It is just a tad ridiculous to be talking like that. Doesn't anyone recall how even more than "57 percent" thought that Bush41 was shoo-in for re-election in 1991 after the Gulf War?

Ah, but it's so much fun.

It IS a LONG way until 2016! Hillary hasn't even said she will go for it. I'm quite content to wait for developments. It is wonderful to put Hillary up as the candidate for whom the (R)'s have to find an antidote for, though!

It'll be interesting to see if the (R)'s mount some sort of pre-emptive trash Hillary campaign. Maybe get Issa to open a who-killed-Vince Foster investigation?

Hillary's numbers are important for that they are not; before she ran in 2008 her negatives were around 50%, a high hurdle to overcome that she failed to meet because of Obama's popularity. Her tenure as SS has repositioned her in the public mind, giving her an open path to the nomination over much weaker likely rivals.
