No guarantee Hillary WILL run.... but she's got to do the things candidates do in order to be ready. Many things can happen in a year or so to change the landscape..... even health.

The Democrats have a number of candidates who...I think... could do the job, but name recognition and fund-raising are huge obstacles these days... and Hillary has everyone's attention until she either declares or backs out.

I'd vote for Elizabeth Warren in a heartbeat, but I think she is so valuable where she is.

I'm sure Joe Biden could do the job, but he has so many film clips of himself making off-the-wall remarks...all no doubt stored & ready by Republicans.

The Republicans have NO ONE in sight right now that has studied History, the Constitution, relevant public policy....etc. All they do is toss off conservative talking points...even when some contradict others.
They are forming interactive circular firing squads to shoot down Cristie, Jeb Bush... and each other. I don't think they expect to win in 2016, and are just positioning themselves for jobs & $$$$ from the exposure.
