The new Warchief of the Horde

Now that it is official that Garrosh is going to be the last boss of MoP, the Horde is at some point going to be needing a new Warchief. We do not know the when, but we do know it will happen. So who will it be?
Let us look at some candidates:
Thrall
Previous Warchief, took a vacation to the Maelstrom for some R&R (the Ocean is lovely there.)
As an Orc, the obvious candidate for the Orc race and Tauren swore allegiance to him
Has experience in both War and Diplomacy, favouring the latter when possible
Friends with Jaina, making negotiations with Humans more practical
Has recently been wed with one on the way
Must be tired after his not so relaxing break of saving the world
Honorary Dragon Aspect of Earth
Baine
Son of Cairne, who was a great Tuaren leader and whom Thrall called brother
Still has his youth, allowing him to be more open minded but also has less experience
As a Tauren, a bit closer to Night Elfs (and Forsaken for that matter) and could negotiate with them a bit better
Vol'jin
Has shown great wisdom and been one of Thrall's most trusted advisors, was even present for the reclaiming of the Undercity
Has already showed great diplomacy by contacting the Alliance over the Zandalari uprising in patch 4.1
Is a Troll
Led the retaking of the Echo Isles (note that the Gnomes still do not have Gnomergone. Possibility that he could give em some tips?)
Sylvanas
Former Ranger General of the High Elves, has immense experience in leadership and strategy
Resides far from the Horde capital
Has proven time and time again to be devoted to the Horde, despite criticism
Still blamed for the Wrathgate incident by some in the Alliance (and Horde)
Led the attack against the Worgen, making diplomacy most likely more problematic coming from her
As a Forsaken is less trusted by other members of the Horde
Lorthemar
Blood Elf leader who has fallen out of the WoW story line for all intents and purposes
Still has not fixed his city after it was destroyed by Arthas over a decade ago
Viewed as a newcomer, Sylvanas fought for Blood Elves to even be added into the Horde
Didn't see him helping retake the Undercity even tho he has a portal to it 10 feet behind him
Gallywix
I'm sure he will give it his best shot to get the title of Warchief without success
Overall, I think that it will be Thrall again, even tho he has expressed the desire to take a break and have a family.
Altho I would personally like to see Vol'jin live up to his threat and be the one to kill Garrosh himself, then take over being Warchief.
It could be someone totally new, or even a side character (Rexxar?)
So what do you think?

Baine is my favorite, I also like Vol'jin as warchief.
Thrall - give him piece like Mediv or Grom
Sylvanas - She free bird, noone can control her and thats why we love her. As a warchief....not her
Lorthemar - hmm not...dont know why!
Gallywix - troll lol :D
Edit: Rexxar- forget all just make him Warchief.

I vote Saurfang.
saurfang cant be the horde warchief, he's too busy being the boss of blizzard activision from behind the scenes.
taking care of northerend is just his cover.

My vote (which counts for nothing) would be for Baine, mainly because I favor the Tauren.
Although, if they do name a successor to Garrosh, it will probably be Vol'jin, that seems to make the most sense to me, lore-wise.

Well if Thrall has any say for who the next warchief might be, I would have to say he would want it to be an Orc. Just like how when he first left he wanted an Orc to run the Horde. Now I forget where this was talked about, but I think it was in The Shattering while talking with Cairne or Vol'jin.

If Thrall won't assume his throne again, then I vote Vol'jin.

It's gonna be Thrall. And just like when Garrosh was made the Warchief...it's gonna be another Orc, because the Orcish race won't follow any of the others.

It was. But it was also the Shattering that put Baine in a "spotlight". Opening up new relations with the Alliance through Jaina and Anduin.
Since MoP will "revolve" around the Horde/Alliance conflict, i'm guessing they'll put Baine up afterwards, to ease the tentions. Especially when Anduin will eventually be ruler of the Alliance.
Of course, i'm just guessing.

list of candidates is invalid.
Only orcs are fit to lead orcs, this has always been so, and always will be so. The horde is orcs+extras.
As such, only an orc can be the new Warchief. Given that he did a terrific job (barring some minor screw ups) before, Thrall is the one who has to step up to the throne again.

Maybe it's time for a republic? The title may become obsolete with MoP reputedly being all about peace in the world and such.

Garrosh as a raidboss is so awesome (i foresaw this loooong ago about him being a raidboss...i predicted it would be in Cata though), but Garrosh is also a awesome warchief, so im kinda torn.
Im hoping for Drek Thar.

Im hoping for Drek Thar.Since Drek lost his marbles in the Nightmare War and the Shattering....probably not.

he's lucid enough on Cataclysm to refuse aiding the forsaken.
The real complication with him is that he's too old to be leading an entire faction.
/sighs
if only Draenosh was alive =( he would had made a FANTASTIC warchief.

That's why he had to die apparently.

We named him Draenosh it means in orcish.
xD
Nah, in all seriousness it means "heart of draenor" in orcish.

They'll throw Thrall back in as Warchief. Metzen won't settle for anything less.

Neither will most of the Player base.
