i think there is a very real possibility that we're moving to a GOP congress and DEM president as our general setup for at least half a generation

Pres - no Paul or Walker?
I like Haley for VP

1) GOP
2) 50/50 (If not, bias to GOP here)
3) DNC
Hillary Clinton
Elizabeth Warren
4)GOP
Jeb Bush
Rand Paul
Veep? Too much depends on who gets the noms, I can't really say.
Perry? We've all met Perry and he isn't very impressive. I don't think the hardest right Republicans can imagine this guy in the White House. People talk about the last name of Bush being unelectable, but how about the guy that is W with better hair? I doubt it.

GOP congress and DEM president
I'd prefer that to a DEM congress and GOP pres, if those were the only two choices.
IF the GOP congress would grow some gonads and stop kow-towing to liberal fantasies.
and this is supposing that a GOP pres would continue to be accommodating to DEMs.

Both parties suck. We need a real third party.

GOP will control the House and will end up losing the Senate by one seat.
Presidential List:
(1) Cory Booker
(2) Hillary
(1) Rick Perry
(2) Jeb Bush
VP:
(1) Cory Booker (If he is not the nominee, he will be on the ticket;
(2) Elizabeth Warren
(1) Scott Walker
(2) Susana Martinez
Whomever the Democrat nominees is will win the election (the electoral college is no longer the friend of the GOP - I think it is virtually impossible for the GOP to ever win the WH again as we are currently situated).

According to a USA Today Pew poll I read yesterday in Business Insider. The poll stated that the democrats are not only in trouble for 2014, but also are trending bad for 2016.
The republicans are in a position to do better than they did in “ Wave ” elections in 2010 and 1994. The drag on democrats is the economy, Obama and Obamacare.
By more than a 2 to 1 margin, the poll says that America wants a president with DIFFERENT POLICIES than president Obama, when GWB was in his last 2 years the very same Pew poll had America wanting a president with different policies by a wider than 2 to 1 margin also, and we know what happened in 2008.
Also, the truth is that it is very rare to have a “ 3 peat ” as president from one party, the lone exception in the last 60 years is Reagan - Bush, other than that the nation rarely stays with one party over 8 years.
Ike, JFK, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, GWB and Obama.
So, the real trend is for the nation to shift to another party after 8 years.

He's great until he opens his mouth. Then you quickly realize he's not the man for the job. And I'm from Texas. And I actually like him for what's he's done for TX.

Nikki Haley
Interesting choice - I could see her being a great VP choice as well.

Nikki Haley:
Yeah, I think one or the other (p or vp) must be from Florida - or at least be able to deliver it. Like in 2012, if the GOP loses Florida...it's kinda' over. This is why I think Rubio will keep his head down in the campaign and hope for the VP pick ... kind of like Ryan.
Haley might be a good counter to Hillary

Yeah, I think the GOP is moving toward being more of a regional party.
Having a D pres and R house and senate: I could live with that.

Yea, and my analysis above proves both of you to be misinformed on trends in general.

I don't care much who is president I just want a Congress that is fiscally competent.
I don't like one party controlling all 3 branches because they both abuse it.
Gridlock is a good thing
