House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told NBC News she wants Hillary Clinton to make another bid for the White House in 2016.

Said Pelosi: “Wouldn’t that be exciting? I hope she goes. Why wouldn’t she? She would be president of the United States, and she would be great. And if she decided to run, and I think she would win, she would go into the White House as well prepared or better prepared than almost anybody who has served in that office in a very long time.”

“The analytics campaign, led by chief analytics officer Dan Wagner, was able to assign voters individual scores based on if and how they would vote. In doing this, Wagner’s team could accurately predict human behavior.”

Sasha Issenberg: “But underneath all that were scores describing particular voters: a new political currency that predicted the behavior of individual humans. The campaign didn’t just know who you were; it knew exactly how it could turn you into the type of person it wanted you to be.”

Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) “is mulling a congressional comeback, with sources saying he might join the special election contest for Rep. Tim Scott’s (R-SC) soon-to-be-vacant House seat,” Roll Call reports.

Also considering a bid: Jenny Sanford — his ex-wife — who lives in the 1st District.

Said Jenny Sanford: “I have already had calls from people offering to help should I choose to run, and I will speak with my family about that possibility over the holidays.”

Newark Mayor Cory Booker (D) “is leaning against jumping into next year’s race for New Jersey governor and instead is having serious discussions about running for the U.S. Senate in 2014, according to three people familiar with the matter,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

However, Booker “has been talking about the governor’s race with strategists both steeped in New Jersey politics and independent from it, and he could change his mind at the last minute and still run for the state’s powerful executive position next year, the people said.”

Politicker notes Booker is still keeping his online options open.

Michael Dukakis declined to completely rule out a temporary appointment to the U.S. Senate, though he called it unlikely because of a teaching obligation, the Boston Globe reports.

Said Dukakis: “It’s highly unlikely in any event. I’m committed to teaching.”

When Dukakis was reminded that his denial of interest was not an absolute no, he said, “That’s what I have to say.”

“I will quote loosely Vice President Biden: ‘This is a…uh…big deal.'”
