(8,264 posts)It does not matter whether I agree with this outcome. The job is hers if she wants it, and there is nothing the other dems or the repugs can do about it. It will not be close.
She could very well have lost 2008 simply because she would not have mobilized the voters that put BHO in the Whitehouse. This time they are registered, the dems know where to find them, and they have come out for two cycles. Hillary will have no problem getting them out again. She will do a little better than BHO with the split Caucasian demo. Further the repugs will Benghazi and Obamacare themselves into oblivion. Hillary is an easy 7 to 10 point favorite all the way to the WH.
The question lies in how to best take advantage of the big margin she will have as you go down ticket. Done right, she has the House and Senate for at least two years, maybe all 4. If you can put real progressive legislation on her desk, she is unlikely to veto it just to burnish third way credentials that she no longer needs.
