While waiting for Election Day results, here’s a reminder that 2016 is only four years away. A list of 10 Democrats who could be top presidential contenders next cycle.

[Duke C.]

FreeRepublicans-

Where's our list?

[tsowellfan]

Gov Scott Walker

I'll tell you who should NOT be on the list:
Newt Gingrich,Rick Santorum, Rich Perry, Ron Paul or Michele Bachman.
These are the people who forced a divisive primary that cost Romney precious time and money that ultimately cost the Republicans the election.
As long as the Republican candidates waste their time on social issues such as abortion and gay rights they will continue to lose national elections.
If they focus on fiscal matters, smaller and less intrusive government and a strong defense they will unite the country and have a winning formula.

Who are the 2016 GOP front runners?

Who are the BEST likely GOP/Tea Party candidates? Marco Rubio? Sarah Palin (or has she decided to be permanently out)?

[Truth29]

Such optimism: After four more years of Dear Leader, how much of a country will be left and will Presidential elections be any more than Potemkin Village exercises?

[napscoordinator]

They have some very well known Democrats on that list. Oh Lord, if O’Malley is picked, we are in deep trouble especially if he is elected.

[napscoordinator]

Newt Gingrich,Rick Santorum, Rich Perry, Ron Paul or Michele Bachman.

Yes our conservative superstars are the ones you want out. Ridiculous. Plus if poor little Mitt couldn’t sell himself with SIX months of running then it is him that sucked and blaming the patriotic conservatives is not valid. Romney sucked and that is what he was kicked to the curb by the electorate. Next time NO LIBERAL REPUBLICANS!!!!!

O’Malley will run and win.
I live in MD.
He is the first to get a statewide referrendum on Gay Marriage to pass

God Bless you. I live in Anne Arundel and cannot believe the liberalism in Maryland. Luckily I sorta live in a county that is somewhat Republican. I won’t say conservative....that is for sure.

[Paradox]

Tell ya what Naps, I'll take a true blue conservative, just to see what happens. I dont believe he would win at this point, but I'd be willing to settle this experiment once and for all.. We would need a conservative that does not come across as a crank, however. I just dont know if there are any at this point who arent politically damaged.

I'm more of the small government persuasion, but what the heck, I'm game at this point to try anything.

Hopefully the Democrats run Joe next time, the guy is too white to win as a Democrat.

[Tupelo]

No Republican list because, there ain't 10 Republicans that could win more than one or two states.
the Republican party is dying. One maybe two more presidential cycles and ................infinity.

[Does so]

Do you have electronic voting?

[Mrs. P]

Sarah Palin, Allen West, Marco Rubio - just the ones I know now. There were others who spoke at the convention who we seriously liked too.

[kenmcg]

The RATS could put up any “Fearless Fosdic” who would win handily with the the fraudulent illiterate voters in the US.

Okay. Everybody. Sing with me.

One of these things is not quite the same.

Consider them all frauds.

[mountn man]

I agree.

I'm kind of thinking this election was just window dressing for the people.

[freekitty]

No to Rubio. However would love to see Levin

[RetiredArmy]

I don’t care about the stinking communists. A communist is a communist. This mob of RINOs needs to go and the stupid republicans need to et their head out and get something accomplished. They need to choose the person soon and start having that person be the mouth piece and getting his/her face out there and blame Obama for everything failure he accomplishes.
