I'll say it again: there is a really good chance that most of us here are not familiar with the person who is going to be the nominee in 2016. The dark horse route is suddenly viable again for Democrats, and that means younger candidates with high competence but low current visibility are out their right now making their plans.
It's not going to be Hillary, or Kerry or Gore. It is going to be someone new who doesn't have George Bush's shit all over him (or her), someone who didn't participate at all in the disastrous politics of the first decade of this millennium.
That is the candidate who is going to stand out distinctly from the corruption and deceit of Jeb Bush.
Oh, and while you're not asking, it will be Jeb Bush on the other side. There are no statutes of limitations on murder, treason, and conspiring against the government. Once President Obama's next term ends, the records of the Bush Administration can be released, and just like the Fool had to hide the records of his father's evil tenure, Jeb has to get in there and hide George's.
Or they're all going to jail.
