I think there will be other candidates.

You have any particular ones in mind?

The dude with a boot on his head declared his candidacy.

If I were forced to bet Yi :P

In terms of likely candidates at this stage, O'Malley's been spending a fair amount of time in Iowa and New Hampshire.

No. I've no idea who would beat her, but I think she's very beatable.

That's morbid. Shame on you.
Shame! :(

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

He never forgot about you.

Nah, not true at all. No matter who wins, the 0.5% wins, so we don't ALL lose!

I'd be more than happy to take your money from you.  The only other people who have expressed even the slightest interest so far are Captain Communist and Lady Occupy, and I don't believe either have made a move in that direction in the last six months.
O'Malley?  He's neither Sanders nor Warren.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Yep.  Vermin Supreme.  Great name.  Apparently "Terry McAuliffe" was taken.

The only way to win is not to play. But someone always has to play!   :D

All of it, but the Clinton part in particular.
My opinion's unchanged from 2008. She's a weak candidate with a ruthless operation around her. If they can fix it so it's a coronation, she'll do fine. If there's ever any other candidates, my money would be on her losing (not least because all that ruthlessness turns inwards when there's trouble). I think there will be other candidates.

Edit: And the rest's fairly uncontentious :P

There's a new book coming out soon detailing the connections between the Clinton foundation and some favorable deals made for foreign governments. NY Times called the writer meticulous in supporting his work, and I assume the NYT will also be looking into things. We'll see what comes up over this now. Maybe Hillary should hurry and find all those deleted emails on her server and give the media something more shiny to peruse, to deflect attention from this new shiny bauble.

I've heard the sentiment expressed before this and server gate of how Dem operatives worry over what else may come out, especially if they put all their eggs in the Hillary basket. It's still early but I have to think that more Dems will run against Hillary. They almost have to it would seem, as even if a candidate is a good one it's very odd not to have a strong primary race.

Webb from Virginia.

If his name really was "Webb from Virginia" and he was from Mass, he'd be "the guy from Mass. with the weird name."  :P
