least resistance from republicans and be able to have a conversation without the far right labeling him what ever name to divide this nation.
Hillary Clinton because i believe she is the best person for the job and because i agree with many of her policies, although she does look weak at times (calling herself a progressive when asked if she considered herself liberal).
Andrew Cuomo because he has a backbone, yes that is my honest reasoning, i agree with his choices as governor(atleast the publicized ones) but more importantly he isnt scared of trying or getting loud with the opposition.
Deval Patrick , great speak, i know none of his policies or views. i want him to run just so i can know what he stands for.
I was hoping Rand Paul would be more like his father, but he is hopelessely partisan and that disqualifies him for me. I'll probably vote for an independent or liberarian candidale.
Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Bobby Jindal, Rick Perry, Rick Scott but not all of them because it will split the primary vote and give the primary vote to some flip flopping RINO, probably from within the NY - DC corridor, who kisses Republican Machine butt. This is how we'll know who that person is - whoever Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer and Frank Luntz support, that's the Republican for whom I won't vote. I say those guys will shill for Christie or Bush.
