Remember Hillary was basically dubbed as the heir apparent for 2008 about this time in Bush's final term. Then BO emerged out of nowhere and took it from her. It could happen again. Between now and 2016 is a political eternity. A lot can change before then.

A think the Governor of New Mexico, a female Latino, would be a wise vp candidate. Having an African American on the ticket wouldn't sway enough AA voters who vote 95% or better for Democrats. Latinos are much more liable to be swayed to vote GOP if there was a Latino on the ticket. Obviously Rubio or Cruz would be good choices too, but a female Latino is a double whammy.

I agree with you except that I think I've fallen off the Rubio bandwagon.

I don't think he's much of a leader.

I won't be volunteering for him again.
