50. O'Malley I'd consider after getting to know more about him

Castro maybe too inexperienced at this point, but I would never rule it out down the road. He could be the first Hispanic president. Richardson is one of the three I don't think will run (the other two being Clinton and Biden). I honestly don't think we'll see anyone from 2008 on the D side run again.

Thank you for at least providing a List of Dems we could "check out" KoKo Oct 2013 #40
People seem to think Christie will run davidpdx Oct 2013 #52

I meant one of the Castros, not both at the same time. IrishAyes Oct 2013 #70
Sorry...tongue in cheek a bit...who could choose one of them for VP? libdem4life Oct 2013 #72
One twin for governor, the other for VP. I like 'em both. And when a person gets the nod IrishAyes Oct 2013 #73
One of the Castros for VP is a great idea emsimon33 Oct 2013 #87
