The media may be able to cover this up but don’t think the Democratic Party apparatus isn’t gripping big time over this. Hillary is an implosion waiting to happen but as far as potential Democrat presidential candidates go she’s all they got right now. I was listening to Glenn Beck’s show this morning. He was out but his crew were talking about the problems the Dems were going to have with Hillary and were floating names as possible replacements for her. The one name they put out there that caught my attention was Algore. Wouldn’t that be a hoot? With such a short presidential bench after Hillary I think he would get some serious consideration.
I could see any number of the current Democratic Governors coming out to put their toes in the water. Cuomo most likely, though he’s recently been stung. Beshear in Kentucky or Wolf out of PA. McAuliffe (VA) or Inslee (WA). Don’t think Brown (CA) would make a play, but that guys so off anything is possible.
Either Cali senator (DIFI/Boxer) could be considering it...lord knows they’d have the base and could claim more intl experience then Clinton can. Warner’s been a governor (VA) and senator he might decide to pitch the hat in.
They don’t have name recog like Clinton, but I don’t think we’re going to be short of demos throwing a hat in the ring. Who really heard of Dean before Iowa in 2000 (I think)?
They have 10 up for reelection in the senate (vs repubs 23) - any of them might throw a hat in the ring just looking for a cabinet seat to finish a career.
