The First Handicapping of 2016 Race

Proving it's never too early to start, Chris Cillizza at Wash Post is out with his first look ahead to the next race, when both parties will hire fresh candidates.  The whole thing is here but in summary:  On GOP side,  Rubio won't run if Jeb Bush does; Ryan is an automatic and probably Rand Paul, too.  Bobby Jindal will finally make his move.  Is Chris Christie too damanged?   For the Dems:  Biden dropped a hint he may be in, even at age 73 (still a babe magnet).  If Hillary doesn't go, another woman will, most likely Gillibrand (most ambition) or maybe Klobuchar (a vote-getting machine) or left hero Warren.  Andrew Cuomo could emerge as frontrunner if Joe and Hillary out.

Note:  The first e-book on Obama-Romney race has just been published--and it's mine!  "Tricks, Lies, and Videotape" covers the contest right up to Election Night, and includes over 500 clickable links to the most important articles, blog posts and videos.  Just $2.99.  Enjoy.
