Deletion of US Presidential election 2016

Comment: There is no reason that we should treat crystalballing about the U.S. presidential election any differently than crystalballing about the elections of other nations.  The image of the |crystal ball is a good analogy for this type of speculation-- a seer peering into their glass orb (in this case, one that's surrounded by a plastic frame and, like all computer monitors, hooked up to electronic hardware and the internet), and then making guesses that boil down to one thing-- whoever might run in 2012 might also run in 2016.  Add whoever you can think of to the list so far--  Mitt Romney might run, Scott Brown might run, Sarah Palin might run, Hillary Clinton might run, Stephen Brockerman might run, etc. etc.  By golly, I'm thinking of running

Comment: There are plenty of |reliable sources to show that speculation is rampant in the media and secondary sources already for 2012.  Perhaps, like , someone needs to write an essay explaning how  applies to political races.  You kids need some perspective.  2 years ahead is probably enough for most United States elections, but historically, presidential elections have been discussed in reputable sources far in advance - as much as 7 years into the future.  Lloyd Stark was leading for president in 1933 for the election of 1940.  Hillary Clinton's name was mentioned on TV in 1999 for president in 2004 or 2008
