Hillary nails it
In what comes as a major surprise, Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy for the Presidency in 2016:
Like her or love her, this ad is sheer Democratic brilliance--a cavalcade of diverse Americans from the most diverse political party in America. Hillary spends about ten seconds on camera--she lets Americans do the talking for her. I know there are going to be missteps, and we're going to see plenty of Wall Street/Centrist/Third Way Hillary, but for today, as I watched I have to admit the only thought I had was, "You know, this is a Democrat I could happily vote for."
I noticed that Reince Priebus, Chaiman of the Republican National Committee, said this week that Clinton was a good person for the republicans to run against.
No, she isn't.
The only Democrat that would be worse for them would be Elizabeth Warren. Period. Clinton has been a First Lady, U.S. Senator, and Secretary of State. You would have to go back to Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey in 1968 to find a candidate for the Presidency of the United States who was as qualified as Hillary Clinton. And there is nothing that unites Democrats (even those who aren't all that fond of the Clintons) more than republicans with their chickenshit potshots and conspiracy theories concerning Bill and Hillary.
In other words, welcome to their nightmare.

Ebola crapola
In a shocking development, republicans are trying to fire up their chickenshit (literally) base for the upcoming elections by doing what they do best: showing just how lily-livered they are in the face of any adversity, this time the challenge being ebola. And just to prove it, they are holding hearings next week, the point of which is to spread panic, and not to discuss their continuous defunding of crucial public health programs like the CDC and the NIH, or even their inability to get more funding for ebola research in the midst of the current outbreak because of their noses constantly being up the tea party's ass.
Because in republican bizarro world, little gnomes fall out of oak trees and deliver vaccines and disease control.
Needless to say, republicans are a bit defensive on the subject of their voting against funding for public health concerns, because, hell, everything from plagues of locusts to the whiskey shits are Obama's fault, and never theirs. And it certainly doesn't help their cause when the head of the NIH tells Americans that we'd have a vaccine for ebola by now if not for the budget cuts.
And once again, we have the republican party showing that they just flat don't give a shit about the well-being of Americans, unless of course you're scared shitless and sitting in a corner with your thumb in your mouth.

Bullghazi
You've got to get down on your hands and knees and give thanks every single day for the complete and utter tone deafness of the republican party when it comes to campaign issues in 2014. For some odd ass reason, they still think the American public gives two shits about Benghazi. In fact, Lindsay Graham is convinced Benghazi will haunt Democrats in 2014.
Um, no. No, it won't.
Leaving aside the fact that unless it's a truly unpopular war (see Vietnam and Bush the Lesser's two misguided and/or mishandled wars) that Americans don't care about foreign policy, there's also the rather commonsensical notion that much like a policeman in a city like, say, East St. Louis, Il, the more dangerous the place you work, the more likely you are to be killed while doing your job. I'm not saying it's right, I'm not saying everything shouldn't be done to prevent it, but it's a simple fact: being in a place where lots of people don't like you merely for who you are is a recipe for potential disaster. And let's face it, at this point in its history, Benghazi isn't exactly Pleasantville.
I think for average Americans, whose response so far has been a colossal yawn, this is much more obvious than it seems to be to your average republican politician.
