respect the President. Most people who voted for B would have voted for Hillary as well. Democrats are lucky to have Hillary on deck. Had she been elected president in 08, I doubt that Senator Barrack Obama would have been a favorite for 2016. I doubt that he would have been offered as prominent a cabinet position as SOS.

It is a plus that Dems have a clear favorite for 2016. Perhaps we can focus our energy on getting back some state legislatures between now and then. We need a juggernaut campaign in 2016 so that down ticket Dems, especially women, ride that wave to Washington.

More Progressives will get in by riding that wave than by trying to check that momentum. You need big guns to take the beach.
