Had Hilary won in 2008, and made it through 2 complete terms, we would have had 28 straight years with either a Bush or a Clinton in the White House.  A Jeb Bush win in 2016 and re-election 4 years later could have pushed that to 36 years.  Maybe then it would have been Chelsea's turn.

I don't see why that is inherently a problem.

Veep will probably be a woman.  Probably a more intelligent woman than last time.
PDH!

I think it depends on how much the Tea Party wing dissipates;  if the HNIC wins reelection, they'll be just as strong in 2016, as his existence is the only reason why they're in existence.

It isn't, though it's a bit of interesting trivia.  Actually, I guess it's less than that--it's would-have-been or might-have-been trivia.

Apparently, the Veep Shortlist:
Jindal, Pawlenty, Portman, Rubio, Ryan.

Ick.

Natalie Portman and Meg Ryan could warm Mitt's image a bit.

I don't know if Natalie will be considered a natural born citizen or not, but at any rate she has to wait 'til 2016 due to age requirement.
