I went with Rubio. He's got more common sense than all the people in Congress combined. Ted is a doofus.

Mass Senator. She claimed to be of native American descent and used it to help get a teaching gig at Harvard. Unfortunately it's not true. She is a real boob.

MA Senator, responsible for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, bounced Scott Brown out of office, is really interested in reducing student loan interest these days

But if that's the only claim to fame why can't she do that as a Senator? Just asking.

Yeah, no votes for Huckabee or Santorum.

Exactly and three too many for the candidate with mental capacity/brain issues.

The poll shows a pretty strong libertarian streak here.

I'm not sure why she's listed here. She has stated emphatically again, and again, and again that she has no interest in running for President (at least not in 2016).

was surprised Perry didnt' make your list, GTS... Although I would have stuck with my choice for Walker.

Because there are some Democratic power-brokers that are still trying to push her for running for some reason.

I voted for Rand Paul. Unfortunately for him, he's not the kind of guy to make wild and crazy promises and is more likely to tell the truth. He's toast.

Johnson?

In El Paso we're so close to New Mexico it seems that we know N.M. politics better than the rest of the U.S. and we'd probably wouldn't even vote Johnson for dog catcher.

Dude, I just moved to Las Cruces. What did I get myself into?

Because it's not 100% certain Hillary will run.
Her ego will be fed much more by NOT running and having everyone saying she would have won,than actually running. And why would she want to run? She's accomplished a whole lot on her own (Senator, and Sec State). Running for President and winning will be seen in large part to Bill who would be much more involved this time around. In short, it's not worth the headache. (Pun intended)

Observations:

- Rand has lost some of his father's base. The fact that folks will pull the trigger for Gary over a presumptive GOP nominated Rand says something.
- The Democrat bench is approximately "non-existent". It's Hillary and then the cupboard is bare.
--- Related to the above: the blue dog is officially extinct. They were slaughtered in the 2010 midterms after voting for ObamaCare and haven't been seen since. Not one single person even being TALKED about for the Democrats is remotely moderate. And that is actually to their own detriment. I think somebody like Jared Polis would do very well nationally.
- Serious liberals are decidedly lukewarm about Hillary at best.
- The younger value voters are with Cruz now. Judging by polling data, Huckabee and Santorum's paltry remaining supporters are collecting or nearly collecting social security. Having said that, you could hold a GOP Iowa Caucus right now with the people listed above and Huckabee would probably win.

It gets her to shut up about Obama's eight-year free ride for Wall Street. ONE banker went to jail on Eric Holder's watch.

Can anyone name the four people who voted for Warrren? I bet we all know who they are.
