The one that looks most promising to me is O'Malley. So far, I know nothing bad about him and his work in Maryland was pretty good in terms of the issues. I don't think we should consider Hillary a fait accompli. She has not even addressed the issues (she didn't do that last time either) and the Clinton record for caring about working class issues is questionable. She talks it right now but what programs are she committing to and could we trust her if she did? There are several possibilities besides O'Malley but he sounds the most progressive and likely of them. I hope Democrats don't put all their eggs in Hillary's basket and their foundation might yet have some nasty surprises that could throw the whole thing to the right in '16.
