Democrats in Washington are starting to shift from the Obamas to the Clintons.

Hillary Clinton has already racked up a couple of endorsements for the 2016 presidential race — and she hasn’t even announced she’s running yet. Requests are flooding in for the former secretary of State to campaign for candidates.
Of course, President Obama remains the most sought-after figure, but his star power could fade in the coming months as the chatter about his successor intensifies. His approval rating has fallen as his administration has grappled with a variety of controversies ranging from IRS overreach to government snooping.
“The political focus of the Democratic Party will shift to Hillary, and in some ways it has already,” said former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D), who, as a staunch Clinton supporter, has an interest in seeing his forecast come true.
He noted that while Obama will be the policy leader of the party, there will be an “inherent transition” politically to the person Democrats see as the next leader.

Sarah, IMO, is no Mark Levin when it comes to telling the honest truth about the Fuhrer and his Regime. Sarah does the typical political two-step when “bold and direct” answers are needed.
Not again not ever again will I vote for someone the GOPe has selected for me. Not McCain, not Romney, not Bush, not Rubio, not Ryan, maybe, just maybe Rand Paul or Ted Cruz, so far. They should stay in the Senate, more effective.
If you're bound and determined to be the gop's bitch, then mazel tov. If I want to be treated like dirt, lied to and taken for granted I could just call my ex-wife.
Just what I thought.
Foul language but no answers. Typical.
Excellent
Be sure to ask for a reach around in 2016.
Yep still no answers.
You’re not looking for answers. You’re just looking to justify being treated like dirt by a political party.
Nobody thinks of Joe as the heir apparent to Obama, but Joe will certainly be a candidate in the 2016 primaries.
I don’t understand all this talk of Hillary being inevitable and the front runner and all that. Hillary was the inevitable front runner leading up to the 2008 election cycle. Yet she was defeated by Obama. Most Americans had never heard of Obama at this point leading up to the 2008 election cycle. Could there be some other Democrat out there who will take Hillary down?
The point is, Hillary was inevitable once before and was defeated. Why does anyone think that Hillary is so inevitable now? Maybe the Clintons time has come and gone???
Need I go on?
You have nada.
Don't know if it will be Jeb Bush. If you don't want him work for someone else in the primary.
Personally I will vote for whomever is the GOP nominee against the Witch in the general and anyone determined not to do so is a whiner.
Good. We need people like you to use as examples of what not to do.
Just what I expected.
Last time Obama ran slightly to Hillary's left and took her down.
I wouldn't be surprised if this time there was someone to her right like Evan Bayh who beats her.
And, in the 2008 primaries, Hillary had some of the highest negatives ever recorded in polling for a major party presidential candidate. I think her support is a mile wide and an inch deep. She’s ripe for a challenge. She was inevitable once and was taken out. It could happen again.
They're losing young people right now and I think a full bore effort for feminism is going to take place...thus the constant Hillary talk.
But like you I expect her support may falter over the next months as there is good potential for more State Dept revelations.
The best candidate is one that resists running and does not openly seek the position but is drafted. I don’t want anyone that will sell their soul to have the job.
I have voted in every election since the disco era and I am foreseeing sitting out for the first time in my life if my choice is any Bush, Rubio, Paul, Ryan, Walker, or Christie. I used to try and swallow the vote for the R candidate because the other alternative is a dim (Supreme Court and all that crap too) and because I believe if you don’t vote you haven’t the right to complain, but I am ready to just bite the bullet and bunker up.
I am just not excited anymore and if that is the best we can do the the Republic needs to end so we can revolt and reset it.
The answer is if Bush or any other loser GOPe gets the nod (because our primary system is BS letting small non-conservative states go first) and you go ahead and vote the GOP never gets the message even in a loss that their candidate sucked. They blame it on turnout, money, whatever... If enough truly do sit out and the data can be correlated that they sat out because the candidate sucked then they will get the message.
It is bad for the country but the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again (like running a GOPe) and expecting a different outcome.
