January 14, 201511 yr I have such a love/hate relationship with Rand Paul. Not sure what I'll do if he wins the GOP nomination. Vote for HIllary? I don't think I could vote for her if even if the Obama's water spaniels were running against her.
January 14, 201511 yr Vote for HIllary? I don't think I could vote for her if even if the Obama's water spaniels were running against her.Paul is probably the only chance I'd vote for the GOP candidate. I haven't saw anyone from the Dems I'd vote for. As of now, my vote is Gary Johnson's to lose.
January 14, 201511 yr Paul is probably the only chance I'd vote for the GOP candidate. I haven't saw anyone from the Dems I'd vote for. As of now, my vote is Gary Johnson's to lose. Which of the current crop of GOP candidates is capable of flipping one of the Democratic big-electoral states? That's how this election will be won by Republicans in '16. This election has zilch to do with Kentucky or Kansas, but everything to do with flipping Pennsylvania or California or Michigan/Ohio. (And remember, U.S. is becoming less Caucasian every day.)

I could care less if the Republicans win the White House or not. They sucks just as bad, if not worse than the Democrats.

January 14, 201511 yr So, besides Hilary, are there any Democratic contenders? Of the Republicans, Christie would be most likely to to sway my vote, although, I am willing to CONSIDER Paul. I'm still struggling with the lure of Paul's siren song....something is wrong with me. Anyway...Christie would be the most likely to sway my vote.

I'm still struggling with the lure of Paul's siren song....something is wrong with me. Anyway...Christie would be the most likely to sway my vote. I am not convinced Hillary is a legit threat to win. Not sure about the contenders. It seems like it is a great chance for the Republicans to take the White House.
January 14, 201511 yr Rand Paul will have to work to get my vote but he'd likely get it. Of the GOP candidates I like Christie the best but I don't think he's a realistic candidate.

This is kind of where I am at right now. I'm certain I won't be voting for Hillary but that could change. Gary Johnson is the only other person I am considering voting for besides Paul, Christie or Hillary.

Not long ago the left was clamoring for Senator Warren but you don't hear as much of that now. I wonder how the centrist democrats like former governors Bayh (IN) or Richardson (NM) would fare?

I wonder how the centrist democrats like former governors Bayh (IN) or Richardson (NM) would fare? Probably about as well as centrist Republicans do with the lunatic fringes of their party, who dominate the primary voting. They all get labeled as RINOS, so I'm sure these folks will get labeled as DINOs.

They all get labeled as RINOS, so I'm sure these folks will get labeled as DINOs. Democrats seem to be a little more tolerant of candidates who do not fit the mold of who they want. Fringe left democrats felt Bill Clinton was too Centrist but after the primary, still supported him in the general election and reelection. Centrist democrats didn't care for how far left Obama was but still came out to support him in the general election and reelection. Is a divide starting to build in the Democratic party like has formed in the Republican party?

On the republican side we have Paul, Christie, Rubio, Romney, J. Bush, Palin, etc. Some new faces and old faces and a chance to see if anything new may be said or take place. On the democrats side we have Hillary. Mehhhh.... This upcoming election has the whole feel of 2004 to me when a lame duck John Kerry was sent to represent the democrats in the presidential election.
