Burnout will be a huge problem in the next 12 years. Moreso than any other administration I can think of…wars and a depression at the same time…and an massive overhaul of energy sources… Could make sense to innovate…

Mark Warner — why not? He has the same teevee perfect appearance Obama has, complete with nice smile. (Romney on the GOP side will have aged too much by then.)

People are fickle and have short memories, always looking for the next big thing. It would be a risky strategy to say the least.

Then in four years she hands the race back over to Barack who will then run with another mate, refreshed and rested for another term. So we would then have 12 consecutive years of a fresh democratic president and fresh VPs.<br><br>Sounds fresh to me! lol...

I think the GOP problems this year were the consequences of their multiple weaknesses and failures. If Biden's health is good and the team is working well, I'd rather not switch that horse in mid stream.

8 years will give a lot of strong Dems to get experience in State houses, Congress and the Cabinet. I doubt we will be lacking for good candidates.

Three years from now it may be something for Biden to consider.
