8. Really not possible to say
Sat Nov 3, 2012, 07:45 PM
Nov 2012

In late November 2004, Hillary Clinton was the undefeatable nominee of the Dem Party for 2008.

Didn't turn out that way at all.

It is going to be an interesting 4 years as it becomes apparent that the world has passed peak oil, that climate change is real and human caused and that the days of economic growth . . . anywhere, are over and that a transition to a new economic model is in order.

Really not possible to say who the party nominates in the face of all that change.
