I agree.
Depending on how their careers go over the next few years, I think that Lisa Madigan (IL) and Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) are two very likely candidates for president or vice president in 2016. They'll be at the ideal ages (50) and, if they can get elected governor and senator, respectively, they'll have been elected by large electorates.
I also think that in 2016, there will be enormous pressure to name a woman to the Democratic ticket, given Hillary's near-miss this year and Sarah Palin's VP candidacy. So a woman will likely either lead the Democratic ticket or be the running mate.
