Kirsten Gillibrand seems to be the only one who has an appealing personality and good policies for democrats.

Beau Biden -- First, let him win his senate election. 
Kirsten Gillibrand -- Could be
Creigh Deeds -- Only if he wins (unlikely at this point)
Michael Bennet -- Only if he survives his elections.
Anthony Weiner -- ?
Martha Coakley -- Maybe (?)
Patrick Murphy -- Only if Casey vacates his seat, and he wins the election.  Then, maybe.
Joe Sestak -- Maybe
Martin O’Malley -- LOL
Chet Culver -- Probably not
Lisa Madigan -- If she is interested in the governor's race, maybe.
Alexi Giannoulias -- I hope not
Robin Carnahan -- I hope not
Gavin Newsom -- he is a long shot in the gov race.  If he wins, still probably not.
Andrew Cuomo -- If he runs for governor, and wins, and has a successful 2 terms. I would say he is the most likely out of this group to run for the presidency (of course, under certain circumstances).
Tom Udall -- Nah
Michelle Obama -- LOL

[President Mitt]

A President Gavin Newsome actually seems like something I actually would support.....

[Psychic Octopus]

Beau Biden -- Yes
Kirsten Gillibrand -- Good chance at winning
Creigh Deeds -- Nah, he'll lose
Michael Bennet -- If he survives his elections
Anthony Weiner -- ?
Martha Coakley -- No
Patrick Murphy -- ROFL
Joe Sestak -- Yes, in 2016
Martin O’Malley -- No
Chet Culver -- Probably not
Lisa Madigan -- Nah, corrupt Illinois will take her down.
Alexi Giannoulias -- Who?
Robin Carnahan -- I hope not
Gavin Newsom -- he is a long shot in the gov race.  If he wins, still probably not.
Andrew Cuomo -- If he runs for governor, and wins, and has a successful 2 terms. I would say he is the most likely out of this group to run for the presidency (of course, under certain circumstances).
Tom Udall -- Nah
Michelle Obama -- LOL

Outside of Deeds, Sestak, Coakley, all of them are young enough to eventually become a nominee or VP-nominee.  Deeds, Sestak, and Coakley all probably have to win their next election and quickly take the national stage and then run in 2016.  Udall probably has already run out of time to make enough of a mark to become a nominee.  Obama is obviously a wild card but she definitely seems capable of pulling a Hillary down the road.

I LIVE IN IOWA! CHET DOESN'T HAVE A CHANCE!
don't get me wrong, i've met him. he has a very nice personality, sorta like the overwieght uncle everyone likes.
but he's like Harken. he wins Iowa, which everyone expects. if he loses, it's all over. all emphasis is on New Hampshire. which Chet won't win.
Cuomo's fine, though

[Alexander Hamilton]

Voted Cuomo and only Cuomo.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

CREIGH DEEDS!

Michelle Obama could become the black version of Hillary Clinton in years to come.  In fact, she might even go farther than HRC did. 

You heard it here first, folks.... 

[tarheel-leftist85]

Kirsten Gillibrand or WRITE-IN:  Sherrod Brown

Let's hope Democrats actually nominate someone who stands for economic justice.  It might be too late, though.  Dems are just multicultural corporatists--they do the same things but just do them nicer and more open-mindedly.

[ShadowRocket]

Biden, Sestak, and Cuomo seem likely. I also have a hunch that unless Hillary is the nominee in 2016, that Gillibrand will be the Dem candidate for VP that year.
