much more beastly
Warren G. Harding was a successful VP candidate. Under Coolidge. I said failed VP candidate.
Check James Cox's running mate

One. Harding took the blame for the Great Depression, so likely, most people regretted not voting for Cox.
Chris Christie: One word: Bridgegate. His popularity is falling like a brick.
Marco Rubio: Won't even be nominated. The more ultra-conservative GOPs are sure to remember this:

Rubio is actually helping the Democrats far more than any actual Democrat in Florida.
Scott Walker. Scandals are plaguing him too, and stuff like this:

...are making him look like a fool.
Bobby Jindal: He opposes anti-discrimination laws: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/09/marco-rubio-gay-marriage_n_4569472.html

You must admit, he has no chance.
Rand Paul: One word: Plagiarism. (You people complain that Mr. Obama uses a teleprompter, but at least he doesn't copy other people's work.) Anyone with an MA knows that this act is an unforgivable crime in academia, and all Ms. Clinton has to do is mention it in her ads. Not to mention, Paul wants pilots to carry guns, and made a racist comment aimed at Mr. Obama shown here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/19/rand-paul-nsa_n_4994953.html
Paul Ryan: Have you even read Ryan's budget plan? Not only did both he and the rest of the GOP know it would never be voted on by the Senate - let alone signed by the President - but it simply would not have worked. There were no provisions in the plan at all to pay for any of the initiatives. Ryan is hailed by the GOP as a "financial genius", and yet, he has done nothing to show it.
I notice you didn't mention Janet Brewer, another name that is often brought up, but I'll mention her anyway. the fact that she even considered signing that legalized discrimination bill makes her reviled in even her own state. She's out too.
I've given my reasons.
What baggage does Ms. Clinton have? All I've heard from the GOP is her age and Benghazi, a phony scandal which is embarrassing the Republicans more than ever now.
The problem is, YFU, I'm starting to wonder if Ryan was any better a choice for the position than Sarah Palin was. You saw his budget plan. It was wishful thinking. Not only would it never happen, the GOP would be in a crisis if it actually was passed, because they could NOT have made it happen. Ryan just doesn't know how to do his job.
It's entirely possible that Bridgeghazi could derail his governorship and keep him from running altogether. If things get worse for Christie, it's entirely possible the legislature impeaches him or he ends up being recalled. This is all hypothetical, of course, but to say this scandal hasn't significantly hurt Christie's chances in 2016 is simply naive.Do you honestly think people will care about it in 2016? Especially if it is used in the primary season and becomes a non topic by the time the election rolls around?

Kind of like Obama being connected to a terrorist and a rabid preacher? Yeah no way that guy could be elected.
Edit: Also glad no one is choosing Wendy Davis to win the Texas Governorship, her campaign is collapsing.

Okay, first you say:
But then you say:
...contradicting your own words about how long an opposing party can care about something. In the same post.
Why? Because of the claims she was an unfit mother, which her children are publically debunking? Her detractors are trying to twist her words. When a woman is "separated" from her husband, she's far closer to "divorced" than she is to "happily married". You're just using the "exact words" argument again.
Meanwhile, her opponent is using Ted Nugent, of all people to promote him, and refuses to condemn his clearly racist comment against the President.
To answer your question, yes, I think it will matter to people. You know why?
During the campaign, every time someone is stuck in a traffic jam, already upset because he's late, and hears a campaign commercial on his car radio, I do believe it will come to mind.
Have you looked at any poll in this race? Or Wendy Davis's approval? Davis is toast.Why? Because of the claims she was an unfit mother, which her children are publically debunking?

I don't expect her to win. The sky will fall before she does.
The Texas House broke the rules to stop her filibuster and altered the clock to pass the bill, meaning they did so illegally. Only "tradition" made it valid and prevented a criminal charge against those responsible.
Sadly, however, her opponent is as bad as the current one, and her detractors are exaggerating the situation, telling blatant lies about an honest woman who actually wants what's best for people.
Very interesting. Davis is breaking a promise regarding her law career?
Chief Justice Roberts is doing the same thing.

"Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He won't tell you. I just did."
A politician nobody knew about before a year ago and only had five statements judged has a better record on politifact than a governor who served for over a decade and even mounted a presidential campaign? Amazing!Lutz, let me tell you something, searching for an honest politician could well be a lifelong quest that you'll never complete. Going to criticize Davis for lying? Right. I can fill a book with Governor Perry's lies.
In fact:

Here's Davis' entire profile on Politifact:

Not one Pants On Fire yet. Not even one marked False
