In reply to the discussion: Clinton has largest recorded early primary lead in at least 30 years. [View all]elfin
(6,262 posts)17. I hope some strong contenders emerge
I would welcome her Presidency, albeit with reservations of her corporatist slant.
However, if something godawful should happen to her between now and then, we could be screwn.
Adore Joe, but age and past health crises would be very real problems.
I think it is too early for Warren, plus I think she is now in the right place at the right time.
We need more younger, energetic, experienced Progressives with national recognition on our bench.
May still be too early for the Castro guys, but I yearn for more national exposure for them.

Actually, her lead over Obama when he first entered the race was about 15 points.
