Axelrod Predicts Hillary Clinton as Democratic Nominee in 2016

Of course, folks said the same thing back before 2008

David Axelrod predicted on Friday that Hillary Clinton will be the Democrats' nominee for president in 2016, but he left open the door for a Joe Biden run.

"I think that Hillary Clinton probably will be the candidate. If she doesn't run, I think Biden will run," the former White House and campaign adviser said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

The comment came during a conversation about national security issues that would be brought to the 2016 forefront by a potential presidential bid by Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.).
