I'm very interested in this so hope this thread isn't locked.

Do you think Hillary Clinton will stand despite her saying that she's retiring from politics? Do you think she should stand as she'll be 69 then but so was Reagan when he was elected!

I'm going to predict that she'll become the first woman President in exactly 4 years' time. I'd love a Clinton-Palin contest but Palin will never get the Republican nomination. Can't see VP Biden standing as he'll be too old.

Clinton-Palin would actually be the most fun election ever (providing we get an absolute Clinton landslide)

I'm saying she would be fun to watch as a presidential candidate (even if just for all animated TV shows that will be making CONSTANT fun of her).

She never actually said that. That misquote comes from the episode of Saturday Night Live that aired just after her vice-Presidency was nominated.

And anyway, I can't see the Republicans giving her the nod for the Presidency. Whilst she is surprisingly popular amongst the average American (or at least was when I was in America), she would get absolutely destroyed in the debates. I imagine it'll be someone like Jeb Bush or Chris Christie for the Republicans. For the Democrats, it seems a little less clear cut who they'll chose, but I can't see it being Hilary Clinton.

My gut feeling at the moment is that Hillary Clinton will go for it but only if she is very confident of winning. The assumption four years ago was that Biden wouldn't stand in 2016 but there seem to be a lot of people now saying he might.

As for the Republicans, it depends on whether they continue to occupy Planet La-La or return to Planet Earth. Chris Christie is being portrayed as a moderate who may appeal to swing voters (unless they decide he's a heart attack waiting to happen). However, with the Republican party as it is he would have to move well to the right to have a chance of winning the nomination. However, if the Republicans come to their senses they might realise they need a more moderate candidate. After all, they have only won the popular vote in a Presidential election once since 1988.

Of course there's a fair chance one or both candidates will be people most of us have never heard of at the moment.

Do you mean you don't think she'll stand or she wouldn't win the nominaton? I think she'd certainly get the nomination if she stood!

Chris Christie or Marco Rubio would be worryingly promising candidates as far as Republicans go - the former obviously had it in mind when he praised Obama for how he dealt with Sandy and the latter would earn a lot more ethnic minority votes that cost them so dearly this time.

I'd be happy to see Paul Ryan get the nod though, I can't see him being a threat although he's slick enough and batshit terrible enough to get the nomination.

I think Andrew Cuomo would be a worthwhile candidate for the Democrats (if Biden or Clinton weren't running). I wouldn't be surprised if John Thune got the Republican nomination because I think he was nearly Romney's running mate?

Also, I see Puerto Rico have voted to become part of the United States. I don't have any knowledge in relation to Puerto Rico so I have no idea if they'd be Democrat or Republican. I'd imagine they'd go Blue?

It would be interesting if Biden and Clinton both decide to stand! I heard someone on Sky News say that he thinks Biden WILL stand. Apparently he's dropped a few hints privately. wink.gif The VP has no automatic right to the Nomination and they could go for Clinton or someone else, thinking that Biden's just too old to complete two possible full terms. smile.gif That's assuming Biden doesn't ascend to the Presidency before 2016 and I'm sure n one of us wish that to happen.

The president has no right to the nomination. Jimmy Carter was challenged in 1980.

Yes I know that. Just as a matter of interest, do you know who challenged him, without looking it up? I do.

I don't understand Twitter at all. I just Tweeted Sarah Palin and told her she should run next time but can't see my Tweet. Shouldn't it be top of the Tweets on the right hand side of her Tweets page? Help!

No, only her own tweets and stuff she retweets are on her profile. She'll have been notified that you tweeted her, though.
