An early look at the 2016 Democratic presidential contenders

CBS
The 2012 primary campaign was not particularly exciting on the Democratic side: President Obama did not face a serious challenger, which meant almost all of the attention was focused on the Republican battle for the nomination. But with Mr. Obama entering his second term, the next presidential election will bring with it a primary fight on both sides - and attention is now turning to which Democrats will face off for the chance to succeed the president in the Oval Office. Click on the arrow below to look at the early contenders. (For the early buzz among the Republicans, click here.)

The nomination and the election are pretty much Hillary Clinton's, is she wants it
Biden is a nice guy but he's a gaffe machine and the butt of too many jokes, plus he'll be to old
Coumo is from NY. Guys from the northeast just don't do too well. Remember: Dukakis. Kerry, Romney...
Mark Warner would be a good candidate since he comes from a swing state and has experience as a governor AND a senator.
All I can tell you is that it doesn't matter who the Dems. pick as long as the GOP decides to stick with the "Pander to the rich white male vote and screw everyone else" mentality.

Obama is now at 50.8% and Romney at 47.5%
Romney has steadily been going down as vote tallying continues. The guy who dissed 47% of the nation only got 47% of the vote. Now THAT is poetic justice.

I agree mary, and have to laugh at such racist comments like this by the highly-partisan and very polarizing infant:
"The white plantation owners of the Democrat Party have returned."
