Elizabeth Warren, Keith Ellison, Jill Stein, Stewart Alexander. Will vote for Hillary if no other viable option. Want to know her stance on Employee Free Choice Act or similar legislation.

I would love it if one of those Marxists were the Democrat Party's nominee.

Why would you leave the country ? What exactly is it that Hillary would do that would make you leave ?

also, does Michele Obama even talk about her positions on most issues ?

But to answer your question, i want someone who isnt gong to take crap from congress and is willing to get on TV and refute them every afternoon after the R's have had their morning press conference.

I've always liked Hillary and think she will run.
A lesser known guy I like is Mark Warner of Virginia, but he is not well known nationally and hasnt shown any early indication of presidential ambitions.

As a registered democrat I will admit, a Jeb Bush/Condi Rice ticket is damn scary and could certainly win, especially if Hillary is not running.

At this stage of the game I really don't have a favorite. I know who I wouldn't want to run, but I don't think we have to worry about that...People like Jesse Ventura, who would not run anyway, would be the biggest embarrassment our country has ever faced. Gary Johnson was a good governor: we lived in the state when he was the governor. He was also very popular, but I think his time has passed. He could not even survive past the first couple of debates last year. He doesn't have the personality that most of our recent Presidents have had and he won't excite anyone.

I am watching Rand Paul pretty closely: as well as Rubio and Susana Martinez of New Mexico, but I don't think she has any interest or sure isn't indicating she does. I do like Christie in many ways, but have some reservations about him. I would have been pushing for J. Bush but I am not excited about the thought of a third Bush. I want new blood, that goes for both sides.

I like Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio in that order. I wouldn't count out Bobby Jindal, who has the executive experience that the others don't.

As for the D side, I would be happiest if they could get Chris Christie to switch parties and run as a D. Otherwise, Joe Biden looks like the frontrunner right now. He is error-prone to begin with, and he would be 74 yrs. old in Nov, 2016. He has tossed out hints that he wants to go for it.

Us President? It's a puppet position with no real powers. Orders come from others. The last real prez was JFK and he wanted to eradicate the Federal Reserve System and the fiat currency ponzi scheme (whihc btw is till operating and destroying this country from within) Anyway JFK gave orders to start printing sound money (Silver Certificates)....and was in the process of dismantling the FRS.

We all know what happened next. Brain splatter on local TV. A shot heard round the world and a loud and clear message was sent to any new presidents who didn't do as they were told.

The rabbit hole goes deep...for those who choose to go there.

The US government system is broken...and no "president" is going to make it better. Once we all realize that we can then take the appropriate measures..similar to what NZ has done.

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.
