Never count your chicks before they are hatched.
I do hope she has primary contenders.
How Hillary Clinton won the 2014 midterms
The GOP had a good night. But the map, the math and the reality of Washington dysfunction favor the presumptive Democratic nominee in 2016

........There was good reason, in other words, for conservative journalist Philip Klein to crow on Twitter that this is what a wave feels like because it is.
But heres the thing: In politics, the easy answer isnt always the only answer, and the winner of an election isnt always the one who benefits most. Take a closer look at demography, geography and the road ahead for the parties, and its clear that the long-term winner of the 2014 midterms wasnt the GOP at all. The long-term winner, in fact, wasnt even on the ballot this year.
Her name is Hillary Clinton...................

(45,251 posts)If it's the same article I saw on DU earlier this week, it actually says that the people she campaigned for lost and her campaigning skills are rusty.
So, once again, a headline may look further away in the rear view mirror than the text of the article.

It's easy to win in some shill's imagination if you aren't even running.
