As for the republicans not having anyone. I would never count them out. Chris Christie could run and I think he has the potential to be a strong candidate. Rubio could run in an effort to rebrand the party as young and inclusive. I don't know that Rubio can win, but he could be a challenge to defeat.

Never underestimate the ability of a political party to either rebrand itself or repackage all the crap they have spewed over the years and use it to get people to vote for them. The republicans are actively making it harder for democrats to win some states like Virginia so I would never count them as out.
