46. I think Hillary means it when she is going to retire, but.....

.....I love the idea of Martin O'Malley being on the 2016, whether it be top or bottom.

But I don't think Hillary's going to run. Between her and Bill, I don't think there are two people with a more impressive list of accomplishments and I think they've probably reached the apex. Bill will be doing his thing worldwide, and Hillary will be over 70, I believe. Perhaps Chelsea will be a mom by then and maybe Hillary might want to just enjoy sitting back and being a grandparent. But I don't know.

But yes definitely to O'Malley. Maryland has avoided the worst of the Great Recession thanks to O'Malley's policies, and Maryland has arguably the best public education system in the state. Plus the guy is a rock star. Literally. A rock star.

Well, we had a lot of help quick on that! How about Warren/Grayson? freshwest Mar 2012 #10

I think Warren be would be better served in the Senate for a couple of years, a great ally. Also, FarLeftFist Mar 2012 #14

Well, O'Malley as Governor is good. But he's not from a big state, though. A lot of influence, true, freshwest Mar 2012 #19

Progressive Dem Governor of Maryland. He's smart and he's attractive. I saw him get into it CTyankee Mar 2012 #44

I'm thinking O'Malley and VP Warren. Both have powerful minds and hearts. freshwest Mar 2012 #47

I'm tired of thinking as women only as VP candidates, not Pres. It's way past time for CTyankee Mar 2012 #52

The only reason I put her in the VP slot is the old Governors are better meme. But that didn't stop freshwest Mar 2012 #54
