You do not have to post a comment unless you want. Remember uniformed service members are subject to scrutiny. Please keep this professional. Pretend you are voting democrate even if you are not.

This list could be longer but these are current front runners; feel free to add a comment about who is not on the list.

This thread is not meant to cause controversy, instead the goal is to get you to explore and do research.

I think the nomination belongs to Secretary Clinton if she wants it, and I think she does. My God, NOT Governor O'Malley!!!!! He'll do to the USA what he did to Maryland. Brutal.

I voted for Secretary Clinton.

I won't vote for Hillary. Won't vote for Bush either. This is a democracy, not a monarchy.

Hillary has to be one of the worst presidential candidates of all time (set aside Obama) which means in America today she stands a pretty good chance of winning.

She was a train wreck as Sec of State one need only look at the siutation in the middle east, our relationship with Russia, the disaster in Iraq with ISIS etc etc etc.

She was the first lady of a president that was a congenitial liar and was impeached by the House of Representatives but not removed by the Senate. She was "co-president" as she liked to claim early on. Questions on shady investments have dogged her for many years too.

Her time in the senate was to try to gain gravitas for a presidential run with little real accomplishment. She got smoked in the 2008 election by none other than an unknown senator from Illinois.

I voted for Webb. I am not a big fan of his but as a former US Marine officer I at least know he took an oath and will very likely uphold it to the best of his ability.

I just can't vote for any democrat of today. However I can't bring myself to vote for any republican that would get the nomination. I would like to share an interesting story having to do with Jim Webb. I was stationed at the Pentagon 87-90 as part of the SECNAV & CNO's secure communications team and when I first got there Jim Webb (a republican at that time) was the SECNAV. One afternoon Mr. Webb was having to problems with the KY-3 & STU II at his home so I & another ET were sent out to fix both. It was Nov 10th Mr. Webb and his first wife where getting dressed to attend the Marine Corps Ball. It seemed like there were 10 little Webbs running around messing with our equipment at one point I saw his son using the handset from the STU as a hammer. Mr. Webb came into the room to talk to us, being really nice BTW, when we heard the distinct sound of the safe door on the STU snap shut. Now we would need to call out a member of the team that had the combo for the outer lock which would take a couple of hours. Mr. Webb was nice enough to tell us to just come back the next day.

You put Biden in there. LMFAO. Even hard liberals think he's a joke. Exactly why Obama chose him, to ward off the recall or impeachment.

Though I mostly disagree, with Senator Webb at his core he is a good guy. I think I was ignoring him because of the media. But thinking back he has taken care of vets. He is a vet. Interesting you all changed my mind about the guys chances; now if the media would pay attention.

My preference would be Warren. She is one of the only ones in Congress who isn't yet bought and paid for and willing to stand up for the actual citizens of this country.
