One US newspaper is speculating on the prospect of another Clinton v Bush contest, Hillary v Jeb (the man who fiddled Florida 2000 for his dimmer brother).

In a way it'd be a shame if the Democrat nomination went to Clinton or Biden (although the latter is unlikely) given it'd be a bit of a retrograde step. I'm not well up enough on their younger generation to suggest an alternative, though. If they were going to go for someone older I'd love it to be Gore but there's more chance of Obama invading Canada.

Palin is definitely NOT fit for president. If Palin were president, I do not know what I would do........

FDR did three and a bit before the 22nd Amendment came in. I can't see it being changed again, and I understand that for a position with the power of the Presidency it'd be pushing it a bit democratically to let them stay as long as they can.
Of course there's the question of whether Obama would be more electable that someone else anyway. |

I think as non-American's who live outside of the United States the prospect of more Obama is highly pleasing to us as he's the most, EuroFriendly president they've had. Especially when we sit and look at the prospect of someone like Palin, who makes us worry for the future safety of humanity. I still can't fathom the American's hatred of Healthcare reforms that Obama introduced that would allow more access to healthcare for the worst off, they seem to want to cling on to the developed worlds worst system for provision of healthcare. I'm sure they have really wonderful hospitals and staff, if you can afford it....

I love the idea that the best place to get free healthcare from the US is Guantanamo Bay.

Medical care is one of the reasons why despite my love of America, I couldn't live there permanently. And there's no way that the Republicans would allow Sarah Palin to get the nod for the presidential race. She might be reasonably popular with certain Americans, but even the Republicans aren't silly enough to let her run, she'd be annihilated in the debates. |

Palin's time has passed now....even Fox News have had enough of her and 'let her go' from the "punditry" she was supposedly providing for them. The Republicans do seem to finally be moving away from the lunatic fringe, so it will probably be someone like Chris Christie for them next time.
Obviously Hillary is the big favourite at this point, BUT I read somewhere that, in US elections where the incumbent isn't running, the initial favourite hasn't actually gone on to win once in the last 30 years or something, so.... I wouldn't be completely shocked to see Biden go for it... if the Obama administration is still popular in 3 years then there might be the demand for a continuity candidate.

That only covers three elections though so it's not exactly a massive trend. Hillary Clinton currently has the advantage that she is far better known to the American public than any other potential contender apart from Joe Biden. That is bound to affect the odds quoted by the bookies. |

It would be interesting if Biden decides to run and Hillary challenges him for the Nomination. I think she'd get it.

I think it'd be more a case of Hilary deciding to run and Biden challenging her given how much of a front-runner she is!
