…that’s kind of riffing off of this post here: if you really want to have a good idea of how 2016 is going to go on the Democratic side, keep a sharp lookout next year and in 2014 for how the primary rules are going to be changed. The Obama campaign found every exploit in the world during the 2008 primaries; it will be instructive to see if they keep plugging the holes.
I suspect that they will; I’m coming to the conclusion that the Democratic Establishment will really and truly think that it’s going to be a good idea to run Joe Biden, and to do that he’s going to need a full-forced shutdown of any primary quirk that doesn’t favor incumbents.

PS: I know, I know: lots of people think that it’s going to be a while before we see another Anglo male win the nomination for President. While I suspect that this may be true on the Republican side, I am not exactly convinced that it is on the Democratic one. Guess we’ll see…
If Republicans run a candidate who isn’t a white male, I suspect the Democrats will find all sorts of reasons why a minority shouldn’t be in the White House. A “Return of the Nativists” if you will.

Even the dem establishment isn’t dumb enough to run Biden. Crazy old uncle as VP is one thing, president is another. I think fauxcahantos is more likely
It’ll be one of Cuomo, O’Malley, with Booker as the dark horse.
“Katrina” (erm, “Sandy”) Cuomo, jbird?

(other than the hoarfrost, the scenes from both are near interchangeable…)
I agree with you, but Sandy hasn’t gotten the coverage that Katrina has. It is no where close, and nobody on the national scene is blaming any of our lords and ladies.
Newsbusters has an interesting article up about recipients of volunteer aid being angry with volunteers.
