I've been telling my Democratic friends that Hillary Clinton will not be the Democratic candidate in 2016. Too much baggage, too old, too ill, and a bad record of campaigning. Warren and Booker look like better candidates, but I suspect a star governor will show up and get the nomination.
The two Senators in recent memory that won the Presidency, JFK ...[text shortened]... and BHO both were very short term Senators who hadn't had the chance to mouth off in the Senate.
Warren is too liberal I think but it would be great to have her as President. Even with Hillary's baggage, I think she plays better with Ohio moderates, for example, than Warren.
