I would rather see Herman Cain, Rand Paul or even Tim Kaine or maybe even Marco Rubio. Hillary has a chance but only if the next 2 yrs plays out bad for the Republican majority. Time will tell.
I kid you not, a lot may change in the next two years, but as of today, Jeb Bush is the front-runner for 2016 GOP presidential candidacy.
Snip:
He takes nearly one-quarter — 23% — of Republicans surveyed in the new nationwide poll, putting him 10 points ahead of his closest competitor, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who tallied 13%.
Physician Ben Carson comes in third, with 7% support, and Sen. Rand Paul and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee are both tied for fourth with 6%.

Bush got an A on the NRA's report card some time back for passing their Stand Your Ground-backed laws during his tenure as Florida Governor. But, he ruffled their feathers later when he supported instant background checks at gun shows.
Christie got a C on the NRA's report card after he ruffled their feathers by failing to advocate for allowing other states' CCW permits to be recognized in New Jersey.
Paul gets an A rating from the NRA consistently.
I couldn't find a score for Carson or Huckabee, but you can read about their stances on gun-related issues here: http://www.ontheissues.org/Gun_Control.htm
