12. It's a bit early to have a horse in that race.

But I will post my thinking.

Hillary? I don't think I'd support her in the primaries, but I might, depending who else is in the race.

I don't think I'd support Liz Warren either, due to lack of experience, no matter who's running against her. I like her as a Senator. And I think that she's going to be a great one.

I want a 2016 candidate with some experience at the national level. Hillary certainly fills that requirement. But Liz does not, IMHO.

I would support Joe Biden but his age may be an issue.

For the life of me I cannot think of anybody else.

I am very disappointed in President Obama. He just doesn't seem to know what to do about the Republicans. Any candidate would have to first satisfy this complaint.

That's it probably for at least two years for me.
