WASHINGTON Authentic Marc-Andre Fleury Jersey , June 13 (Xinhua) -- While it may be a foregone conclusion that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be the Democrats' pick for the 2016 White House race, the Republican ticket remains wide open, experts said.


To prepare for her race, Clinton is kicking off an unofficial public relations campaign with the recent release of her new book, "Hard Choices," which was followed by a nationally televised interview on Sunday.


But Republicans have no such early starter Authentic James Neal Jersey , although most analysts and pundits at this early stage of the game point to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.


Appearing on the popular "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" Thursday night, the ever-bombastic and colorful governor performed a dance skit parody with the show's host. When asked whether he could hypothetically beat Clinton in a bid for the White House in 2016, Christie replied, "hypothetically, you bet."


Still, analysts said the Republican Party's field for the 2016 nomination is far from clear Tomas Tatar Jersey , especially after the recent surprise victory of a relatively unknown Tea Party candidate over House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in Virginia's Republican primary elections.


Ultimately, the question will be whether a more centrist Republican will win the nomination, or whether candidates such as Senators Ted Cruz or Rand Paul will be able to ride the Tea Party and the Libertarian wing of the party through the primaries, said Dan Mahaffee, an analyst with the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress.


Other experts said the Republicans will be seeking a candidate to whom ordinary Americans can relate, as Clinton Alex Tuch Jersey , a former First Lady, is often regarded to be hard to connect with ordinary Americans.


"What the Republicans are really looking for at the end of the day is a current or former governor who can say 'I'm not a bean counter for Wall Street. I'm a defender of Main Street,'" Republican strategist Ford O' Connell told Xinhua.


"You have to be able to bridge that white and blue collar divide," he said. "It will come down to who can pass what I call the 'beer litmus test' - which candidate would you rather have a beer with."


But analysts said the main question is who can count on a core set of supporters and raise enough funds to outlast the other candidates.


Christopher Galdieri, assistant professor at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire, said that any Republican who wants to be viable will have to do his or her best to stay away from specific policy commitments that might excite Republican primary voters -- on immigration reform Nate Schmidt Jersey , on abortion, on the minimum wage, and other issues -- but be unpopular among the general electorate.


This will be difficult, and more mainstream conservatives might find themselves pressured to veer right on any one of those issues by a candidate more concerned with ideological purity than electability, Galdieri told Xinhua.


Meanwhile, former Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney in 2012 on Thursday kicked off his annual retreat that links up big donors with 2016 White House contenders Jonathan Marchessault Jersey , with a list that includes Christie, Romney's 2012 running mate Representative Paul Ryan, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.


Florida Senator Marco Rubio, a rising star in the Republican Party, was invited but unable to attend, as was former Florida Governor Jeb Bush Brad Hunt Jersey , whose Mexican-American wife would give him weight among Hispanic voters.




SEOUL， Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- Former UN chief Ban Ki-moon said in a televised press conference Thursday that South Korea should achieve a grand unity， vowing to devote himself to uniting the country.


Ban arrived in his home country after ending his second， five-year term in the top UN post late last year.


He has been long viewed as the most powerful contender of the conservative bloc in the next presidential race as President Park Geun-hye was impeached a month earlier and her Saenuri Party saw a drop in public support.


Local media outlets have speculated that Ban actually unveiled his willingness to run for presidency though he has never officially declared his candidacy.


Ban said his country should end various internal divisions， including wealth inequality and conflicts in ideologies， regions and generations， stressing the grand unity must be achieved.


The former South Korean diplomat reiterated his pledge to devote himself to South Korea， saying that public wish disclosed in the square must be cherished.
