There has been much speculation about who will the Democrats and Republicans run for the Presidency in 2016 twenty months from now. Of course with Obama one never knows what he will pull between now and then to stay in power; but assuming that is not true and there is an election in November 2016 who will be running?  Well here are my picks for both parties.

For the Democrats:

For President Al Gore

For Vice President Elizabeth Warren

For the Republicans:

For Scott Walker

For Vice President Marco Rubio

I’m actually less sure about the Republican side than the Democrat side because I do not think Hillary will run, she is just not a politician and too many people in power know that. The Clinton money will not be able to overcome her deficiencies and they will talk her out of running.  Actually I see her more as the President of the UN which would be a nice consolation prize. That leaves no one of national stature for the Democrats so why not Al Gore?  In fact since this is the year that there will be a major push for a BINDING Climate treaty he maybe the best one for them.  Then put Warren as VP and that team would be hard to beat.
