Romney is the comedy/schadenfreude option we all want to be nominated again because he'll never be President and it's funny to see him try.

Not that it matters a bit, but isn't Dean likely on the Clinton blacklist for his opposition to the DLC in 2004 and his backing of Obama early on in the 2008 primary?

I have every confidence the Clintons' lust for power will overcome any bad blood if Dean is even marginally useful. (See: State, secretary of)

If they spend that much and still lose in 2016, my bet is that will be the last election cycle where that kind of money is thrown around by one group.

Leaving aside that there's plenty of money being tossed around on the winning side in that scenario, the one thing you should never bet against is how divorced from reality the rich are.

I mean, look at how much money they chucked at Karl Rove, and their response was basically, "You know what went wrong? We didn't spend enough!"

My Imaginary GF posted:

Obama has had his policy influence whittled away by his repeated changes of direction and focus from 2009 to 2014 on the Democratic Senate majority. Now, all Obama has left to influence is foreign policy and appointments.

Frankly, these days, I don't trust Obama to make the right call when his phone rings at 3am. He's simply too isolated and surrounded by loyalists, far more afraid of a leak than the contents which leak, and has no understanding on how to work with a Congress dominated by the other side. You do coalition politics, not personal politics; Obama has never been one for constructing and maintaining coalitions, nor will any of his moves since the election allow him to start.

Now? Obama is damaging the consistency of American policy by interfering in areas which he knows nothing about and which he only knows rhetoric without substance. For a prime example of this, see Obama's proposal to tax 529s. Seriously, whoever came up with that poo poo of a policy should've been sacked long ago.

Also he cares too much about arranging the perfect living environment in NYC after his term is over, and not enough on winning while he's still in office. Obama has moved on mentally towarda winning the future, when we need a President able and willing to win today.

Seriously, this is not going anywhere and nobody is going to give a poo poo who wasn't already voting against her anyway.

The only way this gets legs is if it leads to a horrible, proven, easily identifiable and understandable security breach with concrete consequences. We will know if this is the case because it will be trumpeted across all major media 24/7—not the email account info itself, but the actual information contained in said breach. If this happens, it will be a big deal and all but sink Clinton's campaign.

But it won't be, because something that big would've been seen already. Which means this is a big fat load of nothing that will fall right into the BENGHAZI!!! background noise and have absolutely zero traction with anyone not looking for an excuse to scream and stamp their feet.

In summary,

I have no idea why HRM Caesar St. Augustine de Buonaparte keeps running. He claims that he sent President Clinton a letter in 1996 declaring war on the US and, since Clinton never replied, he won and is now the official Emperor of America, which would seem to make the Presidential election superfluous at best.

Had it happened 16 months from now you might have had a point too. Remember how the shutdown had weeks of coverage and Republicans tanked in the polls... then won the 2014 elections?

You mean the ones that were already heavily slanted red to begin with and had democrats put up the weakest milquetoast dorks who ran away from a president who got uninsured people insurance for the first time in like ever? Sure do!

I mean snark aside, gains were kind of locked in already. The reason it went worse than expected wasn't because everyone forgot about the shutdown, it was because the people voting in the areas Republicans won didn't care. It doesn't help that the democrats completely screwed the pooch after the GOP handed them a giant stick to beat them with. If you're going to lose, lose supporting your guy. Blathering around in the middle just makes you look like an idiot to everyone Grimes.
