At this point I'll put my money on Republican for the next 8 years purely because I think the every eight years white house flip hypothesis has some merit; but I reserve the right to change my guess when the Republican Primary is concluded.

I haven't been looking but I don't see a dark horse break out republican and for the last ... eh 24 years there has been no strong republican candidate (for some value of "strong").

Yes this means I think George W Bush's election success was primarily name recognition and due to the American voters flipping the white house every 8 years rather than any intrinsic quality George W Bush had.

Place your bets everyone, lets see where the ball lands this time.

If you're looking for me, you better check under the sea

I put £20 on Obama when he was 20-1 before even the Dem primaries and won 400 in 2006/7, and did a similar thing betting on Ed Miliband over his brother

Basically I understand White People Politics and I'll tell u who will win for a fee, line up

Hillary has a poo poo load of donors, and whoever spends the most money wins the election. That's why she's gonna win the Democratic primary and why the Republicans are making GBS threads themselves.

a republican candidate has to spend all his time pre-primary talking about how much he loves jesus and hates gays, and all his time post-primary trying not to sound like a crazy fundie

it's tough out there for 'em

quote:

Ending two years of speculation and coy denials, Hillary Rodham Clinton announced on Sunday that she would seek the presidency for a second time, immediately establishing herself as the likely 2016 Democratic nominee.

“I’m running for president,” she said with a smile near the end of a two-minute video released just after 3 p.m.

Predictions for a running-mate? Clinton / Biden 2016?
