Re: "You are most likely correct. Having trotted out the old horses the Grand Old Party is likely to buy into a fresher face. Certainly having a following in places like Ohio or Pennsylvania could be seen as a boon." I don't know why... but in recent decades the national GOP has always been perceived as having a tendency to feel that the "next guy in line" is supposed to get party backing and his shot at the brass ring... a bit more hierarchical in their thinking then the other guys. On the other side it has always seemed easier for some new guy to ride in and get a shot.... But, regardless of all that, I (my gut tells me) don't think that the next Presidential cycle will play out exactly that way. Over on the GOP side there doesn't seem to be any prohibitive favorite for once, (or any established candidate without their own electoral 'warts'... same general effect). So, I expect the field to be very wide-open. (And the 'first primary', the fund raising, is underway already....)
