If we don't start paying attention to off year elections, such as 2014, it won't matter who

our nominee is in 2016, we will get largely the policies we are getting now. I have no idea who I am going to vote for in the 2016 primaries in large part due to the fact I have no idea who is going to run in them. But the fact is one only has to look at pre 2011 Obama and post 2011 Obama to see that a Warren or a Sanders, or a Brown or a fill in the blank with a GOP House will not be any better than and most assuredly worse than pre 2011 Obama was. It matters who runs Congress and we need to stop worrying about Hillary and Elizabeth, and Joe, and Martin and who ever else might run in 2016 and start worrying about Kay, Mary, Mark, Alison, and the others running in 2014
