For those who remember that Mrs. Aristus (R-WA) voted for Barack Obama in 2012:
I have no doubt in my mind that she will vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
It's not something we've discussed, not the least of which reasons is, it's too early to really be discussing candidates with someone who hates politics as much as my wife does.
I've been very slowly winning her over. She only very grudgingly voted for McCain in 2008. She despised Sarah Palin so much that she was -----> <----- this close to voting against the Republican ticket. Her pen actually hovered over the Obama-Biden box for a minute (I watched her fill out her ballot), and I think the main reason she voted -R- was not just her history and force of habit, but because Joe Biden is Catholic.
And of course, the greatest victory of all in 2012: she voted for Barack Obama over Mitt Rmoney! 
She hates to admit it, but she admires Bill Clinton for his intellect and ability to speak cogently about complex issues. And she knows Hillary is immensely qualified for the office. And she rolls her eyes at the endless parade of feckless clowns piling into the Republican campaign car. So 2016 will be another small victory (Washington State will carry the Democratic candidate easily...) but every victory brings us closer to a Blue Nation.
