really depends on who the candidates are... from both parties
the democrats '''sure-win''' is probably Clinton
the dems would be likely to lose if they put up "foot-in-mouth" biden, or 'herman munster' Kerry, or 'psycho' warren
on the repubs side....bush has an up hill battle against his own name(even though he is the 'smartest' bush).... Romney is looked at as a corporatist.... ryan is too much of a talker..... Rubio will face the same birther garbage Obama did....paul doesn't have the following his father did.....
Who cares? Both parties spend like drunken sailors. The dems on welfare, the GOP'ers on warfare and the progressive factions within both parties spend it on everything.
Yeah don't stop belivin we just need the right people in office to straighten things out lol
The Republicans are most likely going to win in 2016, the recent gains they have had show that they have a hold over the democrats
who do you think they will elect for president ?
i think it will be Mitt Romney, with Marco Rubio as VP
Mid term gains are a very poor indictor, but the chances are that next president comes from the opposing party after a president completes an 8-year term. Historically this is almost always the case. Also, Dems do not seem to have any serious candidates.
Mitt Romney is probably the worst possible choice, while Huckabee would be the best. Rubio, Rand Paul will be serious contenders in 16-24 years, but 2016 is simply too soon for those two juniors.

Look at a list of the Purple States and show me the combination of states that Huck could win to reach 270 electoral votes. Winning a few more votes in Mississippi or Oklahoma ain't gonna cut it.

Ted Williams had advice for our hopeful Republicans, "If you don't think too good, don't think too much." Clinton will win a commanding victory in 2016. The question is will her coattails be enough to carry both House and Senate for the Democrats. The Republicans will have another intra-party fight between country club republicans and the t-baggers/social conservatives.
That combination of states, plus the Red Wall, would give the GOP a total of 282 EV or 12 over the minimum for victory. You wouldn't need Colorado's 9 EV if you won PA, but without PA, you'd lose.
You really think that Huck, of all people, will win PA when Dole, Dubya, McCain and Romney couldn't? I can't see the Philly burbs voting for the Arkansas Preacher, and that is historically the key to winning the Keystone State.
You picked the road that a GOP candidate needs to win, but Huck is one of the least likely candidates to accomplish that goal.

You gonna send someones son, daughter, husband or wife, to fight someone elses war? No thank you. My dad did that in Vietnam and he had to kill a lot of innocent people. People that never ever attacked our nation, just to fight someone elses war. It messed with his mind for years.
people like you were against intervention in world war 2, need i say more ?
