As many people know, the presidential election coming in 2016 has already brought out rumors of who will run. Many people believe Hillary Clinton will run again. She ran against president Obama in 2008 and lost. Around campus there are groups that support her and want her to run. The reason why the key word is rumors is because Clinton has not said she will officially run. If Hillary ran in 2016 she would have a good chance of winning. About 82% of democrats want her to run and 52% of independent voters want her to run for 2016. The election will be a mystery for all of America because Obama cannot run again and no matter what there will be a new president for 2017.
The presidential election will show as does almost any other election how people will vote as to the red or the blue and by these results one can look at why. What would be the main views that differ from each candidate that would make a person vote from one person to the other. Looking at a comparison from Romney and Obama views, Obama wanted the troops out of Iraq while Romney wanted the troops to stay in Iraq. Ironically enough, Obama promised to take them out in 2009, 2012, and 2013. Some say he wants them stay there, but is telling the people what they want to hear until his term is over. This is just one of the main differences in views told to the public. The one big similarity from the same website was "Obamacare" verses "Romneycare". They are the same type of healthcare act yet these two are on two different sides of the chart. Even though Obama and Romney have very similar views, Obama still won the 2012 election. This is very well a sign that people are too worried which part the candidates are affiliated to whether than who truly is the better candidate.

I greed with some of the point that you make, and the big chance of Hillary winning the presidential candidate of the democratic party. But what we know is that the American people are already tired of the lie that Obama, promised about reducing wars, which is the opposite of what we seeing now. My point is most American people want to see change, that will come from different party beside the democratic, and for this reason I don't think Hillary will have the chance to win, because if she decided to run, she will continue supporting the Obama Care, and this will be the end of her for the fact that the majority of Americans don't support the Obama Care.
I agree that Hillary will run for President in 2016. I don't think she will win because of her close affiliation with Obamacare which I think is going to cost numerous Democratic positions in the House and Senate. The role out of Obamacare itself, has been basically a disaster. We spent $650 million to build a website that didn't work at all. The number of people that have lost the coverage they had before Obamacare and the cost to those that have not lost their coverage has turned people against the bill and the number of delays has also called into question the ability of the federal government to implement the bill.
I have a strong feeling that Rand Paul and Ted Cruz will run for the Republican nomination and it remains to be seen which one will capture the imaginations of the people enough to get them elected. After Rand Pauls standing ovation at Berkley a few days ago I think he is a very strong contender.
