How about Anduin Wrynn as the new Warchief? That would be sweet. Anduin marrying Sylvanas leading the Horde against his father leading the alliance.

I would vote for Gamon or Rexxar.

Thrall for orc leader, fine, but not war-chef, after 8 years, why wont the orcs let someone else take over, isn't that normal in politics?
No, the Warchief position is for life; the only group that votes for a new leader are the Gnomes.

That is disgusting.

I truly hope that Vol'jin is made Warchief. There is the possibility that Garrosh being the Warchief was just a morality play on Thrall's part showing that just because he's an Orc does not mean he is qualified to lead the Horde thus leading to the first non-Orc Warchief.
Or I could be looking a little to hard at the whole thing...

Heh you are; Metzen already said Thrall is coming back and the Horde is getting their Warchief back. Even with the 'failure' of Garrosh, you'd still find a lot of Orcs hard pressed to willingly follow a non-Orc as their overall leader.

I'm all for Vol'jin. and like OP said, I'd LOVE for him to be the one who fires the arrow that pierces his black heart. Haha.
Vote Vol'jin, 2012,
EDIT: To anyone saying that the Orcs wouldn't follow a non-orc, that remains to be seen. Orcs respect Honor and Strength and if Vol'jin is the one to lead the retaking of Orgrimmar from Garrosh, they will have much pride and respect for him.

Gamon for warchief.
This....just so we will FINALLY quit picking on the poor guy!
But, seriously, I have to go with Thrall. For me, he is, and always will be, THE leader of the Horde. I really just feel that to put anyone else in there would just be wrong.
But, then again, I am one of those "Rose colored glasses wearing, Vanilla vets whose opinions don't mean anything", so for all I know, Kanye West could be the new Warchief, and we would just be expected to grin and bear it.

You diss my Anduin Wrynn idea? Imagine the awesome plotline!
Anduin gets more and more frustrated with his war-mongering father, and the massive corruption that lies beneath the polished surface of the Alliance. Power-hungry humans, murderous Worgen, crazed Night Elves that just waits for an opportunity to blow up the world again, greedy and infighting dwarves and depraved gnomes.
When walking outside alone in the forest he meets a gorgeous high-elf girl - Sylvanas, who seduces him and they fall madly in love. He gets fascinated by the plight of the forsaken, the strength of the Orcs, and the goodness of the Tauren, and almost instantly switches sides.
The entire Horde begins to love him because of his wonderful effect on Sylvanas. No longer depressed, vengeful and power hungry, now a infatuated happy woman. But Undercity is no place for a young human, but the Orcs need a new leader, and the boy is liked, smart and knows the enemy. Hence Anduin gets placed on the warchiefs throne, and married to Sylvanas the entire Horde knits more closely together.
If Blizz reads this, they will surely hire me as their new chief of Lore/plotline-development.

I need to add another name to the pool:
Zaela
.
She's awesome, against demon blood drinkers (which is a fresh breeze of air after a hellscream), she does not tolerate dishonor and treason (even within her tribe), and the orcs can gain a lot by having a woman as warchief.
Also, Thrall can't be warchief what with Aggra being pregnant.

What, worried he'll get Wife Aggro? *bada-tisch*
There was a better joke in there somewhere, wasn't there? There has to be...

A woman as the warchief of the horde ?
I don't think it's ever going to happen lol.
I actually hope it's not Thrall. He's important to the Horde and he's really special, but for me I would find it kinda boring to get the same warchief again. Plus he got married with Aggra and such, I doubt he have that much time anymore.
Warchief of the horde is a full-time job. Don't have time for a woman !

Again, disgusting....because Anduin is alive and Sylvanas is a dead corpse....who also, by being the one who gave the go ahead on the Blight, killed Anduin's fill-in father figure Bolvar. And one more thing!: The orcs of the Horde will not follow a Non-Orc.

The orcs of the Horde will not follow a Non-Orc.
What about a half Orc? Just curious.

Considering how they treated the Mok'Nathal clan, probably not.

the Warchief must be someone who has orc blood in veins
don't you think Thrall wouldn't choose Vol'Jin if he could?
so Vol'Jin, Baine, Sylvanas and Lor'Themar are not compatible for this spot
we still have Saurfang, who has most chances after Thrall, Drek'Thar (is busy in Alterac), Nazgrel (is busy in Outland) and my favourite choice: Rexxar

my favourite choice: RexxarHalf-orc, so no go.

Why can't the Warchief of the Horde be another race than orc? Orcs are part of an union with other races that are as much a part of the Horde as the orcs themselves, so I don't see why the Horde leader can't be a non-orc.
I'm really hoping for Vol'Jin as the next Warcheif, he is such a cool character.
I'm also hoping he is the one who kills Garrosh in the end, just because he said he would :)

Because as long as the position of Warchief is tied to the leadership of the Orcs as well, which is a race who will not accept a non-Orc as their leader, there will not be a non-Orc Warchief of the Horde.
Saw that very clearly in the Shattering novel, when Thrall was trying to figure out the replacement choice: He named Cairne, but had to disregard that choice, since he knew the Orcs wouldn't have followed the Old Bull.
