White guilt has been assuaged with the election of Obama. I doubt we’ll see another black man/woman elected for at least a generation.
You’d think we would have learned a lesson electing U.S. Senators with thin resumes (a la Warren) as well, but who knows.
I think Biden will give it a go and that will be entertaining. Maybe Rahm Emanuel, too.
I would not count Deval Patrick out. Cuomo is a possibility too, though a more remote one. The Dems will be against nominating another white male.
Sadly, I think the country has shifted demographically and ideologically. Too many people (of all races) dependent on free stuff. Too few red states. Whoever the Democratic nominee is, they will have a built in advantage.
Jerry Brown might do it too. He’s old, but he could pull it off.
