You're whistleing past the graveyard my friend. Benghazi is a long way's from over and the IRS thing is just getting ramped up. Obama is now an early 2nd term lame duck and Hillary? Hillary better hope she has covered her tracks better than her husband covered that stain. Her hands are not clean.
There is no such thing as a second term lame duck. That is point of winning a second term. You don't have to run again. You don't seem to notice that the GOP continues to bite themselves in the ass on the state level trying to push their social agenda. Hillary will be your next President, unless Christie runs and tells the wingers to take a leap, which he will most likely do.
Its a small bump in the road Cap.Obamas approval rating will drop a little bit but they will never get as low as Bush,Reagan or Nixon.His numbers will recover ,the media will fall back in love with him and its business as usual Hilary will be fine http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2013/05/voters-trust-clinton-over-gop-on-benghazi.html Voters trust Clinton over GOP on Benghazi May 13, 2013 PPP's newest national poll finds that Republicans aren't getting much traction with their focus on Benghazi over the last week. Voters trust Hillary Clinton over Congressional Republicans on the issue of Benghazi by a 49/39 margin and Clinton's +8 net favorability rating at 52/44 is identical to what it was on our last national poll in late March. Meanwhile Congressional Republicans remain very unpopular with a 36/57 favorability rating. Voters think Congress should be more focused on other major issues right now rather than Benghazi. By a 56/38 margin they say passing a comprehensive immigration reform bill is more important than continuing to focus on Benghazi, and by a 52/43 spread they think passing a bill requiring background checks for all gun sales should be a higher priority. While voters overall may think Congress' focus should be elsewhere there's no doubt about how mad Republicans are about Benghazi. 41% say they consider this to be the biggest political scandal in American history to only 43% who disagree with that sentiment. Only 10% of Democrats and 20% of independents share that feeling. Republicans think by a 74/19 margin than Benghazi is a worse political scandal than Watergate, by a 74/12 margin that it's worse than Teapot Dome, and by a 70/20 margin that it's worse than Iran Contra. One interesting thing about the voters who think Benghazi is the biggest political scandal in American history is that 39% of them don't actually know where it is. 10% think it's in Egypt, 9% in Iran, 6% in Cuba, 5% in Syria, 4% in Iraq, and 1% each in North Korea and Liberia with 4% not willing to venture a guess. At any rate what we're finding about last week's Benghazi focus so far is that Republicans couldn't be much madder about it, voters overall think Congress should be focused on other key issues, and Hillary Clinton's poll numbers aren't declining on account of it.
Hillary beats Christie easily imo.She will beat him in all of the swing states Obama beat Romney in ,Arkansas,Louisiana,NC,maybe Kentucky and even Texas will be in play.She will even beat him in Jersey imo
It depends. Christie I think is angling towards the Arnold path. He is going to be a new generation pub. One that is comfortable on SNL. If this lap band thingy goes well, he will seem human. He will not look like an average one percenter. Then he will ditch the ET version of the GOP and embrace the fiscals. People like Tsing will follow him on both sides of the aisle, and it will be a squeaker. It might come down to one or two states which might come down to one or two counties. Christie could take a state like Ohio. But if he even BEGINS to deploy the Southern Strategy, he will be buried, and quickly. The public just does not like the PT's and Lucrum's of America. They represent a mindset that America is trying hard to put behind her.
Spike and AK, watch Julian Castro, mayor of San Antonio. Hillary can come off as churlish at times. She needs to take a page out of Bill's playbook and chill out a bit. She needs to dress in bright colors and not seem the ball busting bitch. If she can be an elder stateswoman and be feminine, she has it in the bag. Still a lot of sexism out there tho.
Do you think the Iron Lady will play in America? I know it did in Britain, but it played for the wrong side.
