35. I agree, but around here they don't see further than their nose.

2016 will not be like 2008 when people were yearning for a change after Bush. Democrats are now in power and traditionally it's hard for a party to have a third term in the WH. The only thing I see on this site is infighting and a 24/7 campaign against the most viable potential candidate.

As I said before, I will vote for a block of cheese in 2016 if it has a "D" after its name, to prevent Republicans from winning the WH and stacking the Supreme Court. THAT is far more important to me than whatever possible flaws any of our candidates may be perceived to have.
