4B Daily News – Friday, January 3, 2014 Contrast for parties in 2016 presidential race WASHINGTON (AP) — For Democrats and Republicans, the early stages of the 2016 presidential contest are worlds apart. Many Democrats already view Hillary Rodham Clinton as a quasi-incumbent, someone who could take the reins from President Barack Obama. The former secretary of state has made no decisions about her political future but has done little to dampen enthusiasm about another presidential campaign, traveling the country making speeches and preparing to release another book. Republicans have no clear front-runner and expect a crowded primary field that could include fresh-faced candidates like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. For a party that typically backs established politicians, 2016 could be the most jumbled GOP White House campaign in a generation. As the Obama era nears its final midterm elections, the campaign to succeed him has already begun: Prospective candidates on both sides have been quietly courting donors, taking steps to build an organization and making scouting trips to early voting states like Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. The official starting line, however, is likely a year away. The coming year will be about building the foundations of a campaign, compiling a policy agenda and raising money for House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates who could become future allies. And each side faces its own intra-party divisions. Republicans are in the middle of a feud that pits establishment figures against tea party adherents. Democrats run the risk of souring on Obama's brand — polls have shown a decline in his popularity since his reelection — and face a brewing split between liberals and centrists. For Democrats, the presidential race hinges on whether Clinton runs again. The former New York senator and first lady to President Bill Clinton has dominated early polls among Democrats, with Vice President Joe Biden a distant second. There is no obvious challenger from the left, considering Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's vow to serve her full six-year term. Potential candidates like Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and former Gov. Brian Schweitzer of Montana have visited early voting states but remain largely unknown to most voters. Some liberals might encourage former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean to run again, but Clinton has the potential to unite the party. Clinton's movements will be closely watched this year. She avoided most political activity in 2013 but is expected to be a top draw at Democratic fundraisers. The spring release of her memoir about her State Department years will include a national book tour, allowing her to discuss themes that might precede a presidential campaign. Until she announces her decision, every word will be parsed for clues. ''It's maybe an unprecedented situation, with Hillary Rodham Clinton being as strong as an incumbent president running for re-election,'' said Democratic strategist Tad Devine. ''I really see her in a unique situation.'' If Clinton decides not to run, the Democratic primary could turn into a free-for-all. Biden could inherit many Obama and Clinton supporters, but a Clinton-free race would open the door to candidates like O'Malley, who has assembled a record admired by many liberals, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a fundraising powerhouse, and Warren, who would be pressured by progressives to run. Other potential candidates could include New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Virginia Sen. Mark Warner. Republicans face much different terrain. During the past half-century, the GOP has rarely nominated a candidate who has not previously run for president — the exceptions are Gerald Ford in 1976 and George W. Bush in 2000. That could change in 2016. ''More than any other time in my lifetime, things are wide open,'' said Republican strategist Ron Kaufman, who noted that Republicans are also weighing significant changes to their nominating calendar and debate schedule. Christie, the new chairman of the Republican Governors Association, boosted his national profile in November by easily winning a second term. Christie's team contends he wrote the playbook for GOP success in 2016 by appealing to strong percentages of women and minorities.

Jeb Bush, who left office in 2007, commands attention from donors and party leaders as the brother and son of presidents. His presidential ambitions are unclear, however, and this year could offer a better indication of his intentions. Bush's decision could weigh heavily on his protigi, Rubio, who tried but failed to get congressional Republicans to support sweeping immigration reforms. Few expect Rubio to challenge Bush in a presidential primary, but the Cuban-American senator is expected to travel the country in 2014 in support of House and Senate candidates. Paul has been among the most active Republicans exploring a presidential campaign, and he could inherit the loyal supporters of his father, libertarian hero and former Texas congressman Ron Paul. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, in office just a year, has built a strong following in conservative circles. Many Republicans are watching Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, who impressed as Mitt Romney's youthful running mate in 2012 and recently negotiated a budget deal with Democrats. Beyond Christie, a large group of Republican governors may join the field, including Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who both face reelection in 2014. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal may also run and has urged Republicans to develop a strong policy agenda as an alternative to Democrats. Veterans of past presidential campaigns like former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee could compete for social conservatives if they run again. Texas Gov. Rick Perry chose not to seek re-election, giving him ample time to prepare for another presidential race. Kaufman suggested Republicans could be helped by a contested primary, something that helped Democrats in 2008. ''Running for president is like nothing else you do in your life,'' he said. ''Mrs. Clinton has an advantage of having gone through the process — once for herself and twice with her husband. She doesn't need to go through the gantlet. All the folks on our side, they need the gantlet. We need a primary.'' RIVERFRONT DOWNTOWN, Beautiful home, 3 car garage/shop, dock on the waters edge.
