Is there another viable female presidential candidate for 2016?

Besides Hillary Clinton, who do we have?

Is there an up and coming candidate that we could groom for such a race?

does run I'd love to see Wasserman-Schultz in the running. Lots of gravitas in the debates would make Hillary look great too.

She has no Federal experience but is AG of California. From what I have seen, does well as a candidate.

She consistently comes across as being honest, and she is probably very disliked by the firm Chelsea Clinton works for.

a possible candidate. I have no idea why she isn't appreciated more-she has a solid legislative background, she's 62, from Michigan-whats not to like? But apparently it isn't meant to be.
