Take a minute to play communications director for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential run. Your task: come up with a 30-second spot to run in the early primary states about your candidate’s four years as Secretary of State.
What part of the world do you start with? Iran? John Kerry now owns, for better or worse, the effort to bar the mullahs from getting the bomb. The “pivot to Asia”? The pushback on China in the Pacific has yet to take any visible shape beyond President Obama’s patented phrase. The “reset” with Russia? Really? Putin’s a pal now?
Anyone putting together a brag clip about Clinton’s tenure at State faces the question a Democratic strategist put to me in a recent e-mail: “Can she translate her record into accomplishments that are meaningful to Iowa farmers and flinty New Hampshire Yankees?”
An equally important requirement for you, the messaging guru, will be to erase from voters’ minds the footage—currently running nonstop in opponents’ negative ads—of Clinton angrily responding to Republican senators probing what she knew, and when, about the 2012 Benghazi terror attacks that killed four Americans: “What difference, at this point, does it make?”
Suddenly it dawns on you, the communications director: This isn’t going to be so easy after all . . . .
More than 150 years have passed since a Secretary of State ascended to the presidency. There’s just something elitist—a little too think-tanky—about diplomats for ordinary folks’ tastes. When Obama handed Clinton the office after he kayoed her in the 2008 Democratic primary, though, he allowed her a dignified hand up from the canvas. It was understood that by enhancing her global stature and keeping her on the front pages, Obama was also positioning her as frontrunner to succeed him. But five years later,...

Ok, I’ll play...

YOU can make the difference!
Americans haven’t forgotten the cattle futures, Billy Dale and the missing Rose Law Firm billing records.
Benghazi:
Name one accomplishment Hillary made as Secretary of State.
Nail the Big icth NOW!
Stop playing nice and destroy her before she has a chance to gain momentum.
*Note to RNC - stay away, your assistance is not necessary. Let the ‘real’ Patriots carry the flag.
That's something nobody here wants to hear but its a fact.
The American electorate care nothing about issues..they want to make her the first Female president..
Those are the Big Three. After the first two, I wrote them off entirely, even though many more outrages were to follow. And, you know what? This was nothing compared to Obama, who shifts billions to cronies--JP Morgan settlements to "communities", or the CGI no-bid contract grant to a company with one of Michelle's alumna buddies as an officer.
Well, seeing as how a lot of folks want Sarah Palin
as the first female President, I think she’ll have
a fight on her hands.
Oh I love the motto in that picture of her...
What a difference I make.
Seems she’s aged a bit since then.
Bwhahahahahah.
They would be fools to run a man against Hillary.
However that has not stopped them before.
Palin 2016
“If she runs she wins...That’s something nobody here wants to hear but its a fact. The American electorate care nothing about issues..they want to make her the first Female president..”
She may have beaten McCain (who had nothing to offer anyway), but if things continue in this direction no Dem will win in 2016. The scales are falling from the eyes of the most stalwart Dem supporters, and I don’t see how any current Dems distance themselves enough from this disaster to win. At some point white women are going to realize they’ve been had; I fear that most of them will be 70 years old, surrounded by younger darker foreigners jabbering in tongues, when they have their epiphany - but it will happen.
They are the demographic that lost the most besides white men; while they have temporarily held onto their paychecks better, they’ve thrown away their future generations...
I think Hillary’s only worry is will the Chicago mob field a competitive candidate in the 2016 primaries.
So far Squaw Warren is saying no.
But watch where Axlegrease, Gibbs, and Plouffy line up on the field.
She has a few murder problems too.
Thanks kristinn.

The baby-killer in a pantsuit.
California - 55
Connecticut - 7
Delaware - 3
District of Columbia - 3
Hawaii - 4
Illinois - 20
Maine - 4
Maryland - 10
Massachusetts - 11
Michigan - 16
Minnesota - 10
New Jersey - 14
New York - 29
Oregon - 7
Rhode Island - 4
Vermont - 3
Washington - 12
This totals 212 votes. You need 270 to win. This list does not include states that lean heavily blue like PA (20), NV (6), CO (9), and VA (13.) They total 48 votes. So Hillary starts out with about 260 electoral votes. And I am not including Iowa that has gone Dem seven out of the last 8 presidential elections or WI (10 votes), which has gone Dem the last 7 elections.
Any Rep is going to have an uphill battle to win. Hillary and any other Dem will be the favorites. FL or Ohio or WI will win for the Dems.
and Florida
LOL!!!
