Clinton / Kerry - the thought hadn't even occurred to me

but it makes 100% perfect sense. Good call, amigo.

The only entertaining aspect of the Democratic primary will be watching Joe Biden be Joe Biden, while honestly thinking he has a shot at the nomination. His awkwardness and inflated sense of self-importance is always interesting to watch. But other than that it will be a rather boring, predetermined cakewalk, and will constitute (an ironic choice of words) a formidable foe for Republicans to defeat.

Republicans would need a dynamic ticket along the lines of a Chris Christie type in order to have a chance to compete. They will need someone who is not afraid of the Clinton mystique, or any mystique for that matter, and someone who ordinary Americans can relate to on a visceral level more easily than off-putting elites like McCain and Romney. Perhaps Jeb is relatable enough on a personal level for most voters, but the thought of another Bush presidency still makes me instantly physically ill. I assume that sentiment is fairly widespread and I doubt he could overcome it in a general election.

Thank you and good day.
