That is, who will they be supporting as of Jan. 1, 2016 (if we go later than that, the field might be winnowed down too much)?:

Cathcon
Duke
Inks
jmfcst
krazen
Muon
Naso (bonus points for predicting all of his family members' endorsements)
Oldiesfreak
Sam Spade
Simfan
Torie
Vosem
Winfield

(Not including Keystone Phil here, since his loyalties are rather obvious.)

Assume whatever field of candidates you think is realistic.  If you haven't been following 2016 and don't want to speculate on your own who will run, then assume the default field of Christie, Jindal, Rand Paul, Rubio, Santorum, Walker, probably McDonnell, maybe Perry, Ben Carson, and Morry Taylor.  I don't think Jeb Bush or Paul Ryan will run.

* Bonus question: Which candidate of either party will BushOK support on Jan. 1, 2016, and will he ultimately vote for them, in either the primary or general election?

**Bonus question 2: Will forum Dems "ironically support" any of the GOP field, a la the support for Cain in 2012?  And who will receive such support?

I'll make some guesses on some of them:

Duke: Christie
Inks: Christie
jmfcst: Walker if he's doing well enough to be competitive.  Otherwise, Rubio.
Muon: Christie, but he probably won't publicly endorse
Naso: Will oscillate between several candidates.  Ends up with either Christie or Rubio.  Rubio gives him more red meat, so probably Rubio.
Sam Spade: Walker might be his first choice, but if not competitive he'll probably end up with either Christie or Rubio.  Might invent some convoluted racial reason to not vote for Rubio.
Simfan: Christie
Torie: Christie
Winfield: Jindal  (Keep in mind, Winfield hates Christie because of Hurricane Sandy, and how Christie supposedly threw the election to Obama.)

Angus and Politico would also be interesting.  Didn't Angus back Ron Paul in the 2012 caucus?

Let me clear up some things:
1. I don't care much about 2016 at this point.  We just came off of 2012, so I'm more concerned about the midterms in 2014 at this time.
2. We don't even know yet who's running!
