Weigh in here with your pick for the 2016 nomination!!!!!!!

[JeffR]

Since there's nothing important going on right now, like, say, taking back one or both houses of Congress, why don't we discuss who the Democratic nominee should be in 2016?

I'll humbly kick off the speculation.

My first choice is Cate Edwards, John's eldest child. Honors in Political Economy from Princeton, former intern at the Council on Foreign Relations, and media savvy (she's an editorial assistant at Vanity Fair!). Just one problem here: she'll only be 34 in 2016, so she won't make the age requirement for the office. But let's keep her in mind for 2020.

What about someone older, more experienced? Well, who's older and more experienced than Senator Robert Byrd? And he'll only be 99. Venerable yes, but still in double digits.

George Clooney? Susan Sarandon? Well, I've run out of ideas. Your thoughts? Share your opinions here. Times a'wastin! It's only ten years away!

And please keep this kicked even if you don't have your pick yet. I just can't stand seeing threads about Congressional races and other ephemera hovering near the top of the page.

Thanks for your assistance with this vital topic, DUers! Together, if we can all get behind a nominee who's at least 25 years old now, we can take the White House in '16!!!!!!
