(24,854 posts)stands a helluva lot better chance of winning against the current Republican field. In fact, I'm not even sure how we could lose with our 2012 Democratic "firewall" intact unless people just really feel like voting for a Republican next year- or somebody extremely charismatic (and moderate) pulls out of the GOP primary. It could happen, of course (so can a lot of other things), but isn't bloody likely IMHO.
As for Hillary specifically, once the media gets bored with this latest "chew toy", people will likely forget about it. It's probably a good thing that this is all being talked about now since most people have yet to really start paying attention to the primaries. Also, outside of most circles, an e-mail "scandal" just doesn't seem nearly as exciting as her and Obama issuing "stand down" orders and leaving Ambassadors to die in Benghazi (if you believe all of those zany conspiracy theories). I don't know what circles you run in but I just don't hear about it from anybody I know.
