And It looks more and more like Christie is interested in the job as well

I can see the Stupid party running Christie. I'm not sure the Obama-nation will let Hillary in the door.

Well, at least there would be a chance of seeing perhaps a record number of third party votes...

Too soon. The early candidates generally don't get the nomination.

It's not too early for Hillary.  The Democrat nomination is hers for the asking.  Christie on the other hand, I doubt he will be the GOP nominee.  It is indeed too early for him to be the one.  But rest assured the GOP will pick an equally stupid nominee.

How depressing.

I'd say that the odds are very good that Hillary will be the Dem candidate for 2016. If it was not for Obama being the golden boy (he was chosen long before 2008...I knew he was going to be the Chosen One for 2008 after he gave the keynote speech at the Dem convention in 2004 and everybody was fawning over him). It was a hard decision for them to support Obama over Hillary but they went with the young, hip, black guy that was obviously going to walk all over the old, uncool McCain. Now it's Hillary's turn and I haven't heard of a golden boy waiting in the wings that could oppose her. The dems will unify behind her and steamroll over any challenger to the Dem nomination. This is one thing the Democrats are often very good at- picking one candidate and backing them to the hilt. It's now time to put the first woman in the white house and the Dems are shooting for that.

On the Republican side, Christie may or may not be the candidate that gets picked. For certain, it will be somebody like him. The Republicans let the opposition choose the Republican candidate. Notice how the viable candidates in the past elections were eliminated in favor of a RINO with no chance. Character assassination, lies, false accusations, whatever it takes, the viable candidates will be erased. Factions within the Republican party will assist. We will end up with a RINO candidate that is a gift from heaven for the Dems for two reasons

1) He's easily defeatable. He will not be charismatic. He will be portrayed at every turn as a doddering idiot. He will be the mean old rascist, sexist white guy that is hated by everyone. The weak RINO candidate will receive little support within his own party as those that do not like him will not support him.

2) Even if the RINO does win, the Dems do not lose. They have somebody that is easily malleable to going along with their legislative schemes. They have somebody that will help them more than hurt them, and vice versa for the Republicans. They have a patsy to blame when everything goes south "The republican president ruined the economy" or "he got us into a senseless war" or what have you. Easy to drum up anti republican sentiment for the next election.



Everybody wins-- except for America and her people.

Hey, it just gives me an excuse to leave the stupid party all together now.

[Northwoods]

I've already seen a "Hillary 2016" bumper sticker.

If Chistie in the GOP nominee there's not much point in not voting 3rd party.  I'm only ammenable to voting for a RINO if the alternative is really that bad.  At least by comparison.  With CC that test would fail.

Hillary v. Christie

Ebola v. The Black Death.

Such a choice. 

[dogmush]

See I disagree.

I think Benghazi, and her sickness during the hearings about it have tarnished her enough they won't run her*.  That said I don't have a clue who they will pick.

*My evidence for this belief is anecdotal from liberals in my wife's family (upper midwest) and liberals that I'm currently deployed with (SF bay area). Two diverse subsets of liberals that have both gotten sick of Mrs. Clinton.

yes it is.  Wait until they are in the same city at the same time.

If she is the candidate they will fall in line to defeat whatever rinopotamus the gop runs.

Agreed there.  My sources (heh) imply that she will once again fail to receive the nomination.

[makattak]

... It's now time to put the first woman in the white house and the Dems are shooting for that.

...

And this is why Republicans have to play identity politics.

It's stupid. It's ugly. It's detrimental to the country's unity and future.

It also, clearly, works. Republicans need to run a woman, simply for the fact that she is a woman (which, I know, is sexist, but apparently women don't care if people are sexist in favor of women), in order to take away the "HISTORIC FIRST!!11!!11!" that the Democrats will be running on.

It's still not a lock for the Republicans to win in that case, but at least it takes one of the arrows out of the Democrat identity politics quiver.

[bedlamite]

I was hoping for the later this month during the SOTU address.

An asteroid strike on D.C. during the State of the Union address. That thought almost gives me a woody.

I wouldn't be surprised.

Probably wouldn't vote either.

[AZRedhawk44]

Wouldn't surprise me to see Harry Reid throw his hat into the ring.  He's well rated by the NRA, taking the 2A arrow out of the GOP quiver.  And he's supposedly more centrist than most other Democrats, even though he shills for Obamacare and every other lame social engineering program the dems come up with.  Not sure how he enjoys the rep he does.

Christie will eat Rand Paul for second breakfast brunch elevensies lunch afternoon tea dinner supper in the primaries, though.

That's unfair to both ebola and the plague. They'll kill you within what, a week or three? Hillary or Christie would kill you slowly over the course of atleast 4 years.

[Waitone]

Hillary could easily run the table.  Just come out in favor of repeal of Obamacare because it was unworkable.  Her plan of the 90's was much better and would work just fine.  She would provide lots of cover for democrats heading for the tall weeds as a result of their support for a draconian program.

Would never happen.  Both Hillarycare and Obamacare share one thing in common.  It has nothing to do with medical care and is all about generating cash flow for fed.gov.
